A swim diaper PSA

Please allow me to make a public service announcement about Kushies swim diapers. In short, they are not waterproof. Not even a little.

BabyBear and I have enjoyed our aquafit/swim class combo for a few months now. Up until this point, we have been using Lil Swimmers disposable swim diapers. The success of the class and our ongoing commitment to swim skills prompted me to switch to washable swim diapers, complete with cute patterns in flashy colours.

BB was not particularly happy about life when I got her dressed for class yesterday. She stopped wailing as I picked her up and climbed the stairs to the pool. It was then that I realized that reference to "water resistant" in the product description was misleading. I had wasted $12 on our cute, but free flowing, nappy.

BB had stopped crying only so she could focus on peeing all over me. Already late for class, I just marched on and submerged BB's lower half in the water before she could express herself again.
