Swimmates swim brief
Water-resistant protection for incontinence
Swimmates is a disposable swim brief specially designed for people suffering from faecal incontinence, whether children or adults.
It allows you to enjoy water-based activities — swimming pools, the sea, swimming, water therapy, leisure — in comfort, with discretion and peace of mind.
Unlike conventional protection, Swimmates is designed for use in water and adapts to the demands of aquatic environments.
A solution for incontinence
The Swimmates swim brief is specially designed for people suffering from faecal incontinence, whether they are children, adults, the elderly or plus-size individuals. It allows users to fully enjoy aquatic activities, whether for leisure, rehabilitation or aquatic therapy, whilst ensuring comfort, discretion and effective protection against leaks. Unlike traditional pads, which swell and lose their effectiveness in water, Swimmates is designed for use in the pool and offers a solution suitable for all body types.
Worn under swimwear, this discreet, unisex disposable underwear features Kufguards® (anti-leak elastic bands inside the legs) and a moisture barrier to help manage faecal incontinence. Designed to minimise swelling, it does not swell or tear when wet.

This variety ensures optimal support and effective protection, without compromising on comfort or freedom of movement.

Further information on Swimmates swim briefs
What is the difference between a Swimmates swim brief and a standard brief?
Standard briefs are designed to absorb liquids in a dry environment. When submerged, they quickly absorb water, swell up, become heavy and lose all effectiveness. They are therefore not suitable for use in swimming pools or other aquatic environments.
Swimmates swim briefs, on the other hand, are specially designed for aquatic incontinence, whether in the pool or the sea. Their structure significantly limits water absorption, preventing swelling and ensuring a secure fit throughout the activity. They work primarily thanks to their anti-leak barriers at the thighs, designed to contain faecal incontinence in the water, whilst offering optimal freedom of movement.
Who is Swimmates recommended for?
The Swimmates swim brief is suitable for a wide range of users. It is used by children who are not yet toilet-trained as well as by adults suffering from faecal incontinence, whether temporary or chronic. It is also widely used in rehabilitation centres, care homes, nursing homes and facilities catering for people with disabilities.
Thanks to its wide range of sizes and secure fit, Swimmates allows everyone to continue enjoying water-based activities, whether swimming, aquatic therapy, leisure activities or visits to public swimming pools, without worrying about the consequences of faecal incontinence.
Can Swimmates be worn under a swimsuit?
Yes, Swimmates swim nappies are designed to be worn under a swimsuit. Their discreet design means they are virtually invisible once the swimsuit is on. This greatly enhances the wearer’s psychological comfort and encourages participation in group water activities, without drawing attention to the nappy.
Is Swimmates suitable for public swimming pools and care centres?
Yes, Swimmates is widely used in public swimming pools, rehabilitation centres, hospitals and specialist facilities. It is designed to meet the hygiene requirements of communal environments, whilst respecting the dignity of users.
For professionals, Swimmates offers a reliable solution for accommodating people with incontinence whilst maintaining optimal hygiene standards in the pools.
How to choose the right size of Swimmates swim brief?
Choosing the right size is essential to ensure effective protection against leaks and optimal comfort. Swimmates offers five different sizes, ranging from S to XXL, with precise correspondences for hip circumference and weight.
A correct fit ensures that the leak barriers work effectively and prevents the risk of leaks caused by a product that is too loose or too tight. We recommend referring to the size chart above to choose the protection best suited to the user’s body shape.
A waterproof incontinence solution designed for inclusion
Incontinence should never be a barrier to participating in aquatic activities. Swimming plays an important role in physical health, rehabilitation and mental wellbeing. By offering a tailored, comfortable and discreet solution, Swimmate helps ensure that everyone, regardless of age or health condition, can continue to access these essential activities.
