Hey I'm after some advice.

My daughter is 7 and is about to start swimming with the school. She suffers with slight bowel incontinence and I'm wondering what other parents use to help protect/secure accidents.

Many thanks

Hi my daughter is 8yrs and i was using swim nappies but when they became too small I undone the sides and sat in swim costume.not great but I did not know what to do..i now have a swim costume can't remember the website but will find out later for you..the costume I have is especially made for bowel incontinence it has a panel fitted inside which you can adjust and you can adjust the top of leg area it cost nearly £50 but there are slightly cheaper ones. We got it recently so she has only wore once, she had not moved her bowels when worn but I'm sure it would be great. I will check for website name and get back to you

We bought one of the swimming costumes from Eric which has a secure inner lining/pants. They work really well but are very expensive.

My son wears a pair of trunks with a pair of swimming shorts over the top and uses the disabled toilet after as there’s a private shower in there. I’m going to look up the swimming kit on the Eric website now, I didn’t know about that 😁
