There were a lot of things I expected to happen when I became a parent.
I expected a lot of sleepless nights and to be tired A LOT.
I expected to deal with tears and tantrums.
I expected to spend a lot more of my time than I would like, dealing with someone else’s bodily functions.
But one thing I didn’t fully expect, was how much parenting would teach me.
I’ve learned about a nurturing side I didn’t realize I had.
It has taught me I can be a real bada$$ when something threatens the health or happiness of the little creature I created.
It’s taught me to be a little more playful.
But I think the most profound lesson that becoming a parent has taught me, is that “poop happens.”
Now, while this may seem like a simple statement, there are actually layers to this lesson.
First, there is the more metaphorical meaning. As in, things happen that you can’t control. So roll with the punches as best you can when your child decides to hide your keys or paint your dining room walls with their dinner.
But there is also a more concrete meaning to this lesson that parents, especially, are all too aware of. As in, poop literally does happen.
And it usually happens at the worst possible time.
It could be right after you just changed your baby’s diaper.
Or it could be right after you have finally wrestled them into their carseat and gotten them buckled in.
But as frustrating as all your other “poop happens” moments may seem, there is actually one that is worse.
Let me paint you a word picture.
It is about 1,000,000 degrees outside. You are sweating, your baby is sweating, the dog is sweating.
In a stroke of brilliance, you decide to pack up the car and hit the local pool so that everyone can get a little relief.
You get you and baby changed and into the water. It is wonderful. Your babe is splashing happily away and you are both enjoying the relief of the cool water.
But then you see it. The tell-tale face.
And you know that all of your fun is about to come to a screeching halt.
Suddenly, you have visions of children running in panic and the pool being closed down for days.
This, my friends, is the mother of all “poop happens” moments.
Your first instinct is to dash from the pool before your “poop happens” moment becomes EVERYONE’S “poop happens” moment.
But then you remember, instead of a pack of disposable swim diapers, you decided to buy the new Lil Helper reusable swim diaper to try on your little one.
You breathe a sigh of relief, and here’s why:
Inflatable Floaties Only: You know your Lil Helper swim diapers have been designed for a snug fit that ensures that you, your baby, and your unicorn shaped floaty are the only ones bobbing around in the pool.
No Stains: The soft, inner mesh lining is of your swim diaper charcoal colour - so no stains! Even though your baby had blueberries for breakfast.
Multiple Uses: When you were deciding whether or not to take the plunge (see what I did there?) on reusable swim diapers, you had doubts. You asked yourself, “Why would I buy a diaper that won’t even hold in pee? What are the odds that my baby will poop while we are swimming?” Turns out that, much like the ‘Hunger Games,’ when it comes to poop, the odds are never in your favour. But even on the off chance you don’t feel like this is enough, it can also be used as a diaper cover in a pinch. Simply add the liners of your choice for absorbency.
Protection, Now and Forever: Your swim diaper has adjustable snap settings that will allow this diaper to fit your little one from tadpole to leapfrog. This means that if (when) this happens again (and again, and again), you won’t have to worry because this diaper will fit them from about 10-40lbs.
Economical and Effective: Not only does this diaper give you a better fit than disposable swimmers, it can be washed and reused. Saving the environment, your money, and your beach day.
In the pool, at home, or at the beach this swim diaper is a must have under any swim suit or even on its own! Because here at Lil Helper, we know that everyone needs to learn that “poop happens” but they don’t need to learn it the hard way.

Swim diaper love
I love that this swim diaper is adjustable…. it’s why I love the lil helper diapers- one size fits all!!
Again, super cute prints. Just make sure you don’t follow your diaper settings…. you need to make this diaper tight so nothing escapes, and there aren’t any liners to fill the diaper.
Totally recommend!

cute and practical
I just used our swim diaper. It works just like their other diapers except the fit needs to be pulled tighter since there are no inserts used. our baby is 5 months and was on some of the smaller settings, so maybe if your baby is on the small side it might not be snug enough yet. Otherwise its great and we bought two.

Love it!
We love the swim diaper, the lining is mesh so it catches everything. Fit is great and love the different prints!

Summer essential
We love that this diaper is adjustable like the regular cloth diapers. Means we won’t have to buy a new on every summer. The fit is amazing and they keep the poop in. The darker inside prevents stains too.

Very happy customer
I love the swim diaper, great patterns to choose from, it is soft and easy to use, and has grey mesh so no stains! The only swim diaper I will ever use!

I trust it.
With 6 months of Lil Helpers catching poop behind us it only made sense to get swim diapers from the same company for Baby’s first pool foray. The other ones were so soggy and awkward fitting in the tub it was sad.
This swim diaper is soft and cute and most importantly does it’s job well. Other Mamas in the changing room are always asking about it while they pull soggy disposables off their kids. I put Baby’s suit on over the swim diaper (ocean blue diaper with hot pink frilly swimming bottoms…) but I’m sure we will just use the swim diaper as bottoms a bunch as well (Dandy Lions are on their way). Also, Baby is back to the smallest snap settings since there are no inserts – the nostalgia is real.

Huge Success
Just used the swim diaper for the first time this week and it was just perfect! Sizing was equivalent to the Cloth Diapers which was nice for my Mom Brain and my son was totally comfortable in them. We will be getting a lot of use out of this diaper.

The ONLY swim diaper that you need!
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this swim diaper! Perfect fit and I love that it is adjustable so that I do not have to buy one-size reusable swim diapers every season. Before this swim diaper, I bought 4 of another brand only to use them a few times each before I had to upgrade to a new size. Talk about a waste of money!
Also, it is PURE GENIUS to design a swim diaper that can be easily un-snapped for quick removal…no more having to peel off a snug wet swim diaper (pull up style swim diapers are horrible, especially if baby/toddler has a #2 accident in them. That being said, make sure that you buy at least 2 LilHelper swim diapers).

Perfect!
Love this swim diaper! Great quality and grows with your child! No more having to buy a new one every year!

The last swim diaper I will ever buy
Seriously this is amazing! We own (or should I say owned) 5 different reusable swim diapers and this is finally one that fits the bill. It can easily fit a smaller baby, but also still comfortably fits my 30lbs toddler with plenty of room to grow. It even contains the poop and looks cute doing it.
