I love wool.

I love dry sheets in the morning.

Many of you would also love to have dry sheets in the morning but are intimidated by wool.

Don’t be!

responsiblemotherI have the perfect recommendation for you.  A wool cover that is super easy to care for, snaps on like your other covers, trim and bulletproof.

Responsible Mother is a company out of Lithuania.  You know, that country in eastern Europe north of Belarus and Poland.  Capital is Vilnius.  Yep, that one.

I’ve been blessed to discover many great European companies over the last several months, primarily thanks to my love of woven wraps.

Let me introduce you to the sweet Justina before I tell you more about her fabulous wool covers.

 

We are a family growing two small children (3 year-old Dominykas and 1  year-old Matas). Over the first pregnancy we already knew and believed that we will bring up our children healthily. Ecology idea is very close to our way of living and we also think the person‘s lifestyle should not harm not only him but the environment as well.

While incubating the ideas into what we are going to diaper, how we will feed our baby, we decided to use cloth diapers, to dress in natural fibre clothes (wool, silk, cotton), to use only environmentally-friendly  household, washing, cosmetic items, also wooden toys or sewn on mother‘s own. This is how “responsible mother“ was born.

Cloth diapers for modern parents who think different! That was our slogan while in search for textile, modelling, and sewing products. In the beginning there were just small orders for acquaintance mothers, who wanted to grow their children healthily, but after receiving positive feedback and recommendations we started working at full length. We offer you cloth diapers  handmade with love and warmth in Lithuania.

Every product is made by ourselves, from cutting to sewing. We search for interesting, colorful and of course high quality fabrics in fabric shops and boutiques so we have a colorful collection of cloth diapers to offer.

Shipping time to USA is about 10 days. One shipment was done in 6 another in 12 days.

Our products prices are very competitive, it ranges from 10USD for cotton cloth diaper and 15USD for bamboo or hemp cloth diaper. We have prepared practical and inexpensive cloth diaper sets sewn from cotton cloth (5pieces cloth diapers with inserts and moisture repelling panties as a present) such set price is 60USD. Also we have very popular wool covers with snaps for 18USD, customers are happy with this product very much.

Responsible Mother was gracious to send me a wool cover with snaps to try and is going to give one away to one of you!

A snapping wool cover has a couple of benefits over a pull up wool cover.

  1. Can easily be worn under regular clothing.
  2. No poop down the leg if diaper is compromised.
  3. More adjustable/wider size range

Lanolizing does not have to be a difficult process.  I suggest buying a spray lanolin (Scarlet’s Naturals Lanolin Spray is an excellent choice) and spraying it on the inside of the cover.  Easy peasy.

I’d only make one tiny change to the cover, add an 1″ to the crotch width.  I can use the Responsible Mother cover over big hybrid fitteds but it doesn’t fully encompass the diaper and making contact with the thigh.

That said I still never had any leaks.

I also highly recommend the Merino Wool blanket.  It is so soft and works great as a mattress protector! I wish I wouldn’t have left ours in Texas because Camden has leaks all the time! (obviously I haven’t been using my Responsible Mother wool cover *sigh*)

I have thoroughly enjoyed my interaction with Justina and I know you will be pleased with any purchases made from Responsible Mother.

  113. I loved my wool longies during the day, and I have a couple of covers that I have used overnight- what I really like is the coverage and the soft legs/waist. But my problem was that although everything was dry in the morning, pajamas and sometimes sheet had that horrible ammonia odor (granted the problem is more with my fitteds, but the PUL covers did keep the smell in).

    Reply

  115. I use wool covers that I make from old wool sweaters and it is the only way she doesn’t leak. I would like to start using them more!

    Reply

  117. I would really like to try wool, but have not gotten the chance. Our budget is tight, so I just have prefolds and covers right now. I am hoping to get my daughter a fitted nighttime hybrid for Christmas.

    Reply

  119. I want to love wool too, but the one cover I have just doesn’t work even after lanolizing 3 times. I am sure I am doing it right. It was an upcycled cover bought on etsy, so maybe the sweater that was upcycled wasn’t 100% wool? I just can’t get it!!! I am having trouble avoiding wet sheets too, so this would be amazing!

  121. We have never used wool but I sooooo want to try it out. I really ike responsible mother-we have two diapers and just looove them.

    Reply

  122. I’m a little intimidated by wool, feeling it may be more time-consuming for me, but I’d love to try. PLanning to make some of my own covers, upcycling, but where to find the time?

    Reply

  123. I am in the process of making a few wool covers now. So far, I have only have 1 cover and I need to re-lanolize it, but I do love wool and will use it more during the coming winter.

    Reply

  126. I used wool with my now almost 6 year old and loved it but her wool covers are still too big for my 8 month old. I’ve been wanting to get some for my LO who leaks ALL the time but haven’t been able to decide on what to get. I think this might be my answer! Thanks so much for this review!

  127. I use wool and love it! I’ve never tried a wool cover that works like a traditional cover, only the pull-on covers. We don’t have leaks, it’s amazing.

    Reply

  130. I really like using wool. I love the breathability and the natural benefits of it! I love how it cleans itself…I think that is so cool!
    I have only tried a handful of wool covers but would love to try more! I’ve been pleased with wool in the past. Would REALLY love to have some nice longies some day! :D

  134. I have been cloth diapering for 3 years and still haven’t found a nighttime solution for my heavy wetters. I have tried wool crocheted covers and with enough absorbency underneath these kids look like they have another person inside their pants and STILLLLL LEAK!! That being said, I would LOVE to try this cover and it seems fairly reasonably priced as well. I want to love wool sooo badly, but just have not found the right wool or I am doing something wrong.

  142. I just started using wool and LOVE IT! I’m hooked! I’d like to switch my whole stash over to flats, Prefolds and fitteds with wool.

  167. I have used wool covers and I love them. I have a new grand daughter Who is cloth diapered also. If I win this wool cover it will go to her.

    Reply

  169. Never tried wool & am interested in it! I changed wet sheets 5x last week alone!!! And this is for a partially potty-trained child who goes in the toilet multiple times before bed- he is such a heavy wetter!

    Reply

  172. I hope I win. We have gotten away from cloth recently due to a hectic schedule with my older daughter. Plus, we’ve been having leaks, probably due to the fact that my younger daughter is growing & taking in more liquids, thus wetting more at once. Fingers crossed! I’ve been wanting a wool cover, but intimidated by the cost of most of them.

  174. I’ve never used wool for a diaper but my husband uses the merino wool for hunting it is amazing stuff! I can’t wait to try merino on baby #3!

  188. I’ve bought responsible mother’s wool covers that look like panties and their hybrid fitted and I l’ve them. Never had a leak and was super easy to lanolized. I stumbled pin her website and have been thinking of ordering more. Love!

    Reply

  189. I haven’t, but I plan to! I only wear natural fibers, myself, and can’t really get behind using PUL covers, as awesome as they sound. Wool seems like the perfect option, for us.

    Reply

  191. I love wool and need more wool in XL sizes as my 18 months old DD is now 30 lbs and 34 inches tall. Thankfully Potty training is around the corner but not here yet. We use wool at night primarily. Wish I could have more but the price is always holding me back.
