Hello everyone! As promised in my last post, I will be reviewing Wee Wave Reusable Diapers, which DW has been using and enjoying for the past few weeks. Reusable swim diapers, as opposed to disposable swim diapers are much more eco-friendly and easier on the pocket. After DW’s “swim”, a quick rinse of the nappies with soap and cold water and a few hours under the sun are all that’s needed and the swim diapers are ready to be used again.
I first saw Wee Wave Diapers at a Christmas Bazaar at Tahanan Village. The stall selling the diapers, Blue Parasol, had a lot of baby and kiddie clothes that were probably “overruns” or “third shift” items. We were buying DW a jacket then when I saw this and because it was just Php250, decided to buy it too.
The verdict? It was Php250 spent well. The outer material is really soft and is made of lightweight, waterproof material. Wee Wave also claims that it has a certified UV protection factor of 50 (UPF 50+), which means that you can be assured that your little one’s tushy won’t get burned to a crisp. (SPF is for sunscreen while UPF is for clothing, learn more about UPF from the WHO here )
The flipside of the diaper is covered with soft white terry cloth. The garter and stitching around the waist and thighs are snug which ensures that accidents don’t spill into the pool 
If there’s one thing that’s not working for this diaper though is that it looks like bloomers! For the record, I’m ok with it but BDW strongly feels that they look like granny panties!! LOL! So, DW wears board shorts over his swim diapers. It’s double protection at the very least I must admit and the swim diapers do not add bulk to the board shorts. At home though, DW just wears the diapers on their own.
I bought the diapers from Blue Parasol. They’re tiangge regulars and I’ve seen them at Greenhills before. They have a permanent booth at the second floor of Market!Market! However, their stocks for Wee Wave are now all sold out. I gave my number to the saleslady so she could update me when new stocks arrive. Their multiply site HERE isn’t updated either but one of the blog posts mentioned a contact number. If I get a heads up from the saleslady I’ll tweet about it at my account @manilamommy and at the group page over at Facebook.
Here’s a pic of the blue parasol booth at Market! Market!
If you want to call them up, you can try this number: 0917.880.4730.
Swim diapers are also available from The Eco Baby Boutique although they don’t carry Wee Wave. They have a clearance sale on the Diaperaps Swim Diaper, Php300 na lang!
So to sum up…

yay! thanks blue parasol for the info!
Snug fit rin yung kay Katy, mukha ngang nahihirapan na siya huminga
(at sa laki ng pata nya!) pero paano kung liquidy yung poopy? (Teka, do babies poop even when in water? Sana di ko masagot yung tanong ko hahaha)
mimi….let me know if you find the answer hahaha
pakurot kay katy!!
Katy uses the iPlay diapers from EcoBaby naman. I got one yung may katernong rash guard saka isang diaper lang. Ang tanong ko lang talaga kung spill-proof ba talaga tong mga swim diapers? Hehe, takot akong magkalat si Katy LOL
Kay DW snug yung fit ng waist and sa thighs nya so it really looks spill proof naman but accidents do happen pero sa dagat na lang sana at wag sa pool haha
I’ll check out iPlay! Thanks 
great product
ooh I love it, thanks Nevs! I will get these for Laz – so cheap pa! (Though no swimming for him until he’s, like, 11! hahaha. Medyo praning pa ko!). Are those DW’s feet in the picture? Parang ang laki! Post ka naman ng pics of my inaanak while swimming!!!
@michelle – thanks!
@anna – hehehe DW looks big lang in pics
i’ll post summer pics soon!
Thanks for sharing this, manilamommy! I was worrying about my baby’s diaper when she goes out swimming until I read this blog.
