I’m a mom – my used diaper tip saves money, people either think it’s gross or genius
THE summer can be an expensive time for parents of young children who require swim diapers.
Instead of throwing out your child’s swim diaper at the end of a long day of splashing around the pool, this TikTok mom has a suggestion.
TikTok user Lauren Clutter posted a video explaining how she saves money on swim diapers.
“Did you know you can actually just wash and dry (a swim diaper) if it doesn’t have poop in it?” Lauren asked her followers.
“All you have to do is throw into into the washing machine, on a normal cycle, with other things like towels,” she continued.
Lauren then suggests putting the washed swim diaper in the dryer to get it “nice and dry.”

In her tutorial, Lauren concluded: “Alright, the dryer is all done and as you can see the swim diaper is as good as new, and ready to use again.”
In her video, Lauren also explained why this hack isn’t as disgusting as washing a regular used diaper.
“We all know swim diapers are just glorified poop catchers, they don’t contain pee,” she said.
Lauren’s followers took to the comments section to debate if the idea was a money-saving hack or an unhygienic move.
