Whatever did I do to deserve this?!

I care for them properly, I swear! I've only had them for 4mos-tops! The wool is fine, it's just the gussets that are hole-y (?).

They're on both sides of the gussets, and I'm clueless as to why.

I use them in rotation with 6 other wool covers, and 7 pul covers, but these are my 'workhorse' covers-always cute, and always reliable. I feel like someone died


I recall the posts about the gussets on the dipes doing this, and thought I'd be okay because I only use the bombs. (ha!) This happen to anyone else's fuzbombs?

My blue skies wool in one did that. I had a very similar cover stash to yours at the time and had only used it, like you, about 3-4 months, if that. To say I was miffed would be an understatement. There were two tiny holes forming on the inside of one leg along where the elastic is. Yes, you had to stretch out the cover and really look to see them, but I knew they were only gonna get worse with wear, b/c I buy dipes/covers to be used, not petted and looked at. I traded it off w/the dg contours b/c I knew I would be too scared to use it for fear of the holes growing.

Oh, I definitely made it clear that the holes were there when I traded, btw...don't want anyone thinking I was passing off junk!

I also had used fuz contour dipes with all the holes and binding issues. The other contours I had that I bought brand new never developed that in the time that I had them, nor did any of my other fuzbombs, but I didn't own them very long. I ended up getting rid of all my fuz. I do miss the bombs, b/c they perform really well and fit Ian well, but I can't have covers (or dipes) at those prices coming apart within 3 or 4 months and I was too scared to take a gamble and wait it out and see if the rest would fall apart or not.

So, there's my .02
to you! I feel your pain!

Have you contacted Lori about it? I've heard of 'wear' in the diapers, but missed the thread regarding holes in the wool covers. I have two that I rotate out regularly (Fuzbombs) and not a hole yet . . . we probably wash and re-lanolize once a month and you are right in the description of WORKHORSE!
