    PUL covers as a swim nappy??

    Would this work? I've never seen one IRL.

    I would assume so - might be a bit uncomfy for bubs against their skin though.

    You could try just a pocket cover - that apparently works fine too.

    if the cover gets wrecked, thru being in chlorine, you might invalidate your warranty. i'd check if the manufacturer advises you put their cover in chlorine etc, first.

    i'm really happy with our imse vimse swim nappy, much prefer swim nappies that you can undo at the hip (not pull up types).

    Thanks guys. I have bought a swim nappy for the time being (none were quite what I was after looks-wise) but if anyone knows of some good one-pieces with a built in nappy, I'd love to hear about it.

    imse vimse do a tankini that matches their swim nappy.

    i think iPlay do a one piece bather too (with built in swim nappy).

    for my DD, i have her in a rashie top, swim nappy and swim shorts (she is very pale).

    the IV nappy that Gigi mentioned has a matching tankini with a frily bit on it...not quite one piece, but the closest thing I have found.
    you can get them at Nurture Nappies

    ETA lol Gigi! Thats what happens when I open windows 20 mins before I reply!

    Yes I've seen both the IV tankini and the iplay suits but I am being fussy I'm fed up with pinks and pastels and mermaids/fish etc. She has heaps of those in rash shirts and rash suits. I want something a bit funky in a bold colour like red or navy. I did see some lovely ones on a US site but they were around $80 - can't justify that, no matter how fussy I am!

    have you thought about getting anormal swim nappy and getting some bathers from a shop like normal?
    Perhaps try Kids Central...not sure where you are?
    I know there is one at Chadstone in Melbourne...Anyway, they sell a lot of very funky stuff, not cheap, mostly imported, but if you want something particular, they will have something
