Unlike regular diapers, swim-proof diapers do not absorb liquids and can be used while your child is playing in the water – or learning to swim.

Swim diapers help contain solids and are great if your little one poops while swimming – while regular diapers are designed to be absorbent to keep your baby dry when they pee.

This means that when submerged in water, a regular diaper will absorb water immediately – and not only will it not help, but the heavy diaper will also weigh your baby down and eventually fall off, say experts at The contorted one explained.

The market is full of different swim diapers – or so-called swim pants – and now the German retailer has also launched its version.

Aldi’s Mamia Ultra Fit swim pants is designed for children weighing between 12kg and 18kg and comes in a pack of 12.
