Product Information

Full details

The Splash About Incontinence Swim Shorts are designed for children experiencing faecal incontinence, offering a discreet and secure solution for swimming activities. The primary benefit is enabling older children to participate in swimming with confidence, without the bulk of traditional swim diapers. A potential consideration is that these are single-layer neoprene and designed to contain solids, requiring proper fit for optimal performance. Key features include specialist ribbing for containment, a contoured body-hugging design, and a higher-fitting waist for comfort and support.

FAQs

How do I ensure the best fit?

The shorts should fit snugly around the waist and thighs, similar to a wetsuit. Measure your child's waist and thigh circumference and compare it to the sizing chart. A snug fit is crucial for effective containment.

Can these be worn alone?

These shorts are designed to be worn under regular swimwear for discretion and added protection. While they offer containment, they are often used in conjunction with other swimwear.

What type of incontinence are these best suited for?

The Splash About Incontinence Swim Shorts are specifically designed to contain solid faecal matter. They are less effective for urinary incontinence or liquid faecal incontinence.

How do I clean the swim shorts?

Rinse immediately with cool, fresh water after swimming. Hand wash gently with a mild detergent if needed. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Hang to air dry away from direct heat.

What are the shorts made of?

The shorts are made from a single layer of neoprene, which provides a flexible and comfortable fit while aiding in containment.

Are these suitable for all ages?

These shorts are designed for children and are available in various sizes. Please refer to the specific size guide for children's UK sizing (e.g., Size 7-8) to find the appropriate fit.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the child's measurements. A snug fit is necessary, but it should not restrict movement or breathing. Consult the sizing guide if unsure.

Leakage is occurring

Verify that the shorts are fitting snugly around the waist and thighs. The specialist ribbing must be in firm contact with the skin. Ensure there are no gaps. These shorts are primarily for solid containment; they are not designed for liquid faecal incontinence.

Material feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly after each use and using only mild detergent for hand washing. Avoid fabric softeners, harsh chemicals, and high heat drying, which can degrade the neoprene.
