I knew you weren't "supposed" to put your kid in regular diapers and stick her in the pool... I just didn't know you weren't SUPPOSED to, really. I thought, "They're so expensive and we're never even down there long enough for her to really get some use of the Swimmers diaper. I'll just cheat this one time; no one will ever know."
1/2 hour later: We're home from the pool. I take off Makenna's swimsuit. She has white gel crystals covering her body. Her diaper is busted wide open and weighs as much as her, easily.
Lesson learned... they're expensive because they work. Next time, my daughter will wear the Swimmers.
The ironic thing is that I went to an Elementary Teacher Science Seminar a few years back and we actually did this experiment/demonstration. I guess I didn't keep the notes.

This is something I see myself doing. Thanks for the headsup. Just a few days ago Wendy said, "You know babies have to swim in special diapers?" I replied, "Naah, that's just what they tell you."
I know, I know, I should listen to my wife.
What were the white crystals?
