Single-use swim diapers contain super-absorbent crystals. As these crystals absorb more and more water, the swim diaper becomes heavier and heavier for the baby to wear - and for you to hold.

These crystals form a gel-type material that often bursts from so much absorption. This material can clog pool drains causing expensive damage.

The diaper disintegrates in the water, causing bacterial contamination.

Single-use swim diapers, like their dry counterparts, are bad for the environment.

You will have to keep buying single-use diapers -- reusable swim diapers are a one-time investment that will last until your child outgrows it. This can save you a lot of money!
