If you use wool come in...

Who do you recommend to buy soakers/shorties/longies from?  And post what you love/hate about wool.  And your care routine.  I need the recs, but would also like to help anyone who needs more info on wool as well.

I have sbish and monkeysnuggles. I like both, but I love the sbish. I reach for it all the time and the MS hardly ever. I'm a fan of interlock, not knitted wool.

I use a routine Glad told me about. I take a pea sized amt of lanolin and heat it in a mason jar. Add a little baby wash (CA Baby) and hot water and shake, shake, shake. I then add that to a sink full of tepid water. Then, I add the woolies and work the wash through them. I sometimes add a little extra lanolin to the "wet zones". I let them soak for about an hour. Then I drain, squeeze out excess water, roll them in a towel, and hang to dry. We only wear wool a few times per week. I only wash when they get dirty.

well it isn't any secret what I like.

I wash it in the washer on handwash?

Love wool.  As for recommendations, I have an aristocrats soaker for nighttime, which I LOVE (well worth the $$), a monkey snuggles soaker for daytime, shorties from happybumbaby for lightweight daytime (summertime), and a pair of longies I got for free from a nestie.  I love all my wool.  I have only had leaks once or twice, but I think that was more of the diaper that he was wearing. I haven't tried any interlock. (both monkeysungglesdiaper and happybumbaby are on etsy, and both reasonably priced).

My routine is pretty much the same as babyluv.

I've made most of my wool...but I've started buying some too.  I like monkeysnuggles but they stretch out badly, and didn't go back to their original size.  I have found my crocheted ones don't stretch like that.  They don't have as much stretch overall, but I have still been using the same soaker for months now. 

I just got my first interlock today and like it's texture.  I ordered some Sbish too, so I will have a review shortly.  I have a couple of recycled sweater ones that are nice for daytime, but kinda thin for night. 

As for routine, it's the same as babyluv except I just put the lanolin in a waterproof container with hot hot water and a small amount of soap and shake.  I also put my wool in the washer for a spin cycle to get out the moisture...that cuts about a day off of drying usually.
