Cloth Diapering

Wool question...

So, I get that wool is a really good cover for night time. BUT... what do you put under wool? I don't get it? Right now I have MF and Hemp inserts that I use in a pocket. How do they stay in there? I am confused!

Also, what is lanolizing?

Re: Wool question...

  • You typically put wool over fitteds or prefolds. Wool is another alternative to PUL covers

    As to how your inserts stay in the pocket, well, it's a pocket. The diaper is contoured so the inserts stay in there unless you physically remove them or they work their way out in the wash.

    Lanolizing is the process of applying lanolin to wool covers to make them more water resistant. Wool on a sheep has lanolin naturally on it, but it's usually stripped during processing.

    LOL! I should clarify... I know that I can use my inserts in my PUL pockets. BUT, can I use an insert in a wool cover? If so, how do they stay in the wool? Or do I have to use a PF with wool?

  • You would use a snappi'd prefold or a fitted in the wool, not just inserts.
