Made from 100% pure Australian wool with soft woollen rib binding, Baby BeeHinds Wool Diaper Covers are designed for use over our Baby BeeHinds Hemp Fitted Diapers, or your favorite prefold (that you may already use). Baby BeeHinds Wool Covers offer a natural alternative to PUL and are particularly popular due to their unbeatable breathability- keeping baby cooler and drier, for longer.
Made from 100% woolen fabric, with a double layer in the 'wet zone' to provide protection from leaks while maintaining the highest degree of breathability. Baby BeeHinds Wool Covers are popular for their easy to use Velcro wrap closure, low-rise trim fit and cheerful colors.
Wool is so popular because it is the MOST breathable natural fiber for baby to wear. It is useful over cloth diapers because moisture from within the diaper is evaporated through the wool fibers. This in turn helps to keep baby drier, which is obviously more comfy for everyone. When 'lanolized' any urine in the wool fabric is neutralized as it evaporates.
Features: 100% Australian wool with a double layer in the Wet Zone. Elasticized and bound in wool ribbing around the leg and back to provide a good 'seal' over the diaper, without irritating baby's delicate skin. Superior High-Tech velcro means no rub marks on baby's tummy, longer lasting grip and no curling of the tabs- to keep them looking nicer, longer.
Color Options: Natural, Truest Blue, Pink Intensity, Orange Burst.
When you change your baby's diaper, hang the wool cover to air dry until you next need to use it again (it is best to alternate between covers when using wool). The lanolin in the wool neutralizes the urine, meaning your cover is self-cleaning. You only need to wash your cover if it becomes soiled, stinky or dirty, or when it requires re-lanolising. If your baby is a heavy wetter with very strong urine, you will probably need to lanolise more regularly. We recommend lanolising Baby BeeHinds Wool Covers about once every two weeks, or as needed.
Wool covers require some extra care. In order for your wool cover to perform its best, it needs to be 'lanolised'. Lanolin is the natural oil found in wool that helps to keep sheep dry in the rain. The wool needs to have this lanolin replenished every couple of weeks to maintain its leak proof abilities.
Lanolising is actually a very easy process!
- Simply fill a bucket or sink with about 1-2 inches of very hot water.
- Add a pea-sized amount of pure lanolin and mix to melt and disperse.
- Once the lanolin is melted and evenly dispersed throughout the hot water, add enough cold water to make it cool then submerge your cover and leave to soak for a couple of hours. It does not matter if it is left longer - some people choose to soak overnight.
- When you are ready to remove the cover, do not rinse it, just squeeze out the excess water by hand. Following this, roll your cover up in a towel to remove as much moisture as possible.
- Hang your cover in the shade to dry.
Baby BeeHinds wool covers are fully machine washable, on the gentle cycle in cold water, inside a laundry or delicates bag. Make sure you attach the Velcro to the washing tabs inside the cover so that it does not catch on other items in the wash or on its own binding. Make sure you only use cold water to wash in (you could wash them in with your clothes). If you prefer, you may choose to wash by hand in cool water using soap flakes or wool wash (ideal). These are nice and gentle on the natural fibers of the wool. Once it is clean, rinse well under cool water, lanolise, and then hang in the shade to dry. Do not soak your wool covers in whitening or soaking solutions.
All reusable diapers, covers and inserts are final sale
Why We Like This
As you know, we take our job here very seriously. It's important that we maintain the integrity of SproutBaby.com by only offering products that meet our rigerous standards and those set forth by Healthy Child Healthy World. For cloth diapering systems, this has proven to be a challenge since most covers contain PUL (polyurethane) which makes them waterproof. We are thrilled to be able to offer you a cover that does not contain PUL, that protects from wetness and is self-cleaning! |
