Many public & private pools now require babies to wear 2 layers of swim nappies while using their facilities.  We also follow this rule at Little Turtle Swim Company.

The double layer consists of an inner swim nappy (the absorbent layer) & an outer layer (the containment layer) which is either a swim nappy that has a good seal around the leg & waist or a wetsuit that incorporates the nappy design.

Layer 1: Inner Nappy
You can use disposable swim nappies but our recommendation would be to purchase a reusable/washable inner layer as this could save you money in the long term & it is kinder on the environment.  The swim nappy we have available is from Konfidence ‘one size fits all’ & should last your child for a considerable time. 

Layer 2: Outer Nappy
This should fit snugly & create a seal around the leg & waist so no leakages occur.  Konfidence (Nappicovas) & Splash About (Happy Nappy) are two companies that have suitable outer nappy ranges – Little Turtle stock the Splash About Happy Nappy. 

Layer 2: Baby Snug Wetsuit
This product is from Splash About & is a mini-wetsuit that covers the torso, has long sleeves & incorporates that Happy Nappy ~ this means that it constitutes as the second nappy layer as it seals around the leg & waist.

Please note that if a wetsuit is worn that does not create a seal around the legs (a wrap / surf or UV suit) this does not constitute as the second layer & therefore the inner & outer protective layer must be worn underneath the wetsuit.

Outer Layer: Wrap Wetsuit
There are many 'wrap' design wetsuits on the market.  Generally they open completely flat so is very easy to put on and take off your baby.  They are usually made from soft pliable neoprene (the material used for Wetsuits) & styled to wrap around and insulate the body.
As the wrap does not create a seal around the leg it CANNOT be used as the second nappy layer; the wrap is worn over the inner & outer swim nappies. 

Outer Layer: Surf Style Wetsuit
These wetsuits are an all-in-one piece that are made of neoprene, cover the shoulders & zip up the front.  We stock the 'Two Bare Feet' range.
As the surf style wetsuit does not create a seal around the leg it CANNOT be used as the second nappy layer; it should be worn over the inner & outer swim nappies.
