As parents begin to prepare for the upcoming summer season, ALDI has launched water diapers.
With temperatures finally warming up and many families thinking of heading overseas for a seaside holiday, discount supermarket Aldi has launched a line of swim-safe nappies.
Unlike regular diapers, anti-swimming diapers do not absorb liquids, so they can be used when your child plays in the water or learns how to swim.
Swim diapers help absorb solids and are perfect if your little one poops while swimming. Regular diapers, on the other hand, are highly absorbent and designed to keep your baby dry when peeing.
This means that regular diapers absorb water quickly when soaked, which not only makes them useless, but heavy diapers weigh down your baby and may end up falling off. explained Rigler experts.
The market is full of various swimming diapers, so-called swimming trunks, and a German retailer has also launched a version of it.
Aldi's Mamia Ultra Fit Swim Pants are designed for babies weighing between 12kg and 18kg and come in 12 packs.
The summer essentials retail for £3.29 and are said to be “designed with a special absorbent material that won't bulge up like a nappy”.
Aldi says the soft material swim trunks will ensure babies are “comfortable and protected while playing in the water”, and the bargain is already a big hit with parents.
Chelsea Yates, one of the Aldi shoppers, shared her discovery on Facebook in the popular Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group.
“Aldi now wears swim diapers! First time I've seen that,” she wrote in the caption of the post.
Less than 24 hours after it was uploaded to the popular page, Chelsea's post has already garnered over 800 likes and 730 comments as people race to tell their friends and family .
One of the store's customers was unable to find swimming essentials at his local branch.
“Unfortunately, we don’t have it at our local Aldi,” groaned a shopper.
Another person tagged someone close to her and wrote, “I need to eat something for the holidays.”
Others wondered if there were more size options to fit smaller babies.
“Does anyone know if it's only 5-6 times or 3-4 times?”
“I saw him once in my store and he was only 5 or 6 years old.”
“Good price for a swimmer,” thought one member of the group.
Does my child need a swim diaper?
Swimming is one of the most popular and fun activities for babies and children, not to mention it teaches essential skills as well.
But while investing in a swim diaper may seem like a waste of money to some parents, many public pools will actually deny you access if your baby isn't wearing a swim diaper. may be.
As the experts at Belle & Beau Little pointed out, even if your child is potty trained, it's a good idea to have them wear a swim diaper for a while to avoid accidents.
Swim diapers are required for infants and children in public swimming facilities for the following purposes:
- Prevent poop in water
- Reduce the spread of fecal bacterial contamination
- Prevents the spread of waste bacteria such as E. coli.
- Prevent such germs from infecting you in and around your pool.
If you don't have an Aldi store near you, bargain hunters have revealed rival ASDA also offers swim pants. The price of the product will also be lower.
A customer said: “ASDA is £1 cheaper” and shared a screenshot of the Little Angels ASDA swim shorts.
The £3 bargain includes 11 “super soft and safe” water diapers that are “safe to use in the water”.
This dermatologically tested swim essential is “easy to put on and take off” thanks to “rip-prone side seams”.
