what wool diaper covers & stuffings are slim enough to fit under reg. daytime clothes w/out blowout?


i'm new to cloth diapering and considering getting some imse vimse or baby beehinds wool wrap covers (because i dont' want to use PUL or anything with poly content on my wee love). i wondered about little beetle wool wraps too? i like the bummis super brite covers taht i have, but want to quit using them ASAP - - however - - the gussets work GREAT! which is why i started looking for slim wool covers with gussets. i have a couple knitted wool shorties & one longies (thanks to her grammas), but no wayyyy can i put clothes over them :(

also - what slim style fitted diapers (or prefolds, or....??) do you use that work best under the trim wool wraps that still did a good daytime job (i cna use the knitted woolies at night)? i'm looking for unbleached, untreated or organic cottons, hemp or bamboo primarily. no synthetics though.

thank you :)

We have Muttaquin Baby shape fitted diapers (they look super tiny, but stretch to fit) and we use Sugar Peas Wool Flannel covers over with no problems. All our 15 month old baby's pants fit over that combination. She wears a medium long sized diaper and a medium sized cover.

We use this wool cover for nights too. The Babyshape diaper is not quite absorbent enough for nights all the time though. Sometimes they are really, really soaked in the morning. But we have never had a leak. Goodmama fitted diapers work very well at night, but they are bulkier than the Babyshapes.

If you need a wool cover with gussets take a look at the Sckoon wool covers. I have one and it works well, but I find that it is much bulker, I think because of the gussets ... But it can be machine washed and I didn't ever have to lanolize it until I stripped it and dyed it orange! I think that the Sckoon cover is almost identical to the Imse Vimse ones though.

Is it Right to Buy Expensive Organic Cotton Baby Clothing?

Birth of a baby is one of the most happiest moments for any parent. All parents want to gift their baby everything that is good of his/her health and life. Baby clothing is one of such things that is among the basic necessities of a baby. Keeping the enormous scale of demand for baby clothes, market is full with all types of synthetic as well as natural clothing for your baby- cheap to expensive to very expensive! However, we really need to stop and think whether the clothing we buy for our babies really do good for them or just push them towards unknown health hazards?

Of late, organic cotton baby clothing has become the most preferred choice of all parents but at the same time, it is a little expensive than other natural baby clothing. So, every parent must know what they are spending for their baby will actually ensure safety for him/her or its just a waste of money?

Why Organic Cotton Baby Clothing is Expensive?

Cotton is natural and thus safe. Then why go for expensive organic cotton clothing for baby? You must know that cotton, though natural, is treated with all kinds of chemicals while growing them in the fields as well as during the manufacturing of baby clothing in garment factories.

Organic cotton, on the other hand, do not use any pesticide or other chemicals while growth or during manufacturing of organic cotton fabric as well as when making baby clothing. More manpower, time, effort and pure raw materials plus methods are involved in the production of organic cotton fabric and clothing.  And that is why, organic cotton fabric is expensive than other natural cotton fabrics.

Is Organic Cotton Baby Clothing Actually Organic?

Not all organic cotton baby clothing claimed to be organic are so. Only the clothing that is made with certified organic cotton fabric is organic. In certified organic cotton clothing too, there are different levels like 70%, 90%, or 100% certified organic cotton etc. If you want to know the difference between all these grades of organic cotton clothing as well as why you must buy organic cotton baby clothing and how these clothing help & protect your baby's health, read Organic Cotton Baby Clothes- Why & How to Buy Them?

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Organic clothing is clothing that is made from materials that are raised or grown without the use of chemicals in the form of pesticides - herbicides or other chemicals[citation needed]. Cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land yet uses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop.There are no laws in the UK with regards to level of compliance with these standards and one item declaring itself as organic may still contain many thousands of inorganic chemicals.Many highstreet retailers market organic clothing ranges that contain many chemicals from dyes to bleaches and other chemicals to aid transportation many thousands of miles from their manufacture in places such as China. It can take almost a 1/3 pound of synthetic fertilizers to grow one pound of raw cotton in the US, and it takes just under one pound of raw cotton to make one t-shirt.
