It does not absorb at all. I put the swimmer on her, and right before we got into the water she said mommy I am wet. Urine was running down her legs into her swim shoes, puddle where she was standing, and bathing suit was soaked with urine. When I took the swimmer off of her it made a bigger mess because urine was laying in the swimmer. Did not absorb at all.

My daughter is not quite up to the weight listed on the package, yet they fit quite well and didn't get overly soaked. She didn't seem to notice that she had a "swimmer" diaper on. Taking them off wasn't too much trouble either; I had expected that they would stick to her wet skin

Little Swimmers are an essential summer accessory for your baby or toddler. They do not absorb water like diapers and balloon out. They keep them contained in case of accidents. The only thing you have to be careful of is that they are not diapers and do leak if you have them on before you get to the pool. You also need to take them off immediate after swimming or they cause a rash.

I really dig these diapers, they are great for all types of water fun. It doesnt matter if we are at the Waterpark, River, Beach or Neighborhood Pool. When our daughter is wearing these swim diapers, we feel very confident there will be no mess leaking out. We also feel secure knowing that no water is getting Into the diaper to irritate her skin. I recommend these to anyone whose children enjoy the aforementioned summer activities! P.s. They are very similar to pull ups. That makes them great for all stages of potty training.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use these in multiple sizes in our house! They realistically do very little if your little one pees, but do a great job if your little one tragically takes a dookie in the pool. They fit well and don't puff up with water. You'll want to put your kid back in a real diaper as soon as you get out of the water though.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So when I tried these out on my 1 year old. It worked out. My 1 year old was in the pool for 2 hours straight. Once I removed his swimsuit and wetsuit, I was in shock. His swimmers did not bulk nor swell up with water. It looked dry and flat. I still don't understand how LOL..I was AMAZED!!! Best product for swimming.

i used them on my first child when he was i would say a year and half and i gotta say they really work. i was able to take him into the pool without having to worry about him usong the potty. they fit him great it was like he was wearing a regular huggies diaper. i will definitly use them again.!!!

I used these on both my kids (boy and girl) until they were well past the potty training stages. The kids love putting on the colorful diapers with their favorite characters. The other members of our pool love that they WORK so that we don't have a 'code brown' in the pool ;)

I always have a pack of swimpants around for my child to use in our pool. They are easy to pull on and off even when they are wet and they don't fill up with water. For kids that aren't potty-trained huggies little swimmer swimpants are a must have for the summer.

I had to buy my son size large this years but was able to use up what was left of our Mediums. I like that the sizes have a large weight range. They hold up really well pool side with all moving aroung on the cement. Patters are always fun and the price is fair.
