I like to affectionately call these Asher's "woolly knickers" {not that I know what a "knicker" is}. Anyway, he's just shy of two years old and was consistently leaking through an overnight disposable diaper {we use cloth during the day}. So, I'd heard about these wool diaper covers and finally decided to try one.
After about two weeks of use, I give this cover a 10/10! This is Ecoposh's Wool Diaper Cover, size 2 {for toddlers 15-35 pounds}. The base price is $34.95, but if you need size 2 there's an extra $5 added. If you're like me, you'll consider this a little pricey. But for the heavy overnight wetter, it's worth every penny.
Here's the amazing thing- you really only need one per child, since it's 100% wool and the lanolin in wool naturally reacts with urine to create soap. {Who knew?!} So technically, no matter how much pee soaks into this thing, it's never dirty. Even after a little over a week's worth of use, it was smelling as clean as the day I got it.
A hand washing is recommended every one-two weeks, using either wool-safe detergent or baby shampoo. I used baby shampoo and did a very gentle wash in the bathroom sink, then rinsed it out and laid it flat to dry on a towel. {The tag says not to wring it out, but to lay a second towel on top and soak the excess water that way}. I followed those directions and drying time was about 24 hours {had to go one night without them}.
So, all in all a worthwhile purchase!
