Two Cool Things I Learned While Using Wild Coconut Wear Wool!

Scared of wool? You shouldn’t be! It is one of the great natural fiber products that is available for cloth diapering and beyond! I LOVE wool…shorties, longies, soakers and now Weggings! OH MY! Seriously, wool needn’t be scary. It really is easy to use and wash once you know how. It’s not scratchy or too hot, I promise (I will explain in a bit).

WCW1

First cool thing I learned…

Spray Lanolin makes my life easier and is amazing!

You don’t have to lanolize wool often and it’s not hard to do. Click here for full directions on how to wash and prep wool. But Wild Coconut Wear’s Spray Lanolin makes it even easier and this stuff smells amazing! (There is an unscented version available as well, I’m just a scent junky.)

Here’s what you do: You just wash your wool, which is basically a soak in luke warm water and some wool wash or if the piece is sturdy and you trust your washer, you can use the hand wash cycle on your washing machine. Instead of having to soak in lanolin, just use the spray and spray onto the wet zone and gently massage into wool and let it dry. That’s it! So easy. It really simplifies things if you use wool a lot, I can’t believe I went two years without ever trying it!

Second cool thing I learned…

Wild Coconut Wear Short Weggings rock!

I’ve used a lot of different kinds of wool, but never something in this style. Basically, it’s a standard soaker body with skinny cut legs, kind of like bike shorts. I had problems with other standard soakers rubbing my daughter’s thighs. She would sometimes wake up with a red looking friction rash from it happening. I was a little skeptical of these at first, but once Sophia started wearing them, Short Weggings totally solved our leg rash problem. These end lower on her leg, slightly above her knees when worn over her night diaper and look more like capri’s over her day diaper. Great to wear on summer nights!

My Wild Coconut Wear Weggings are super well-made and were totally bullet proof at night. Don’t be afraid to put these on a boy either. Skinny jeans on men are in now too, right? Lol

I did recieve lanlolin, wool wash and Short Weggings free of charge from Wild Coconut Wear to review. However, all statements made here are my honest and true opinion.

If you have trouble with synthetic fabrics or have a heavy wetter, wool is a great option for you. I talked a lot about wool in my cloth diapering at night series. Here are two things I discussed that often scare people away from wool.

MYTH: Wool is hot! I can’t use it in the summer! TRUTH: Wool is actually one of the coolest fabrics you can put on your baby. TPU/PUL covers will keep heat and moisture next to the skin and will just make things hotter!

Unlike synthetic fabrics, wool breaths. (Making it cooler than any PUL/TPU cover you could use.) This means that it will actually pull moisture away from the body and evaporate it. Think about how a fan works. The fan is not actually cooling the temperature of a room, instead it works by blowing air across the skin and evaporating sweat. The more sweat is evaporated the cooler you feel. Wool evaporates moisture, the more evaporated, the cooler the bum.

*SUPER HEAVY WETTER TIP* If you want an even drier bum in the morning, leave the pj’s off and the wool uncovered! Let the air get to it. It will be able to evaporate moisture more effectively and therefor keep things even drier. If you still want little one’s skin covered use wool shorties in the summer or wool longies in the winter or in an air conditioned room.

MYTH: Wool has to be babied and it costs a lot! TRUTH: As long as you don’t put wool in the dryer, it’s pretty hard to hurt. It only needs to be washed every few weeks to a month. Wool is naturally antimicrobial. The lanolin on it will react with the urine as it air dries and actually neutralize it. It will continue to do this until all the lanolin is used up, that’s the point the cover starts to smell even when it is dry. You might also notice that it starts to not be as waterproof at this point. That is how you know it’s time to clean and lanolize.

I really do love using wool with cloth diapers. I love supporting these small businesses like Wild Coconut Wear that make it. Remember, wool isn’t scary. If you need help with it, let us know!

    I use wool and I love my interlock! Wool stretches to fit your baby and there are so many lanolin options from the traditional lano baths (great for heavy wetters and overnights), to spray lano (perfect for touch ups and light wetters), to lano wash (just the right amount for light wetters), and even dry lano rubs (a happy medium between the heavy lano wash and the lighter options). Love my woollies =))

I love that wool is easy to care for ( only have to wash every 2 weeks) & it is anti microbial , so the wool that actually sanitizes itself :).

    I have a super heavy wetter and we’ve been through every combo/type of cloth for overnight. I have several friends who tell me that wool is our best option and will “definitely work” though I’ve heard the same thing about the other combos we’ve tried! I have a hard time swallowing the price for something that may not work. :-/ I’ve heard, but it may or may not be true, that when wool is lanolized properly that it doesn’t hold the ammonia smell… is that true? is it because of its antimicrobial nature?

    Reply
    • Jennifer Reinhardt says

      September 1, 2014 at 3:26 pm

      After a use if it is wet, let it dry. If it still smells like pee, you need to wash and re lanolize. If it dries and smells good, you just continue to use. That is because of the lanolin in addition to the antimicrobial properties.

    Just bought my first wool cover for my son thanks to your encouragement! Now I’m going to buy some weggings for my 6 month old daughter! Checking out the Wild Coconut wear site right now! I’ve heard it is great for a heavy wetter & my son is 2 1/2, has been daytime potty trained since 25 months, but still wakes up many mornings SOAKED from knees to chest with a Flip cover and prefold with booster inserts. So sick of the extra laundry & the fact that he wakes up extra early on the days he is soaked. I hope wool with a fitted is our trick (& I pray he lets me put it on him…getting a diaper on a potty trained toddler is a nightmare! But a must for overnight for us right now!).

    I would LOVE to see a blog post about the options for diapers to wear under wool. Are fitteds my only option?? If I’ve missed it, please post a link!

      You could also use prefolds or flats fastened with a snappie or boingo. If you use inserts they will shift around under the cover and bunch.

    I use wool covers over flats for reenacting in summer, and they work GREAT in hot weather!!! It’s the only thing that keeps Jr. cool in the really big heat (like 150th Gettysburg, over 100°F, or 150th Spotsylvania, in the high 80°s & 90°s)–without a heat rash. TPU & PUL just couldn’t match it.

    I’ve heard great things about wool and certainly have a heavy wetter. I haven’t been brave enough to try it though. If I won this drawing it would be fun to see just how awesome it is for my daughter. She can’t handle synthetic fibers inside her diapers, so this is just one more reason that wool might be a good option for us.

    I’ve heard there isn’t heat build up but I remain skeptical until I can use and speak from experience. I thought the lanolin was oily and this creating buildup for heat and moisture to not be able to pass through. Guess I need to do more investigating on these because I do have a heavy wetter and he’s a furnace all on his own.

I used All About Cloth Diapers when my oldest (now 5) developed an allergy around 6mo to disposable diapers. If it weren’t for this site, I would have switched back to disposables because I was having so many issues with fit and cleaning. This site really helped me to understand how to cloth diaper. I have used the big book every year even after my kids potty trained because there are so many amazing deals for everyday household and personal needs! So glad I found this site and the big book!

This is a great place to learn all there is to know about cloth diapers and the care of them. There is no right or wrong way to cloth diaper. All in one's may work best for one child but flats may work best for another child. You will understand how to care for your cloth diapers so they last you. There is a wealth of information on various brands and wool as well. Highly recommend!
