Works great as underwear for my 2.5 year old daughter. Even at this great price it's a bit pricey for undies. But dang it sure is cute as underwear. We will have to make do with one! If you own this cover hang on to it for once your babe is out of diapers.

Ordered one of these and need to get at least one and maybe two more. I LOVE THESE. We only exclusively used disana wool soakers before this which are also quite nice but they are SO bulky under clothes. On the other hand, these are incredibly thin and effective. I lanolized these thoroughly before using. I was surprised at how well they worked. Make sure to measure your baby when you get these to ensure your getting the proper size. Thank you LSO for another great product!

I have several wool covers and having a trim cover is a really nice addition. This is the trimmest wool cover that I have and I really do like it. I like that it is not bulky and that it is easier to put on my baby than other pull on covers because of how thin it is. I also love that it dries fast. On the other hand, since this cover is super thin (you can see through it) you have to lanolinize it several times before you first use it and have to to change your baby sooner than you would with other covers. I don't find this to be an issue since I usually change my baby as soon as he eliminates. My only complaints with this cover are that the area between the legs is not as wide as I would like and that my cover is already looking dingy after one month use. I only use this cover at home with no clothes over it and I can see that the cover does not always cover the diaper completely between the legs. I don't find it to be wide enough, but it does cover high rise diapers. Also, I found that the leg holes can be stretchy. If your baby has a poop explosion, I wouldn't count on this cover keeping it in. I don't use this cover if I am expecting my baby to poop. This isn't a cover you can size up so order the size that your baby is in. I almost sized up, but accidentally didn't and I am glad that I did not size up. Overall, I really do like this cover.

I ordered the size 6-12mo for my baby who is now in 6mo clothing. Fits great and I know he will be able to use them for quite a white. It's super cute I just love it on him. I lanolized it twice and it works great. I love it even better on him than I thought I would.

This cover is nice for when you're just around the house. I like to let my son get as much air as possible without him peeing all over the house and with prefolds or flats alone pee will trickle right through when he lets a bladder full go. This stops that. This cover does become damp very quickly and will leak through if you don't change your baby very frequently. It's very soft but it's uses are limited.

Super trim, great daytime cover. I put this over a sandys organic fitted. The only time we ever had any kind of leak in this cover is when he hit's the 2.5 hour mark and it's only a small wet spot on the front. Highly recommended!

i bought the 12-24 month size as a summer option for my 14 month old and it is huge! i don't think he will grow that much by summer. he's a pretty chunky baby, too! it's a beautiful diaper, though. should've gone with the 6-12.

The fit of these pants are so perfect. They are super soft and stretchy. I lano'd my nappies twice, but they still leaked. I'm now trying them again after lanolizing a third time. So we'll see how it goes now. I would do it five times if it means he can wear these!

I love how light and breathable this cover is. Perfect for daytime use. This seems like it is going to fit for a long time. It is very true to size also. I got the 6-12 month size for my 7 month old. He is very long and weighs 18 pounds but I can tell it will last for a long time. Definitely worth the money.

I purchased two of these for my 21/2 year old grandson and I am more than happy with them. I lanolized 3 times before use and they function great. I use them over a disani tie nappy with no leaks in the daytime, however I do change him often. Where were these when I had my own children using cloth diapers and a kleinheart cover. How I love this wool cover. I threw out my bummis pul pullups after using these. I just couldn't bring myself to put the bummis on him after using these wool covers. Disani soaker at bedtime but I love these for daytime use.

After watching ALL the Little Spruce Organics YouTube videos about organic/wool cloth diapering, I was sold. These nappy pants were among my first purchase for our stash. They wear like waterproof underwear, very breathable and slip on/off easily over our fitteds, prefolds, and flats. Cons are few but these definitely work best for trim fitting cloth diapers or flats/prefolds as the crotch will likely not provide enough coverage with too much added bulk (liners, inserts, etc), or just for hanging out at home (though we've ventured out on quick runs on a couple of occasions without much trouble). As some others have said, you will know when it is time for a diaper change with these (maybe the dampness will not be so apparent after lanolizing a few more times???) but really this is helpful as it ensures that I change our daughter sooner rather than later.

Had a hard time finding something thin, that is not too warm for our hot climate. This is it! Works for us even at night with the Disana Tie nappy and the BabyKicks Organic Premium Joey Bunz Doubler. Very easy to put on, because it is so stretchy. Quickly washed and dries fast.

My husband's fave for ease of use and how trim it is, mine for how breathable, clean and cool for our daughter all summer. Though we prefer it for daytime around the house not for naps, nighttime or long stretches in the car, in summer we use it a surprising amount even out and about. We got two so we'd have one to put on while the other was airing out between diaper changes. Changing a little more often not a problem; you can tell by touch when there's a need; no leaks, here; no rashes. Little Spruce customer service patiently helped us newbies sort out the proper size. Their youtube how-to wool diaper videos helped us make the shift to wool. We use Engel nappy pants over organic cotton fitteds (mother's ease style) or over organic cotton flats with snappi. Take care if using snappis that they don't catch on this thin wool. My husband had this problem a couple of times leading to a couple of small holes (easy to darn). We have lots of wool now and both LOVE, love, LOVE these diaper covers. Hands-down the easiest ones for my husband to take on and off -- he has been reaching for these all fall and now into the winter -- I had to hide them!

This cover is unlike any of my other wool covers. Its so super thin that it is very nice for hot days and feels very light. I've lanolized it 3 times and hope that it gets a bit more waterproof, as I can feel the dampness of the fitted when she wears this cover and is wet. But that's not a terrible thing to me, I just don't use this cover for long outings. Its an "around the house" kind of cover and its loose and easy to slip on and off, assisting in quicker diaper changes.

I am new to the wool diaper cover idea, and in spite of being a knitter and knowing wool's wonderful properties, and that wool soakers have long been in use...I still didn't fully believe these could work and be comfortable. Having tried them, I can vouch for their ability to stay dry and cool--certainly better than a PUL cover--I am very happy with this purchase and look forward to expanding our stash of woolens for all uses.

I have been using this for about a week, and here is what I think so far.
Pros:
1) very effective moisture barrier
2) trim
3) quick drying.
Cons: none that I can see yet.
It is surprising how well these covers work as they are so light and thin. I'll be honest, the first couple of times I used them I wasn't in love with them. That could be due to the fact that they maybe needed to be lanolized a few more times OR that I was using relatively new flats with them that hadn't reached full absorbency (I'm new here to the all-natural-fiber-CD-world and definitely stil learning). Either way, these little covers are definitely growing on me and I'd like to get one or two more. I'm glad I stuck it out.

when i got these they are thinner than i thought! as in pantyhose thin! i though oh my goodness what a joke... nope not a joke! lanolised and they DO work! and are sooo trim! i am in love! and they last a decent amount of time too with a good fitted/flat/prefold underneath! i am putting the smallest size (3 to 6 months) on my 8 week old prem baby (about the size of a newborn) and its baggy but it works! you have to try it! i love how soft her butt feels instead of thehard plastickyness pul feels like. i warn you though it is SCARILY thin so it takes a few days before you can 'trust' it.

When I first received this it was a lot thinner than I was expecting. I had recently just purchased and fell in love with the Disana Merino cover, which is a lot thicker. I wanted an alternative for day time wear. Although it is thin and not nearly as absorbent as the thick cover, it does the job. It is good for day use, not night time. But it does great of catching any preliminary leaks. Before I was changing onesies and clothes all day if I didn't change the diaper frequently enough. Now the cover catches it just enough to notice, but without having to change the whole outfit. And with its natural wool characteristics it still doesn't seem too wet to continue to use after a diaper change. Plus it still doesn't retain the smell, so frequent washes are not necessary. It is very soft, thin and breathable, doesn't even seem like wool.

Super soft, completely non-marking on my baby's sensitive skin...the legs and tummy bands and the softest and stretchiest from all the covers I tried. Perfect for my chunky legged babe.

So, I got the large size for my little guy. He's only 9 months old but wears 12months clothes and since he's so tall and his rise needs to be larger, I opted for the 12-24M. When I first got them, they seemed to be the same thickness as hose and after lanolizing, I thought it was impossible they could work as a diaper cover. WRONG! They do work. The only thing con: they were just way too big. So, I ordered the size smaller (6-12months). I actually put the smaller one over the larger one to get more coverage, and it works for errands and such, while still being super thin. At home, we just use one mostly. I think these are great. I recommend buying 2. They are very stretchy so for me sizing up DID not work at all, with the exception of getting the smaller one to keep the larger one on. But so far, it's been definitely worth it.

I bought these assuming they would need frequent changing, which I do anyways. After a good lanolizing they are so effective that they have become my favorite covers! They are light and soft, and even my picky husband prefers them to our other covers. It really takes more than one wetting before they become significantly damp to the touch so I now trust them not only for playtime but also naps and short car trips. I also worry less about the heat when my girl is wearing them, since I live in a very warm area. I went a size larger than I needed(86/92 instead of 74/80) and while loose they still work great and I know I will get a lot of use out of them before they are outgrown. So glad that I bought two- I hardly ever use my other covers now during the day(and the double knit covers are great for the rest of the time when I need something heavier). Highly recommended!

this is so nice,its amazing how thin it is and how much it absorbs. I love it because it is easy to put clothes on top on it,and it doesn't look bulky at all.
Posted by araceli on 11th Sep 2012
These are great for summer and work well when properly lanolized and you change your baby often. I is damp after each use but still protects clothes and I'm confident my son won't make a mess of people holding him with this on over his Fitteds. It is fitted around the waist but loose on the legs for my slim 6 month old boy.

Nice and thin for summer and works great. Love it so much.

I was looking for a light weight wool cover for daytime use and this cover definitely fits the bill. The need to change my 10 month more often if using a muslin wrap, but no so often if using a prefold or muslin with an insert! I bought the size 12-24 month, but with all the bulk it seems to be the right size for my 10mo and she can grow into it.

We absolutely love this cover! It is a must have for a hot summer days. It is so thin but yet it does such an amazing job at protecting clothes from wetness. Make sure you lanolize it properly before using. Even on hottest days my son's bottom is cool to touch when I change him because this cover is so breathable. It does get slightly damp by the time I change the diaper, so I have two covers on hand and alternate them. And since it dries so fast I have a dry cover at each diaper change. I highly recommend it. And the customer service at Little Spruce is awesome, they help you with any question you might have about the product and measurements.

This cover is super cute, soft, breathable and still works even being soo thin. I just make sure to change him frequently because of it being thin.This cover is perfect for those hot summer days and is super trim under clothes. I can tell my son loves being in it. he's going to have plenty of growing space with this one and will be able to enjoy it for good while. You need this cover in your wool stash hands down. Oh and did I mention its soft!!!!

I really, really love these wool diaper covers. I think I love them especially because I used plastic for so long before discovering them! They are so soft and have taken all the plasticy, 'hard' bulk away from the cloth diaper. I didn't even realize how much bulk was caused by the plastic cover. When I'm out I don't feel like I have to explain why her little butt is so big anymore! at first I was concerned that they would work fine for pee but not for poop. Sorry for the gory details, but hey, they're diaper covers, so I gotta talk about it. Luckily I was wrong! But probably the #1 reason I love them is because they are BREATHABLE. My little girl didn't get too many diaper rashes with the cloth/plastic combo, but now we're down to zero. No more worries about trying to keep her plastic cover off for a bit each day (a task that was much easier and cleaner when she was too little to crawl all over the house in like 5 seconds). She wears them all the time and I LOVE them, LOVE them, LOVE THEM! Also, we have used Charlie's Soap to wash our cloth diapers always, and what do you know, you can use it to wash the wool covers. I'm seriously in love!
