“ Great new product! My husband used another brand name overnight pull-up day and night for the past 2 years, which worked well but very expensive.

These swim pull-ups allow your or your loved ones to enjoy swimming again, without worrying about bowel leakage. Keep in mind that these do not absorb urine (only bowel incontinence) because they’re absent of the polymers that would typically soak up liquid. In other words, they won’t contain urine, but they will also never get soggy, baggy, or weighed down.
“Love them, would recommend to anyone. My little guy is happy again cause he can go swimming.” Jean
“Best swim protection product made!!” Linda
