I'm so technical.


Looking for small wool or fleece shorties/covers that will be good for night time.

Preferably well-loved as I'm not worried about looks, just function. I found a few on Etsy but am not looking to spend $20 on a brand spankin' new cover when he'll outgrow it so fast.

Please let me know if you've got anything....pictures would be cool. Oh and price. lol.

Prefer something neutral, or at least not like, hot pink with flowers.

I have some recycled wool that my SIL made and I honestly couldn't figure them out before he outgrew. I will try to get pics. Basically FFS, she gave them to me.

There is an WAHM on Ebay that sells 3 packs of fleece soakers for $18 w/free shipping. I bought the pack and got med, lg and xl, but you could as easily get s, m, l or any combination. You choose from her fabrics, and I got mine inside of a week.

LMK if you want the info.

Crystal, I'd love to see them! Sounds great to me.

jeminijad, I'd love her Ebay name if you know it off the top of your head. Even if I get enough smalls from Crystal I'll still need bigger sizes at some point. :thumbsup:

I have some longies that are too small for DS that you can have if you want them.

I have no experience with fleece, but if you use wool, you won't need very many if you're just using them for overnight. I have two wool longies and two shorties. I usually have two in rotation at any given time (depending on temperature) and alternate them evry other night. I just make sure to air out the used one each morning, and I don't wash/lanolize until they get smelly--about every two weeks.

YOU! You're the one that led me to post this. I have that burgundy one you sent me and it's freaking cute. If this kid pees like a horse I'm going to be so grateful for them.


I'm not sure about the difference in performance between fleece and wool, but I also figure wool will be a bit cooler than a PUL cover when it's so hot out.

LOL, I hope thr burgundy one fits. It is pretty cute

PUL makes diapers smell awful when used overnight, probably because it doesn't breathe. Icky. Wool is great. Like I said, not sure about fleece.

What I do with DD is a prefold, hemp doubler, and wool cover for overnight. No leaks ever. Ever.

Hmmm I have no hemp. Mostly microfleece. Guess that's going to be my next ISO.

I love hemp for overnight because it's SOOOOO absorbent. I have five doublers, but since I only use them at night and since I do laundry more frequently, I could probably get away with three. I like having extras just in case, though. I have two different kinds. I forget what they are, but I got them from Nicki's diapers and I don't recall them being very expensive. A couple bucks each. So if you can't find any cheap here, try there.

I just love hemp. Way more than the microfiber. Easier on the smell, and easier on the hands when stuffing...
