Here is how to lanolise you 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!
Disana's GOTS certified organic standard is so high that even oils that lubricate knitting machines have to be analysed. Disana's whole garment (not just the yarn) is certified as organic, so that you can be assured that their dyes are baby-safe, eco-safe and that all cotton threads and finishes are natural too.
All certified organic wool comes from sheep which have been farmed organically and with high animal welfare standards. At Cambridge Baby we always make sure that no wool comes from farms which practise mulesing.
Please note that under EU labelling regulations, stating the type of wool is not allowed, only a statement of "100% wool" or "new wool" is allowed. However, this garment is organic Merino wool.
The Merino wool fibre is very fine, soft and springy and is not itchy at all to most skins. The Merino sheep usually thrives in mountainous areas at high altitudes and its wool is naturally brilliant at keeping the body comfortable at a wide range of temperatures. Wool (and thus Merino wool) has many benefits.
Merino wool is the wool of choice for baby and children's clothes, as well as for sportswear, because it's finer than most other wools. It's naturally springy (which makes it softer) and has a tight crimp, allowing it to trap more air, making clothing lighter as well as softer for the same excellent insulation.
Merino wool has also been proven to absorb UV across the whole range of the spectrum, giving excellent lightweight sun protection in the summer too.
"Really like these wraps, they do not leak. Easy to wash by hands. I also like that they are from natural material, so prefer these to all those plastic wraps. And good quality!"

I'd recommend this to a friend.
Lanolising your nappy wraps This nappy wrap will need proofing with lanolin to improve its water resistance, and around once a month thereafter.
