Only reason I give a 3 star is due to the fact that you can only adjust them so far. We brought for grandson and he is very skinny so they allowed water in when in the water so his nappy got wet, which we wanted to protect.
Hello Donna,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and share your feedback on the R194 Pool Protector Pants.
We really appreciate your comments and understand your concerns. It’s important to mention that these pants aren’t designed to keep water out entirely no fabric can create a completely watertight seal. Instead, they’re intended to contain any accidents while in the pool and are most effective when worn without a nappy underneath, as wearing one can affect the fit and function.
If you'd like help finding a more suitable option for your grandson’s needs, we’d be very happy to advise, just get in touch with our team. Thank you again for supporting Fledglings and for raising an important point that may help other families too.
Kind Regards Sophie
I have two children with severe learning disabilities and both of them have massively benefited from these swim pants because they are so comfy, secure and easy to clean. They reduce the rubbish from swim nappies which are often so unhygienic, and with good care these swim nappies last as long as a year or two even with regular use.
I think they are a complete game changer especially for holidays and lightweight swimming bags.
Hello Sophy,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your lovely review. We're absolutely delighted to hear that the swim pants have made such a positive difference for your children, especially in terms of comfort, security, and ease of use.
It means a lot to know that they've helped reduce waste and made swimming and holidays a bit easier for your family. Your feedback is a wonderful reminder of why we do what we do to support children with additional needs and help families access simple, effective solutions.
Thank you again for your kind words and continued support!
Kind Regards
Sophie

Tried these on holiday a few weeks ago and unfortunately they let water in and were totally useless waste of money
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for taking time to review our product. I am sorry to hear you were unhappy with the item when on holiday and just wanted to let you know that no incontinence swimwear product from any of our suppliers will state that their product is waterproof to prevent water from entering or leaving the garment. This is not physically possible. The purpose of the pool preventer pants it to help prevent the leakage of solid bowel movements. Any loose liquid stools or urine it cannot guarantee that this will be kept within the incontinence swimwear product. Any garment that enters the water will have liquid travel through the fabric.
If we can help with your search for incontinence swimwear or anything else and if you have any questions about a garment please do not hesitate to contact us and we would be happy to help find something that would be suitable for your needs. We are here to help support families to find practical solutions to make everyday a little easier and are sorry to hear you were unhappy with the item.
Best Regards
Sophie
