Disana - Organic Merino Wool Diaper Cover



Your Price: $23.95 (free shipping!)

Email a Friend | Need Help?

Disana wool is so beautiful! Disana wool often works even for people with sensitivities to other wool. Made of soft organic pure wool, the overpants hold all excess wetness within the inner fibres if the wool. Elasticated ribbing round the legs and waist provide a comfortable yet secure fit.  Because of the self-cleansing properties of wool, the pants only require washing if they become soiled or less watertight. When merely damp, the woollen overpants clean themselves by being dried in the air.

 

Along with environmental consciousness has come interest in some amazing qualities of wool. Wool is one of the best fibers for wicking away moisture that you can use. As it absorbs moisture, it carries it away from the skin, and provides insulation against both cold and heat, which makes it not only comfortable but also less likely to foster conditions for diaper or other rashes. Wool knits are also stretchy, soil resistant, and anti-bacterial; plus, the lanolin contained in wool can provide some water repellency. All of these factors combine to make knitted wool diaper covers (or “soakers”) once again popular with many young families.

Customer reviews of the Disana Pull-On Cover:
"We have the Disana pull ups (newborn and next size). I love them and they are very thick. They are soft and they come very flexy but shrink down into a compact and thick cover."

 

Size 62-68,   Newborn, 6 - 13 pounds, 0-3 month

Size 74-80,   Small, 11 - 18 pounds, 3-9 month

Size 86-92,   Medium, 17 - 26 pounds, 10-18 month

Size 98-104, Large 21 -35 pounds 2 - 3 years

Size 110-116, X Large 30 - 40 pounds 3 + years

You can partially felt the Disana diaper covers (optional) First try the cover on the baby to be sure you have an inch so to work with in the rise. Felting the cover means the wool fibers pull together and shrink the cover, but luckily you can stop the shrinking at any point by simply removing the cover from the dryer.  Wash the cover in a sink of warm water with a lanolin shampoo and then squeeze it out a little to the point where it's not dripping too much.  Put the damp cover in the dryer on hot temperature with a dry cotton bed sheet (any size) and check on it every few minutes until it's the size you want (usually about 10-20 minutes).  Wool gets even softer and more fluffy feeling with the felting also, which is a nice bonus!  These are merino wool so they are soft even before felting.

These covers provide a watertight outer covering for the diaper. Made from soft, pure sheep's wool, it absorbs without itself ever becoming wet.

Care of Wool
Caring for wool is very different from cotton. Wool fibers originate from animals, which have a structure very similar to human hair. Their delicate nature makes them sensitive to heat and excessive wear and tear. For this reason, products made out of wool must be hand-washed. Pure wool contains high natural oil content, called lanolin. It protects the wool from soiling. Thus, our wool diaper covers do not have to be washed after each use. If a cover is damp, it often suffices to hang it out to dry on a clothes line. However, if a wool item requires washing, it must be handled with care. The best way is to use a wash basin filled with lukewarm water no hotter than 77�F (25�C). Use a mild soap, for example our disana wool shampoo. Place the items in the water and gently swish and swirl, making sure not to rub the material together. Directly after washing rinse thoroughly in a basin filled with clean lukewarm water.  Then squeeze out excess water and air dry. Do not place in the sun or on heaters.

5 out of 5 stars No leaks for the first time in along time 08/03/2010
Reviewer: Allison Farrens (allisonfarrens@gmail.com) from Aurora, CO US
I generally use pocket diapers during the day on my 19 month old. I have had an overall good experience except for some leaking at the leg at night(1 microfiber insert, 1 hemp insert). I had been reading about the wonders of wool and decided to try it. The first two nights have been a success with a fitted diaper and Disana cover. No wet sheets and clothes, no stinky baby. I couldn't be more pleased.

5 out of 5 stars I use only wool covers and I LOVE Disana 06/21/2010
Reviewer: Kimberly Racic (kimberly.racic@pureindium.com) from Zadar, N/a HR
I've had my daughter in Disana wool from day one (now she's 7 months old and in size mediums). I'm actually on this site to buy the next sizes. I learned that you need to take some care with them while washing - I would say, more care in handling them than other wool that I own to guard against felting - but they are far and away my favorites and so I don't mind.

5 out of 5 stars very nice! 04/04/2010
Reviewer: A viewer from austin, US
soo soft & stretchy! Very comfy cover for my son! I really like that there is a lot of coverage...some of our wool covers don't cover the waistline of the diaper, allowing it to stick out & get clothing wet- but this has a large waistband
