Parent Panel review by Kirsty - review date 23 May 2009
We quite liked this product, it was a soft wetsuit like fabric, with swimsuit type fabric around the waist and leg holes. However, we found the size splashabout suggested on their sizing chart for our 18 month daughter- (Xlarge 12-24mths), was big! Therefore the waistband and leg band material was a little loose on her. Overall, we thought it was a good product available in a variety of colourways, and good value for money compared to the cost of disposible swim nappies.

Best Feature: soft, non-restictive materials used
Worst Feature: material used around legholes and waist could be stretcher/tighter
Verdict: good

Comfy swim nappy

Test length: 4 weeks
Parent Panel review by Ali - review date 8 August 2005
Ease of use: The nappy has a good design as it doesn't require the need for velcro, elastic or ties. You just pull it up over babies legs and it fits into place.

Absorbency: It had good thick material that soaked everything up although it could have benefitted from tighter elastic around the legs.

Style/Comfort: The colours are quite bright and the shape is unusual. It was comfortable for baby and it fitted nice and snug around his waist.

Quality: The Happy Napp is well designed and I liked the soft, stretchy fabric as it will fit baby for a long time.

Best Feature: The soft, unusual material
Worst Feature: elastic could be tighter around legs
Verdict: A good buy for regular swimmers

"Great product!"
I have only used swim nappies for my children so this was quite new to me. The Happy nappy was a lovely bright colour and was made of a soft wetsuit type of material. Evie was impressed when she saw it and seemed very comfortable with it on. It fitted snuggly on her legs so reassuring me there would be no leaks. It also matched her Splashabout swim jacket so looked quite cool!

"Good but not very cool looking"
I have used the happy nappy for some time. The material is good quality and the snug fit means there are no leakages. They definitely do what they are intended to do.

Whilst they are very practical and usable I do feel that the company could make the designs more appealing, especially for boys - why not a surfy image? Ollie and I tested the turquoise and yellow ones and I thought they were a bit girly for my little man.

However, this shouldn't put anyone off as they do work well.

"Great Product!"
Daniel has worn a Happy Nappy since we started going swimming. It is easy to put on, but can be a little harder to get off a wet baby. It fits really snug and I am confident that when hes wearing it, there will be no leaks!

"a great buy"
We've been using the Happy Nappy for 6 months now as it is a requirement at my sons swimming lessons. It is stretchy and looks comfortable. It looks just like swimming trunks so no need for shorts on top! I feel that it is really secure and would keep anything in should there be an accident. We went to our local pool one day and used a disposable on its own and I was worried as it didn't seem secure or snug. The only problem is that because it is tight neoprene, it acn be tricky to pull oto a wriggly baby.
