Wool??

[chely7425]

I have been scared to try wool for many reasons, the main one being that I am sensitive/allergic to lanolin. But I put a little lanolin on my kids the other day and they had no reaction to it so I think I might be ready to try wool for a night time diaper option. So... help me. I like the look of the Disana wool pull on covers? Seems like it would be a really good option for night time? How hard is it REALLY to care for? We would probably only be using it for naps and night time, during the day we usually go coverless or use fleece since it can just get thrown in the wash... so, wool users... convince me

Well...it works great and doesn't require that much extra treatment. If throwing it into the wash is important to you the Imse Vimse covers are washable (and awesome). You still have to air dry though.

I air dry everything so that isn't a huge issue... I am really looking for something for night time and my younger son is SO sensitive to thing being tight on his legs so I was thinking maybe the Disana cover would be good since it would be gentle on his legs? If you only use a cover for naps and over night how often would you say it has to be washed/lanolized?

Unless he gets poop on them I would say once a week or even ever other week, depending on how much he pees while sleeping.
I would go to hyena cart or etsy and look for recycled wool to start with you can find it 15-35 to start out and try with. Although that isn't going to be machine washable

I ended up ordering 2 Disana wool soakers... one for my 1 year old and one for my 2 year old. I figure I can just wash first thing in the morning and they should be dry by night. If I like it and it works for us I will order some more, they were like 25-ish each and I had a coupon for the store I ordered from
