Inner diaper newborn made of wool OLD VERSION

The inner diaper is the heart of our Ai3 WindelManufaktur diaper.

This is the most important part of our diaper, making it waterproof.

Our woolen inner diaper is big news in the cloth diapering world - it brings together the great look of modern cloth diapers and the very best natural material imaginable for the waterproof parts of diapers: wool.

No other diaper so cleverly combines all natural materials with the laundry-reducing Ai3 system. This is the inner diaper of choice for those of you who want to live plastic-free!

Our woolen inner diaper is made of pure, incredibly soft, mulesing-free merino wool, which is both breathable and waterproof: Wool is a natural high-tech material, as breathable as modern outdoor fabrics, dirt repellent, washable, and waterproof when treated with lanolin.

Just as with our PUL inner diapers, the edges of the woolen inner diaper enclose the inserts perfectly and ensure that only a small area of skin gets wet.

Size:

The inner diaper comes in two sizes, this is the newborn one, for the small newborn outer diaper. Should the inner diaper not sit snugly in your baby’s groin crease, it can be adjusted to fit your child perfectly. The elastic in the edges is accessible via a small opening, where you can pull the elastic out and tie it in a small knot, to make the inner diaper smaller.  

Color:

The woolen inner diapers’ default color is a dark anthracite grey, which masks stains.  

Material Declaration:

100% wool (pure new wool)

Washing Recommendations:

Woolen inner diapers should only be washed in lukewarm water, whether in the washing machine’s wool program or by hand. We strongly recommend the use of detergent specifically meant for wool, such as Disana Wool Shampoo. To make them waterproof, woolen inner diapers must be re-greased after washing.

This can be done with lanolin, wool grease, such as Lenya Lanolin Treatment. The inner diaper is ready for use when drops of water running over it are repelled instead of soaked up.

Our woolen inner diapers do not, however, need to be washed after every use. As long as they are just damp, it is sufficient to air them thoroughly. Wool has self cleansing properties, and the inner diaper can be used for a long time inbetween washes.

About the fantastic properties of wool, by Disana:

“Wool can absorb moisture inside its fibres, but the surface repels water. Wool can absorb up to one third of its own dry weight in water, without feeling damp, and draws moisture away from the skin much faster than cotton.

We use these properties for our Disana woolen diaper covers.

Since wool fibres are made out of up to 85% air, they insulate well, and very little body warmth can escape. Woolen garments are said to be warming, although they do not actually warm, they simply retain and reflect body heat.

Wool repels dirt and sweat and is antistatic. Its fibres are very elastic, so the garments barely crease and wrinkle. Wool is colourfast and difficult to ignite - it will char, but not burn.

Unlike synthetic fibres, wool hardly absorbs smells, and has natural self cleansing properties. Aired outside, woolen garments will smell fresh and clean again. Wool can bind sweat and urine chemically, neutralising their smells for a long time.

Thanks to its scaly surface, controlled felting of wool is possible. That is how we make our soft Disana wool fabrics.” (source: www.disana.de)
