Babyworld's big test

Welcome to the second instalment of our August big test where our parent panel give you their honest, detailed and experienced opinions. Our product testings section is increasing rapidly and it's wonderful to see so many of you adding your reviews. If you want to help out with testing products and get involved with big tests, don't delay! Sign up now and become a parent panel member. It takes just a few minutes to register and you'll be able to share your invaluable comments and opinions with the rest of the babyworld community.

Our parent panel have come up trumps this month with their detailed reviews on what works in the world of swim nappies. The panel is a group of mums from Berkhampstead who met through their antenatal classes at the local 'Berko clinic'. The babies are now all over a year old and their mummies ensure they meet up every week for swimming, coffee and play.

All about swim nappies

We simply couldn't let summer go by without giving swim nappies a good run for their money. Not only are they an essential buy for summer, but the majority of parents rely on them all year round when taking their baby to the local swimming pool, health club or lido.

A good swim nappy will provide comfort for baby, reassurance for mum and dad and keep the swimming pool nice and hygienic for everyone else! Disposable nappies are good for those who go swimming occasionally, but if you're a regular visitor to the pool, a proper swim nappy with good absorbency and quality materials is key. It's also important to look for adjustable fastenings or stretchy fabrics that will accommodate your growing baby - otherwise you'll be splashing out on new nappies every month!

The swim nappy market has grown immensely in recent years and there is a huge choice of styles, fabrics and designs on offer. To ensure you make the correct choice for your baby, read our compare and contrast Test Overview which gives you a more rounded view of how each nappy performed under different criteria.

What we tested for

Our parent panel looked at six different swim nappies - testing them over a period of four weeks at their local swimming classes. Our mums gave the 'babyworld best buy' award to the Zoggs swim nappy, but you may find other nappies scored better in other categories.
