Silver Lining is a new reusable waterproof pant by Splash About. Approved by swim schools as a double nappy requirement, it fits snugly under the brand’s range of Happy Nappy products. It also works under regular baby swim costumes, swim-shorts or wetsuits.

Commenting is Lesley Beach, Splash About’s Director of Finance and Operations. “The Silver Lining originally launched integrated inside our Happy Nappy DUO swim nappy. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response that the DUO received from parents and swim schools alike, we decided to launch the Silver Lining as a standalone product.

“Baby swim schools insist on a double layer of protection in the pool. Our reusable Silver Lining can replace disposables and is worn underneath our existing range of Happy Nappy products or paired with our Splash Jammers for potty training toddlers.”

The Silver Lining is the result of four years of scientific development and intensive testing.

It is lightweight, soft and soothing on a baby’s skin. The anti-bacterial liner, meanwhile, holds and traps any faecal matter. The silver particles destroy bacteria or viruses present that chlorine alone cannot easily kill. This includes E.coli and Cryptosporidium. It is also highly effective against other viruses such as Covid.

Bernadette Spofforth, MD of Splash About, adds; “With the average baby using 5,000 disposable nappies compared to only 16 reusable ones, choosing a reusable swim nappy is an obvious choice. Not only because it reduces household waste but it also means fewer nappies going to landfill, where they can take up to 500 years to decompose.”

The Silver Lining is suitable for babies from birth up to 3 years. For further information on Splash About, please click here.
