Sizing Information
What size do I need?
All sizes are approximate. All measurements should be taken OVER your bulkiest diaper.
Waist: Measure around baby's belly, at approximately the belly button.
Rise: Measure baby starting at the belly button (or top of the diaper), down through the crotch, and up to the diaper level on the backside. This is important, because you want the wool to completely cover the diaper!
**Our soakers, shorts, and pants are measured before the wool is stretched. Knit wool is very stretchy and should stretch over your baby's diaper. If your baby falls outside the measurement chart in either direction, please email us about the sizing, and we will work with you to find a good fit.**

Washing & Care of Wool Items
In order to preserve the natural qualities of wool soakers, it is important to follow specific washing instructions.
Damp covers may be air-dried, and used for a two week period before washing (you can wash them more often, but this will drastically decrease their absorbency).
When washing covers that are soiled, always use a mild detergent specifically designed for washing wool (i.e.: Eucalan). This helps retain the lanolin grease found in the wool which allows the wool to hold in liquid. Gently rub the detergent into the wool cover and wash by squeezing in lukewarm water.
If cover is significantly soiled, you may leave the detergent on to ‘pre-treat’ the cover for a short while before washing.
Remove the excess water from the cover by rolling it in a towel, and place it on a flat well-ventilated surface for drying.
If you notice your wool soaker is loosing absorbency, you can treat the covers with pure, natural lanolin, by following directions on the packaging.
In addition, please NEVER do the following, or you will ruin your wool garment:
NEVER wash with harsh detergents. These will remove the necessary lanolin from your soaker, making them stiff and unabsorbent. In addition, please avoid scented wool washes and lanolin products. The scents in these items can cause colors to bleed.
NEVER machine wash your soakers. Washing machines, even on a delicate cycle, are too rough on knitted fabrics, and will cause your knit garments to fall apart.
NEVER dry soakers by placing in the dryer, on the clothesline, or anywhere near a source of heat. Heat causes wool to shrink, and your soaker will no longer fit properly, if at all.
