Merino Wool Cover OS
Buy it with
Wool cover - 100% natural and delicate merino wool. One Size. Handmade in the EU.
The wool cover is sewn from 100% fine merino wool - the finest sheep's wool that is ideal for baby products. Wool cover is an outer part of a cloth diaper which is supposed to keep the moisture of absorbent insert inside the diaper.
When it's time to change the baby's nappy - we change the absorbent insert inside the diaper (or the fitted diaper), and we hang the wool cover for airing. It will be ready to use at the next diaper change.
Well- thought cut allows proper airflow in the diaper, and ensures that our wool cover will fit on any absorbent insert.
Puppi one-size diaper covers are made of two layers of extremely soft and thin wool. Colorful snaps and decorative stitching make this diaper a conversation piece. The leg elastics are soft yet very stretchy, which allows for a trim fit on virtually every child. Once lanolised, these covers hold moisture very effectively. Wool is an extremely versatile fabric for cloth diapering- it is breathable, temperature regulating (perfect for both cold and hot days), soft, and naturally antibacterial. Lanolin breaks down urine into salts and water, so it does not need to be washed as often as PUL diapers. Simply hang to dry between uses. However, a special washing and re-lanolising procedure is necessary on wash day.
We especially recommend PUPPI absorbent inserts for Puppi wool covers, but they can also be used with any absorbent inserts, cotton or flannel flat diapers and prefolds. For a baby up to 8 kg One Size wool covers will also fit PUPPI fitted diaper or any other fitteds with a similar, narrow crotch cut.
You may find that these covers look small when they arrive. But, fully stretched, they are the size as any other One Size cloth diaper. They are fairly narrow, so those who require many layers for night time may find that these are not the best night solution for them. If that is the case, the ‘One-Size Plus’ Puppi covers offer more width.
When it's a good idea to choose a SIO wool cover?
A SIO wool cover will be an ideal choice if:

Most babies need no more than 4 or 5 wool diaper covers for full time wool diapering.

Diapers in One Size are those, which most of children wear for the longest period of time. Many of kids don’t even need the bigger size as they start to use potty or toilet before they grow out of One Size diapers. However, “One size” doesn’t mean that this is the universal size. You can use it on baby that is around 6kg, but for child of this weight we definitely recommend smaller diapers in Mini One Size. One Size wool covers start to fit nicely on 8-9kg babies. For smaller children they might be uncomfortable because of too much material.
We recommend one size covers to use together with:
- Bamboo Tri-fold Insert in Mini and Maxi Size
- Extremely absorbent fold-over insert
- "Bio-terry" long insert
- "Cuddly&Snuggly" Anatomic insert (for babies untill around 11 kg)
- "Close to nature" bamboo/hemp insert
- Quick&Easy insert
- Bio-cotton "Bird Eye" flat diapers in size 70x70cm (27,6"x27.6") and 80x80cm (31.5"x31.5")
If you want to boost the absorbency, you can add hemp/bamboo mini booster or Hemp/Bamboo doubler.
Good to know: for babies with plump bellies we recommend wool covers with velcro type of closure, as they suit better on this figure type. Covers with velcro are also faster to fasten, when your baby is little runner.
