The wonders of wool: soakers, shorts and longies

Here's something you don't hear someone say every day: Wool is sexy. OH SO sexy.Okay, so maybe "sexy" isn't the right adjective to use, when you're talking about something you want to wrap around a baby bum. I'm just so seriously enamoured with wool right now, I can't think of a better word to use. Wool is quite simply the coolest textile EVER.
Here's why: wool is so absorbent, it can hold double its weight in liquid and still not feel wet. You dig what I'm saying? A five-ounce wool diaper cover (more commonly known as a wool soaker) can absorb up to 10 ounces of liquid (and that doesn't include the liquid held in the diaper itself) and still not leak. Wool sucks the moisture away from baby's skin and is perfectly breathable, which means even babies with sensitive skin are far less likely to get a rash.You know what that means, don't you? Say helloooooooo to a good night's sleep. If you don't have to change your baby in the middle of the night, then you don't run the risk of waking your baby up so much that he or she has trouble returning to sleep. And the faster you get that baby back to sleep after you feed it, the more sleep YOU get at night.(And that's something I've discovered since becoming a parent: sleep = sanity. It's why we don't need so much of it when we're in our teens and twenties. Sanity isn't what those periods of our life are about. Of course, neither is parenthood, so there you go. But I digress.)Wool. It's simply wonderful.
But wait -- it gets even better. Wool has natural antibacterial properties that enable it to kill odors completely. A diaper can be absolutely saturated with baby pee and once it's dry, you know what it smells like? Wool. That's it. I know that many of you who haven't already fallen into the wool vortex may have a hard time believing this, but it's true, brownie's honour.In fact, a diaper can be absolutely saturated with baby pee for up to three weeks running, and you know what it'll smell like when it dries after 21 days of such treatment? Wool. Uh huh. That's right. Wool.It comes in soakers and wraps, and also shorts and longies that can double as pants. Imagine wearing a simple cotton prefold diaper under pants like these?Or these? Or how about these?Wool. It's the best thing to wear when it's cold AND the best thing to wear when it's hot.It's the coolest. Thing. Ever.Seriously. Is that sexy or what?
