Swimming can help people of all ages feel calmer, stronger and more confident. If you or someone you care for has incontinence or other additional needs, getting into the pool can feel a bit more complicated. You might worry about leaks or about what other people will think.

We created this Incontinence Swimwear Guide to keep things clear and practical. Our specially designed swimwear helps manage faecal incontinence in a discreet way so you can focus on enjoying the water instead of worrying about accidents.

We design incontinence swimwear for:

• Children and teenagers
• Men and women

Some pieces sit quietly under a normal swimming costume. Others look just like regular sporty swim shorts. All share one purpose: they help protect against faecal leaks entering the pool water.

Incontinence can feel like a huge barrier. But swimming often brings real physical and emotional benefits, so it is worth finding a way that works for you.

We design our incontinence swimwear for people who:

• Have faecal incontinence and want extra support in the pool
• Prefer swimwear that looks as close to standard swimwear as possible
• Need options for children, teenagers or adults

You will see four main styles in this guide:  

Each style offers a different look, but all aim to help keep faecal leaks out of the pool.  

Jammers are close fitting, sporty shorts for children and adults. At first glance they look like standard performance swim shorts. Inside, the design focuses on support for faecal incontinence.  

Jammers:

• Offer a snug yet comfortable fit
• Use neoprene with medical grade silicone around the thigh opening to create a gentle seal
• Have a discreet design and look like standard swim shorts
• Provide UPF 50+ sun protection
• Have a unisex design
• Come in children’s and adults’ sizes

You can choose Jammers if you want swimwear that blends in on the poolside but still gives you extra protection in the water.

Splash Shorts offer a more traditional incontinence short that you can wear under another costume. They suit older children and adults who want something simple that focuses on function first.  

Splash Shorts:

Are designed to help prevent faecal leaks entering the pool

• Use a single thickness of neoprene so you can wear them under a swimming costume without obvious bulk
• Have soft neoprene and snug ribs at the waist and legs to create a seal against leaks
• Come in adult and child sizes

So if you feel happier in a costume or pair of trunks you already own, you can wear Splash Shorts underneath for extra reassurance.

The Splash Costume combines the protection of Splash Shorts with a one piece ladies swimming costume. It suits women who want built in incontinence support rather than a separate short.  

The Splash Costume with skirt:

• Offers discreet incontinence support in and around the pool
• Has a feminine shape with moderate coverage and bust support
• Includes a classic skirt for extra coverage
• Provides UPF 50+ sun protection
• Uses fabric that resists chlorine
• Aims to feel comfortable and secure

If you prefer to step out of the changing room in one simple costume, this style gives you that option with hidden protection inside.

Splash Jammer Shorts are for men who want the look of regular swim shorts with incontinence support built in. On the outside they appear as standard polyester swim shorts. Inside, they contain an incontinence pant based on Splash Shorts.  

Splash Jammer Shorts:

• Offer high waist and thigh coverage
• Have a hidden Splash Shorts style incontinence pant inside
• Provide reliable protection from faecal leaks
• Remove the need for extra incontinence garments underneath

So you can move, play and relax in the pool in shorts that look familiar, with quiet support built in.

Choosing incontinence swimwear can feel quite personal. It may help to pause and ask yourself a few questions.

• Do you want your swimwear to look as close to standard swimwear as possible
• Would you rather wear incontinence support under a costume you already own
• Do you need a style for a child, a teenager or an adult
• Will you be swimming indoors, outdoors or both

Use this Incontinence Swimwear Guide to narrow down your options. Then think about which style matches the swimmer’s needs and confidence best.

And remember: you deserve to enjoy the water. The right incontinence swimwear simply gives you one less thing to worry about when you get in.
