Washing little swimmers?

Question

hey all, I had a lady told me yesterday that those little swimmers are washable in the washer, is this true? if so that rocks, because they can get a bit pricey!

Answer 1

No they are disposables and that means they weren't tested.  If you wash them you will have a mess to clean up.  Get a regular swimsuit.

Answer 2

i've heard the same thing, because these diapers are for water use, you should be able to rinse pee out, i know a person who does reuse them... but don't stick them in the dryer...

does your kid go swimming often? if not don't bother washing them

on another note, swimmers diapers should not be used as regular diapers as outside of water they do not hold pee..... i had a friend who ran out of diapers, used a swimmer diaper and the kid peed all over a highchair in a restaurant

Answer 3

i know what you mean!They can get really pricy! I went to Baby's R Us and bought the nondissposible swim diapers! They are great!

About your question... I have never washed them but I have reused them! I wouldnt think you could wash them because they would fall apart!  

Answer 4

Those swim diapers you mean?

I have never heard of that, but I am sure they would fall apart, and gel would get all over everything else in the washer.

Answer 5

No, I don't think that lady knew what she was talking about.  

Answer 6

uh, i used them for one summer and decided it was best to just put her in her swimsuit and let her have at it. they don't hold pee anyways.

the pee goes right through them. they are meant to hold p**p only. so really when she pees in it the pee goes in the water regardless.

Answer 7

The swim diapers? I never did, I just bought anouther one each time we went to the pool they don't cost much.

Answer 8

That's gross.Why would you wash them when you kid pees in them.I wouldn't even consider doing that.It is a diaper.

Answer 9

I am not sure I understand what you mean by little swimmers.

Answer 10

No, I would think they would fall apart in the washer.

Answer 11

Hun they are called swim nappiesdiapers and should be treated as a nappy/diaper you should  throw them away,
