Splash About swimming trunks

Here you will find the large selection of Happy Nappy diaper swim trunks, wetsuits, swim vests and other bathing accessories for the little ones. Anyone with babies and toddlers knows that it's absolutely fantastic to have them in the swimming pool. They enjoy the movement possibilities in the water, and they are stimulated in all areas.

In order to maintain a certain level of hygiene in the pools, the swimming halls require the little ones to wear special nappies until they are completely clean.

It can be difficult to find a solution that fits your kid perfectly and one that can actually keep accidents at bay. Fortunately, there is a good model from Splash About that is really well-thought-out. That is why it is often also a favourite among parents.

New requirements from the public swimming pools applicable from 2019

Most public Irish swimming pools have introduced new and stricter requirements from 2019 in order to avoid too many accidents in their pools. In the past, it was enough with a classic swim nappy and possibly a pair of swim trunks to keep the diaper in place. But it is no longer enough as too many leaks occurred. Now all the kids must wear approved diaper swim trunks and an approved swim diaper underneath. There must therefore be two approved layers.

The new requirements do not apply to all public Irish swimming pools, but more and more are joining. And it's also nice as a parent to have some guidelines for what actually works. After all, it's embarrassing to be the one standing with the baby who is to blame for a pool having to be closed for a few hours. Especially if it could easily have been avoided with the right clothing. But which diaper swim trunks should you choose? And which models do the swimming pools recommend?

Happy Nappy diaper swim trunks are the perfect choice

Splash about have designed a model of diaper swim trunks that is approved and recommended in several places. The model is called “Happy Nappy”.

The Happy Nappy diaper swim trunks fit snugly, without hindering the kid's movement or tightening his or her joints. At the same time, a diaper can be placed under the swim trunks, which can be completely covered by the swim trunks, so that the diaper itself does not stick out. This is an important factor in avoiding leakage after an accident. That is why they have just become popular in Ireland, especially after the latest regulations in the area.

Of course, the fact that they keep accidents at bay does not mean that you and the kid can stay in the water if one should occur. You must, as always, rush out of the water with the kid and bathe them if you have to return to the swimming pool afterwards. But when the diaper doesn't leak, you avoid the pool having to be shut off for several hours afterwards so that the water can be cleaned thoroughly before it can be used again.

The inner bathing diaper

In addition to a requirement for tight-fitting diaper swim trunks, there is also a requirement for some form of inner diaper. It can either be a normal bathing diaper or some kind of insert designed for the purpose.

There are specially designed diaper inserts for Happy Nappy, but not all places sell them together with the nappies. It is easier to order the inserts online.

There are many brands to choose from of the regular bath nappies. Here you have to try which ones fit your baby the best. It is often the leg openings of the bathing nappies that are decisive for the fit. Some babies have thin thighs, while others have thick thighs, and then of course there are all those in between. One of the most sold bathing nappies in our country are those from “Little Swimmers”. They are sold in most supermarkets. You can get them in several sizes. They have elastic leg openings, and therefore fit a wide size group. They are also typically the ones that you can buy at the public swimming pools, unless they are familiar with some models that they find better.

A bathing diaper from Little Swimmers can fit nicely under a Happy Nappy diaper swim trunk. Therefore, a combination of these is an obvious choice when you have to take your small kid for a trip to the swimming pool.

Top quality with Happy Nappy

The Happy Nappy diaper swim trunks are made of good quality and durable materials. They can therefore easily be passed on to siblings, or sold on when the kid has outgrown them.

Splash About's Happy Nappy is made of 100% thin and flexible neoprene, which is comfortable for the kid to wear. In addition, they are 100% tight-fitting, which provides optimal security against leakages. Although it is recommended and required in several places that there must be an inner diaper or an insert, the trunks can be used without these. In addition, there are no elastics in it. This way the kid avoids having marks from tight elastics afterwards.

And they are also super easy to put on and take off, even when they are wet or when the kid is wet.

It is no wonder that they have become so popular and that more and more parents are choosing them for their kids.
It is also possible to get them as suits. It can be practical in the sun, as there is sun protection in it. Then you get rid of the bad grip when you hold your kid, due to wet sunscreen, which makes the kid's skin very smooth when it is in water.

What size should you pick for your kid?

You must, of course, pick the size that fits your kid at the moment.
If you already know the models from the previous variant, then with the new one you must pick a size larger than with the previous model, as the fit itself has changed slightly in the new version. Here is an overview guide of the indicative sizes the trunks are available in. But remember that, as with all other kids clothing, they can vary according to the kid's size. It is therefore only an indicative guide.
