Disana
Disana Organic Double Knit Pull-On Wool Overpants 
Night-time Cloth Diaper Cover
     Disana wool is so beautiful! Disana wool often works even for people with sensitivities to other wool covers. Made of soft organic pure wool, the overpants hold all excess wetness within the inner fibres if the wool. Elasticated ribbing round the legs and waist provide a comfortable yet secure fit. Because of the self-cleansing properties of wool, the pants only require washing if they become soiled or less watertight. When merely damp, the woollen overpants clean themselves by being dried in the air.

Customer reviews of the Disana Pull-On Cover:
"We have the Disana pull ups (newborn and next size). I love them and they are very thick. They are soft and they come very flexy but shrink down into a compact and thick cover."

$23.95 (various colors available)

Disana tie-nappies also available on
cloth diapering page.

You can felt the Disana diaper covers before use to make the wool look more dense and felted like one the baby is wearing in the photo:
First try the cover on the baby to be sure you have an inch or so to work with in the rise. Felting the cover means the wool fibers pull together and shrink the cover, but luckily you can stop the shrinking at any point by simply removing the cover from the dryer.  Wash the cover in a sink of warm water with a lanolin shampoo and then squeeze it out a little to the point where it's not dripping too much.  Put the damp cover in the dryer on hot temperature with a dry cotton bed sheet (any size) and check on it every few minutes until it's the size you want (usually about 10-20 minutes).  Wool gets even softer and more fluffy feeling with the felting also, which is a nice bonus!  These are merino wool so they are soft even before felting.

Customer comments:
"I love it!  Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier about it, I was thrilled at how soft it is! Thanks for getting it to me so quickly too."
"I got the sleepsack today!!! I absolutely love it, but of course you knew I would!"
     Becky loves her Disana sac so much that she refuses to wear anything else now to bed.  I tried to put her in her night gown instead the other night (I was planning to wash the sac) and she wouldn't let me, saying "sac, sac, sac!".  She says it feels "soft and cozy" and she falls asleep almost immediately after getting in the bag.  She only wears a diaper underneath, because the wool is thick enough after the felting to be a diaper cover.  If it's cool in the house she wears a long sleeve shirt also, but usually just the sac because it's hot (we keep it about 79 degrees in our house in the summer).
     I only feel bad that I didn't discover this sleeping bag earlier for Becky.  I'm so happy not to have to worry any more about keeping a blanket over her to keep her warm.  Wool is the perfect choice for babies and keeps them sleeping peacefully, because wool insulates against heat and cold.  It breathes with the skin acting as a natural temperature regulator - warm in winter and cool in summer.  Wool is also a natural fire retardant and is the safe choice vs. synthetic fleeces which ignite easily.  Synthetic fleeces may also cause your baby to sweat and be uncomfortable, losing sleep at night.  With the wool sleeping bag your baby will feel the perfect temperature and you won't ever have to worry again about keeping a blanket on the baby in the cold.

Please note: The photo below shows what the Disana bag looks like after partially felting it.  Once it is felted it works great just over a fitted diaper (as a diaper cover).  Felting means the wool fibers pull together and shrink, which makes the bag smaller in size (the bags are bigger and thinner before felting).  After felting the bag it will also be much thicker.  To felt the bag in a controlled way (so you can stop the shrinking at any time), first wash the sleep-sac in a sink of warm water with a lanolin shampoo and then squeeze it out a little to the point where it's not dripping too much.  Put the damp sleep-sac in the dryer on hot temperature with a dry cotton bed sheet (any size) and check on it every few minutes until it's the size you want (usually about 10-20 minutes).  You can even measure your baby from shoulders to feet and then felt the bag until it is that length plus a couple of inches for growing room.  Wool gets even softer and more fluffy feeling with the felting also, which is a nice bonus!


Red wool leggings
Disana Merino Wool Leggings
These Disana leggings are one of our favorite products in our whole store.  We use them all the time, even in summer, and they make great pajama bottoms.  Please note these run really large, like the other Disana wool clothing.  Zora and Zavier are also wearing the 7-12 month size (at roughly 31" tall and 23lbs).  The rise is plenty even over a big diaper.  We love these wool leggings and they are great for toddlers who might need wool pants in case of overnight accidents.  The non-slip wool slippers worn by Zora and Zavier are also available.
$33.95 wool leggings (free shipping)
$29.95 wool slippers/booties (free shipping)
