I read all the previous reviews about this swim diaper before purchasing so I knew that the sizing is off and to buy a larger size. (This sizing issue is not really a deal breaker with a product in my opinion--many articles of clothing are this way). There was one thing that does bring my rating down:  We have gone swimming three times and two of those three times, my daughter was sitting on my lap (after swimming). All of a sudden I felt a whoosh of warm pee on my lap. I'm definitely new to swim diapers as this is my first child and have never bought disposable ones, but I'm not really sure I will ever warm up to the idea of getting peed on at the pool. I'm not sure if a disposable diaper would have done the same thing?? I suppose the diaper was just full of water from being in the pool, but then again how is it supposed to trap urine when the baby pees in the pool? (I think the next time we are at the pool, I will change her into a dry diaper immediately after getting out of the pool to avoid getting peed on again). Other than this detail, I think the diaper is well made and washes well. I have always hand washed mine and laid it to dry (like the label says). I am however, glad that I purchased these because after a few washes it pays for itself (unlike expensive disposable diapers), it is reusable and seems built to last (through multiple children even). I do like however that it is white and not some fruity color or character print. It may be worth it however to buy a few and change baby into a new one (if you are spending the day at the pool).
