Thirsties Diaper Cover

What about diaper covers, pullons and wraps? How do I choose?

Waterproof covers are a necessary complement to cloth diapers. These covers come in the following styles: pull-ons, tie-ons, Velcro® and snap-closing. Covers come in a wide variety of materials: wool, waterproof 100% cotton, acrylic, polyester, plastic, vinyl and nylon. Prices can range from 3/$1.50 for cheap plastic pull-ons to almost $45.00 for GroVia Kiwi Pie Wool Cover

SUGGESTIONS: Hand-knit your own Down Under soakers to save money!

Tell me more about these diaper covers, pull-ons and wraps?

PLASTIC - Cheap plastic pull-ons are not a smart investment. They harden and crack with repeated launderings, and the elastic at the waist and legs tends to irritate baby's skin. Because plastic doesn't allow moisture to evaporate, it can contribute to diaper rash. It is worthwhile spending a few dollars more for good waterproof pull-ons that will last.

SUGGESTION: Bummis Whisper pull-on pants.

PINLESS COVERS - Waterproof pants not only prevent messy leaks, but can also (depending on how snugly it fits) hold the diaper in place without pins. If you want to avoid using pins, consider Velcro®, snap or tie-on diaper covers.

BREATHABLE COVERS - There are many types of diaper covers that come in 100% wool, polyester, fleece or cotton, are 100% breathable and water-resistant. They are an excellent choice to help prevent diaper rash - and they eliminate the need of pins at the same time. The disadvantages are if baby is left wet for more than one to two hours, or is a heavy-wetter - these covers do tend to leak. Plus, some brands are VERY expensive.

SUGGESTION: Double diaper or use extra liners. Use breathable covers during the day, when you are able to change baby more frequently and EcoPosh Wool Diaper Cover wool pull-ons for night-time protection. Or, try some of the more reasonable alternative brands such as Thirsties Snap Duo Wrap (Pliable and breathable), Iuhan® Fashion Diaper Cover (waterproof and breathable), or Bummis nylon wraps (100% nylon and somewhat breathable).
