1. Yes, you have to fasten the prefold before putting the wool soaker on, because the soakers generally are not as snug fitting as a PUL wrap style cover.
2. Usually the instructions say to wash knitted wool in luke-warm water with a wool wash. Be careful not to agitate the wool too much when you're washing it, be gentle, or it will felt. If your wool wash does not contain lanolin, you will also need to lanolize your soakers every couple of washings.
3. If a soaker gets poo on it, it obviously needs to be washed right away. If not, I usually wash my soakers every 1.5-2 weeks. Some wash theirs more often. I think it depends on the size of your rotation and how often you use them.
4. Yep, they really don't leak! Amazing, isn't it? :LOL Wool has great absorption, and the lanolin helps keep it waterproof to a degree.
5. Nope, when wearing wool longies, those are the only diaper cover you need!
HTH!
