Forget your preconceived notions of wool as a hot, scratchy material! Wool is one of your best friends for overnight diapering purposes. Made of especially fine, soft merino wool, these woollen overpants are wonderfully soft and breathable. The high knitted waistband and long legbands will makes night-time diaper leaks a thing of the past.
Although these types of covers are commonly referred to as "soakers", that doesn't mean that they wick moisure from the prefold or fitted diaper you use underneath. The wool must first be lanolized (an easy process) to waterproof it. Excess wetness from the diaper will then bind with the lanolin, which neutralizes the urine. The wool will simply need to be aired out after use and occasionally re-lanolized (every month or so). It's hard to believe, but it never smells due to the natural self-cleaning function of the wool fibers. Due to the stretchiness of the wool, the sizes overlap a bit.
