Diapers Q&A
what wool diaper covers & stuffings are slim enough to fit under reg. daytime clothes w/out blowout?
i'm new to cloth diapering and considering getting some imse vimse or baby beehinds wool wrap covers (because i dont' want to use PUL or anything with poly content on my wee love). i wondered about little beetle wool wraps too? i like the bummis super brite covers taht i have, but want to quit using them ASAP - - however - - the gussets work GREAT! which is why i started looking for slim wool covers with gussets. i have a couple knitted wool shorties & one longies (thanks to her grammas), but no wayyyy can i put clothes over them :( also - what slim style fitted diapers (or prefolds, or....??) do you use that work best under the trim wool wraps that still did a good daytime job (i cna use the knitted woolies at night)? i'm looking for unbleached, untreated or organic cottons, hemp or bamboo primarily. no synthetics though. thank you :)

- We have Muttaquin Baby shape fitted diapers (they look super tiny, but stretch to fit) and we use Sugar Peas Wool Flannel covers over with no problems. All our 15 month old baby's pants fit over that combination. She wears a medium long sized diaper and a medium sized cover. http://www.muttaqinbaby.com/catalog/zen-cart-v1.3.6-full-fileset-10272006/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_20&zenid=aabe8b78edf1545bab609cf613bae769 http://www.jamtots.com/Sugar-Peas-Wool-Flannel-Covers-C316.aspx We use this wool cover for nights too. The Babyshape diaper is not quite absorbent enough for nights all the time though. Sometimes they are really, really soaked in the morning. But we have never had a leak. Goodmama fitted diapers work very well at night, but they are bulkier than the Babyshapes. If you need a wool cover with gussets take a look at the Sckoon wool covers. I have one and it works well, but I find that it is much bulker, I think because of the gussets ... But it can be machine washed and I didn't ever have to lanolize it until I stripped it and dyed it orange! I think that the Sckoon cover is almost identical to the Imse Vimse ones though. http://www.sckoon.com/er-n69a000.html
