Disana Woollen Outer / Diaper Cover

Plus points: it's natural and organic; it gets better with use; it fits over any secured cloth nappy and any terry or muslin fold; it's truly breathable so excellent for nappy rash; it's is soft on the skin (no nasty red marks); it's sustainably produced; it's self-cleaning and only needs washing every couple of weeks - simply air it after use.

"My friend recommended these to me and I was quite sceptical until she lent me one. Now I'm impressed. Like my other wraps, yes, this one smells of wee in the morning - but I hang it up and by the evening it smells clean again. The difference is clear!". Sophie, Cambridge.

Minus points: Will need proofing with lanolin (found below) to start with to improve its water resistance, and around once a month thereafter - it is less waterproof at the beginning until it felts a little. And as it felts, which it will, it will get smaller - so start bigger!

How to lanolise your nappy wraps. Dilute 4 dessert-spoonfuls of wool cure in about a cup of very hot water. Pour into a bowl and dilute with cooler water until luke-warm (this is called a lanolin bath). Add your woollens and squeeze through. Remove and use a towel to remove excess water, and re-shape. Dry away from direct heat. The lanolin will coat the fibres, improving water proofing.

We recommend doing this three times before use to create a great "barrier" but, to be honest, most people don't. You will need to repeat about once a month.

You can also try lanolising pyjamas and sleeping bags to continue the night-time nappy breathing process, and you can lanolise wool baby-bodies and then close them over the wrap (just like with a disposable nappy) to help keep everything in place. Brilliant!
