Fitted Cloth Diapers: Little Beetle Organic Wool Cover in Snaps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the Little Beetle Little-to-Big onesize wool cover with snaps. Actually, I have five of them. I'm new to wool covers and have to say I'm impressed with what wool can do. NO LEAKS -- except for when the two-month-old sleeps for 6 hours in her thin Gerber birdseye flatfold. (Looks like she's outgrown those!) Even then, it's just a little wicking of moisture that doesn't even smell of urine.
These particular covers are very well-designed. They fit trimly but can still accomodate the 60cm bamboo terry squares we use on our toddler. The natural color is gorgeous. I have sadly stained mine by uneven lanolizing, but that can be avoided with a little research and effort. I suspect you can dye these as well, but I haven't looked into that.
I have a Sheepish Grins one-size as well, and while it's okay, I much prefer the Little Beetles. They're a bit stretchier with more gathering at the legs and a lower rise. The one-size is a great economical option if you can find some. We use ours on two babies -- a two-month-old and a seventeen-month-old -- and can switch between them with ease. The younger has been in the one-size covers since the day we brought her home, and she was only six pounds! They really do go from birth to potty. If you prefer not to have all the extra snaps, I imagine the fitted covers are just as amazing. I even bought a wool wet bag made by Little Beetle because I was so in love with their soft covers.
If you already love wool, you'll probably love this cover. If you're new to wool, these are a great product to try!

Product Description:
Organic wool is free of pesticides, formaldehyde, polyester, foams, dioxins and other additives used in conventional manufacturing practices. These 'other' things are, of course, bad for you. Organic wool is good, and it is better for babies.Wool is a natural fiber and a renewable resource that is non-allergenic. Organic wool can be used extensively by those who normally suffer from chemical sensitivity when in contact with conventional grow wool (as the number of chemicals used in the textile industry is upward of 8,000).Why organic wool rather than synthetic fleece? Wool is mother nature's wonder fiber ... Wool is the most hydrophilic of all fibers and has the ability to wick away excess moisture. It can actually absorb up to 30% of its weight in water without feeling clammy or wet to touch. Wool is safer to wear having natural fire-retardant properties. It can resist flame without chemical treatments involved in fireproofing. Synthetic fleec is oil based, ignites easily, burns fiercely and melts.Wool is remarkably elastic. Wool fibers can be stretched and still bounce back to their original shape. This makes it incredibly comfortable to wear, allowing for growth and movement.
