Rockin' a Swim


Rock-A-Bums, Rockin' a Swim


Now the weather is starting to turn nice, and our minds start shifting from mud puddles and umbrellas to flip flops and swimming pools.  The sounds, smells and surroundings of summer are finally here...

Every family has their own way of beating the heat, but for us, we like to be outside (lathered in sunscreen of course) and in some form of water.  Now, since we exclusively cloth diaper, finding a swim diaper is not all that difficult, we have a stash full of them.  It only takes one MINOR adjustment to our every day Rock-A-Bums cover to turn it into a swim diaper.  I take the cover, (which is on the middle rise snap setting for my daughter), and I snap it down to the smallest rise setting.  That is all.  I know what you’re thinking, “it really can’t be that easy,” but, it REALLY is!  Once I have it snapped down, all I have to do is put it on her, along with her swimsuit and she is set! 

When using the Rock-A-Bums diaper as a swim diaper, you want to make sure that you leave OUT the insert.   No insert is necessary when using it as a swim diaper, you just want the cover to hold in any messes. 

Do you know what I love best about using my Rock-A-Bums diapers as swim diapers?
1.       The inside is GRAY fleece, so if she makes a mess inside of it, it won’t show a stain

2.       They are reusable, so I won’t be creating any waste

3.       I don’t have to rush to the store to find the right “size” before my little darling can splash in the pool. 

 

It’s a win for everyone!

  16. LOVE going to the beach. I grew up 12 hours away from the beach, but not I live 15 minutes away! Favorite summer activity by far... and the best way to combat the heat!

  17. my girls love the water. My 10 month old throws temper tantrums when bath time is OVER! ha... (not that I'm fond of the tantrums) it's pretty funny.
    My 3 y/o got to have a swimming party for her birthday (In January in WI!!) And she didn't want to get out of the water, even when she started turning blue! I'm thrilled for the weather here to be nice enough (almost) to be going to the beach and out on the boat and all that fun stuff. my girlies will get plenty of time in the water this year I'm sure!
