Well the title of this blog says it all! On our trip we encountered some pretty hot weather – we were only 10 days into the trip when we got 48 degrees! Fortunately that was pretty much the hottest but as the further up North we went the more humid it was.
Thinking of it Euan really only dirtied his swim nappy about 5 times for the whole duration of the trip (being 18 –24months on the trip he’s less likely to dirty a nappy in the water). Could you imagine if we’d used disposable swim nappies, one a day for 6 months is about 180 nappies that would have just been thrown away with only 5 having been ‘dirty’. What a total waste of money not to mention another bag of nappies in landfill.
Considering the amount of wear they got not just in the water but in the sun and being scraped across rocks, in the sand etc the Mother-ease swim nappies have performed brilliantly. We never had any leakage, they were easy to clean (although my husband was a bit squeamish about cleaning the dirty swim nappies - what is it about men and poo?!) it’s no big deal especially if you’re used to using cloth nappies.
I can say that these swim nappies were thoroughly tested by Euan and they came out with top marks from us (we like to personally try all our products). The bonus of course being we’ve got nappies for his swimming lessons as well – so they really are value for money Actually you only need to have 2 (maybe more with a younger child as they might be more likely to dirty their nappy). So we just had one swim nappy as a spare – took a plastic bag with us to the beach to put the dirty nappy in for cleaning when we got back to the caravan park – too easy.
Take a look at the Mother-ease swim nappies here, we’ve currently got Jade and Brazilian gender neutral colours in stock but we can order in other colours (red, blue or lilac) for you so just contact us ( info@downtoearthbaby.com) Once you try them you’ll be hooked!
Have a happy ‘green’ day
