What is a Happy Nappy Duo? The Happy Nappy Duo is Splash About’s new and improved reusable swim diaper. It takes all the amazing benefits of their original Happy Nappy such as its waterproof neoprene outer layer and snug fitting legs and waistband and adds an innovative silver lining. The lining gives the diaper antibacterial properties to knock out germs from any accidents your child may have while swimming. This cutting-edge, silver lining is why we at Swim Lessons with Mary require all non-potty-trained swimmers to wear a Happy Nappy Duo during their swim lessons to help keep the pool clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone! Why the Silver Lining? Silver has been used for centuries to help kill bacteria. Dr Pam Cameron completed a scientific study on behalf of Splash About and found that, “The Silver lining fabrics have been tested and redeveloped over a 2-year period. The final product is highly antibacterial in a pool water solution and Imaging at CytoViva shows Cryptosporidium Oocysts cell walls as flattened and shriveled, when interacting with the silver from the fabric.” What does this all mean? You can rest assured that you are helping to protect your child and other swimmers from nasty germs like E-Coli, Gastroenteritis, and Covid 19 when putting a Happy Nappy Duo on your baby. What’s even better? Silver has also been found to soothe skin conditions, so if your child struggles with diaper rash, eczema, or similar skin conditions, the Happy Nappy Duo will help instead of further irritating them! Where to Get a Happy Nappy Duo? You can find Happy Nappy Duos for purchase in several different places. We highly encourage all of our clients to purchase directly from the Splash About website in advance of your first lesson. Their website has a wonderful variety of awesome patterns and sizes. In a pinch and forgot to bring one for your lesson? No worries! We carry a few of each size on the pool deck just in case!
