Baby BeeHinds Wool Cover

Made from 100% Australian Wool, our beautiful wool covers are the ultimate cover for your night nappy (but also great for day times). Wool is the perfect material for a night nappy cover due to its ability to hold wetness without feeling wet, and it's superior breathability. Wear over night time nappies or our Bamboo Fitted nappies with extra booster insert/s for extra dryness.

Our covers come in Small, Medium & Large, and are a stretchy, generous fit to ensure that the whole night nappy is covered. This is a pull-up style cover, which we know will become a valuable part of your night nappy system.

* Please note: You will need to wash & lanolise your new wool covers prior to using them as they are not lanolised when you receive them. Tips on wool care, read this great article http://www.babybeehinds.com.au/blog/index.php/night-nappies-its-not-that-scary 

Why Wool?
Wool Nappy Covers are an ideal choice for use over a night nappy, or when you know that your little one will be in their nappy for longer than normal (ie. long day sleepers, or a big car trip).  Our wool covers are made from 100% Aussie wool interlock and have an amazing stretch so that they will fit over even the bulkiest night nappy.  Soft and cuddly to the touch, these pull-up style covers are an ideal addition to your nappy stash.

Wool is highly absorbent, breathable and keeps temperatures fairly consistent.  Wool can absorb liquid up to 40% of its weight without feeling wet and is breathable even when damp, allowing air to circulate and prevent baby's bum from getting damp.  The perfect qualities for a night nappy cover!

Caring for your Wool Covers

Wool covers require some extra care, but don't worry, it's not difficult!

• BeeHinds wool covers only need washing every few weeks! (Providing they are not soiled and have been lanolised well enough).
• When you change your baby's nappy, hang the wool cover to air dry until you next need to use it again (it is best to alternate between covers when using wool). The lanolin in the wool neutralizes the urine, meaning your cover self-cleaning.
• You only need to wash your cover if it becomes soiled, stinky or dirty, or when it requires re- lanolising. If your baby is a heavy wetter with very strong urine, you will probably need to lanolise more regularly. We'd recommend lanolising about once per fortnight.
• Baby BeeHinds wool covers can be machine washed, on the gentle cycle, inside a laundry or delicates bag.
• Make sure you only wash in cold water using a gentle wool wash.
• If you prefer, you may choose to wash by hand in cool water using soap flakes or wool wash (ideal). These are nice and gentle on the natural fibers of the wool.
• Once clean, rinse well under cool water, lanolise, and then hang in the shade to dry.
• Do not soak your wool covers in whitening or soaking solutions
• Do not tumble dry
  
  

  In order for your wool cover to perform its best, it needs to be ' lanolised'. Lanolin is the natural oil found in wool that helps to keep sheep dry in the rain. The wool needs to have this lanolin replenished every couple of weeks to maintain its leak proof abilities. Don't stress, lanolising is pretty simple and only needs to be done every 2-4 weeks!

  The best product to use is 'Lansinoh', which is sold at chemists (commonly used to soothe sore nipples when breastfeeding). It is the purest form of lanolin available and is completely natural and hypoallergenic.

   

  • Simply fill a bucket or sink with about 5cm of very hot water, than add a pea-sized amount of pure lanolin and mix to melt and disperse.
  • Once the lanolin is melted and evenly dispersed throughout the hot water, add enough cold water to make it cool
  • Submerge your cover into the solution and squeeze the cover to distribute the lanolin into the fibres, then leave to soak for a couple of hours or overnight.
  • When you are ready to remove the cover, do not rinse it, just squeeze out the excess water by hand.
  • Roll your cover up in a towel to remove as much moisture as possible, and then lay flat in the shade to dry.
  • Re- lanolise every 2-4 weeks, or when the cover starts to get a bit stinky!
  
  

How to Measure the Rise – The rise measurement is the distance from the front waist through the crotch to the back waistline. To measure the rise for a nappy you should measure your baby or toddler over a nappy from the top of the nappy through the crotch to the back of the nappy (to top of elastics). To measure for a nappy measure your baby, without a nappy, from just below the belly button, or where the nappy would usually sit, through to the back waistline. You can use this to measure for fitted nappies, training pants, all-in-ones or pocket nappies.

How to Measure Waist – Waist measurements are measured at the natural waistline. When a nappy description gives an Xcm to Xcm measurement, the smallest measurement is with the nappy/training pant fastened on the smallest setting and the elastic relaxed. The largest measurement is with the nappy fastened on the largest setting and the elastic lightly stretched. How to Measure Legs – Measure diagonally from where the nappy or cover will sit on the outer thigh, through the inner thigh and back up. The settings apply as per waist measurements, smallest is with nappy or cover fastened on the smallest setting and largest on the largest setting. Firstly, check the weight range of your baby, then check the measurements from there. If you are still unsure about size, please contact us.
