To use Esembly as a swim diaper, simply remove the cotton Inner part of the diaper and use the Esembly Outer diaper cover on its own. This single piece is specifically designed by Esembly to double as a functional swim diaper.
Understanding Esembly's Dual Functionality
Esembly has ingeniously designed its Esembly Outer diaper covers to serve a dual purpose: they function as the waterproof outer layer of their cloth diaper system and as an effective swim diaper. This eliminates the need to purchase separate swim-specific products if you're already an Esembly user.
The key to their efficacy as a swim diaper lies in their design, which is intended to contain solids while allowing water to pass through, preventing the diaper from soaking up excessive amounts of water and becoming heavy.
Step-by-Step Guide: Using Your Esembly Outer as a Swim Diaper
Transforming your Esembly Outer into a swim diaper is straightforward:
- Remove the Inner Diaper: Detach and set aside the absorbent cotton Inner part of the Esembly diaper system. This component is not needed for swimming and would absorb water, becoming cumbersome.
- Use the Outer Cover Alone: Fasten the Outer diaper cover directly onto your child. Ensure it's snug around the waist and thighs to contain any potential solid waste effectively.
What to Use & What Not to Use
For clarity, here's a quick guide on what Esembly components are used for swimming:
| Component | Usage for Swimming | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Esembly Outer | ✅ Yes, on its own | Designed to contain solids; acts as the primary swim diaper. |
| Esembly Inner | ❌ No, remove it | Absorbs liquid, which is undesirable in a swim diaper. |
| Booster | ❌ No, remove it | Additional absorbency, also undesirable for swimming. |
Why Esembly Outers Work as Swim Diapers
Esembly Outers are not just repurposed; they are specifically engineered to function as swim diapers. Their waterproof yet breathable fabric is perfect for the pool or beach because they:
- Contain Solids: Their snug fit and durable material are excellent at containing solid messes, which is the primary requirement for any public or private swimming facility.
- Don't Absorb Water: Unlike regular diapers or even the Esembly Inner, the Outer cover itself does not absorb water, meaning it won't swell up, become heavy, or weigh your child down in the water.
- Offer Reusability: Using your existing Esembly Outer saves money and reduces waste, making it an eco-friendly choice for swim time.
This convenient dual-purpose design makes Esembly a practical solution for active families.
