The other day I was at the pool with my friend Yael and her little girl, Noa. We were discussing the possibility of drying out swim diapers so that they could be used again. After all, they are generally only worn for a short amount of time, and not much happens (usually) in that time. Yael said she would give it a try, and report back. Here are her findings:
After our great day at the pool yesterday and realizing that the swim diaper we used was the last in our stock – and knowing that we wanted to swim again today and given that I had no patience for a quick morning trip to target – I wrung out the diaper and hung it from our drying rack near a window that gets partial sun. 24 hours later – it was completely dry and ready to go! No odor - pool or otherwise. I think drying out used swim diapers works – as long as they are not poopy!! : )
I’ll be trying this for sure for the rest of the summer, as I ordered one more pack of swim diapers and I want it to last for the rest of the season!
