Breathable. Sustainable. Super Soft.
Made with super-soft, minimally processed Australian wool, the Kissaluv's Wool Lovers diaper covers are a perfect, natural and breathable alternative to PUL covers. Sourced from the belly of the sheep (not the top coat which yields stiffer yarn), Kissaluv's wool has extremely fine fiber which helps the cover repel moisture a lot better and reduces the need to lanolize.
- Ultra-fine merino wool with a cashmere feel
- Re-inforced panels in the "wetting zones" for added protection (great for overnights!)
- Super gentle and comfortable elastic around the legs aids containment
- No bleaching, anti-pilling or silicon coating treatments on the wool. Keeping wool in its natural state makes it a perfect choice for use as a diaper cover - it's highly absorbent while still being highly leak resistant!
- Minimum seams for a comfortable fit - perfect for overnight use!
Why Wool Covers?
Wool is natural fiber and is breathable. It lets the air circulate which can reduce diaper rash and keep babies cooler. Wool also is naturally anti-bacterial and has a built in ability to hold water.
Wash/Care
Caring for wool is really easy. It doesn’t retain odor and the covers can be used for 2-3 weeks between washes, unless soiled. Simply air-dry by turning inside out in between uses. You may lanolize before first use but it is not necessary.
Washing/drying: Simply soak the cover in cold water for 15 minutes with wool wash detergent (like Eucalan). Do not scrub or agitate. Lay flat to dry (after rolling in a towel and gently squeezing to remove excess water). For stain removal, lay flat in the sun.
Lanolizing: 'Lanolizing' refers to the waterproofing process. It is necessary to lanolize your wool covers occasionally to make them repellant to moisture. Pure lanolin is recommended for this purpose - we strongly recommend Lansinoh 100% pure lanolin cream. Simple, detailed instructions for lanolizing are provided with the purchase of any wool cover from Cozy Bums.
Storage
Before storing away, wash the cover thoroughly without lanolizing. Do not fold and put between clothes. Hang it or spread it on the top of other clothes. If WL is pressed for a long time, it may get a bit stiffer like other finer wools.

What to pair with your wool cover?
Basically, anything absorbent! A pinned or Snappi'd prefold or any fitted diaper would be perfect! Since most people use wool covers for overnight diapering, however, our best suggestions for wonderfully absorbent fitteds are the Bamboozle (a slim-fitting stretchy bamboo diaper) or the Bumboo (a very customizable and SOFT bamboo diaper).
