The award-winning Bambino Mio Reusable Swim Nappy is made from lightweight fabric which won't weigh your baby down in the water like disposable nappies do.

Made from 80% cotton and 20% polyester, the concealed, laminated water-resistant layer and inner pad is designed to keep unexpected leaks safely in.

If your child is wearing them every day, you’ll want at least five pairs of reusable potty training pants to start with.
