If your little one is in swim lessons, you already know the drill. Every week you need a swim nappy. But have you ever actually added up what that costs?
Let's do the maths.
A pack of disposable swim nappies costs around $10-15 for 10-12 nappies. That works out to roughly $1.50-2.00 per nappy.
If your child swims twice a week (once at lessons, once at the beach or pool on weekends), that's roughly 100 swim nappies per year.
Annual cost: $150-200 per child. Per year. In landfill.
A Pekpi reusable swim nappy costs $34.95 and lasts hundreds of swims. Most families grab two so they always have a dry one ready.
Annual cost: $69.90. Total. That's it.
This is where it gets interesting. Disposable swim nappies are designed to absorb liquid, which means they swell up with pool water. They get heavy, saggy, and uncomfortable for your baby.
Reusable swim nappies don't absorb water. They're designed to contain solids (which is the whole point) while staying lightweight and comfortable. Your baby can actually move freely in the water.
100 disposable swim nappies per child, per year. Multiply that by the estimated 1.5 million Australian children in swim lessons. That's 150 million disposable swim nappies heading to landfill every year.
Our swim nappies are made from recycled plastic bottles. Each one diverts approximately 5 bottles from the ocean. And because they last for years, one reusable nappy can prevent hundreds of disposables from entering landfill.
Reusable swim nappies save you money, perform better in the water, and keep waste out of landfill. There's really no downside.
