FAQs
How do I determine the right size Orby Swim Wrap for my baby?
Refer to the product sizing guide or consider your baby's current weight and height. The wrap should fit snugly but allow for comfortable movement. Some sibling products specify UK baby sizes.
Can the Orby Swim Wrap be worn on its own or over a swimsuit?
The Orby Swim Wrap is designed to be worn directly against the skin, over a swim nappy. It is not intended to be worn over a full swimsuit.
What is the primary benefit of the 2mm neoprene material?
The 2mm double-lined neoprene provides insulation, helping to keep babies warm and comfortable in the water for longer periods.
How does the Orby Swim Wrap protect sensitive skin?
It helps keep barrier cream securely in place, ensuring continuous protection for babies with sensitive skin or those prone to irritation.
Is the Orby Swim Wrap machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the wrap gently with cold water and mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or tumble dry.
What level of sun protection does the wrap offer?
The Orby Swim Wrap offers UPF 50+ sun protection, which is the highest rating available, shielding delicate skin from harmful UV rays.
How easy is it to change a diaper while the baby is wearing the wrap?
The wrap opens flat and features adjustable Velcro closures, making diaper changes quick and convenient, even for wriggly babies.
Troubleshooting
Wrap feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the Velcro closures. Ensure the neoprene is not bunched up and lies flat against the skin for a secure fit.
Baby still seems cold
Ensure the wrap is the correct size and that all parts are securely fastened. Consider the water temperature; the wrap provides warmth but is not a heating device.
Velcro is not sticking well
Clean the Velcro hooks and loops by hand to remove any lint or debris. Ensure the area around the Velcro is dry when fastening.
Wrap causes skin irritation
Ensure the wrap is clean and free from residues. Check that the fit is not too tight. Discontinue use if irritation persists and consult a healthcare professional.
