fleece cover?

[workin'mumof2]

whats the difference between a fleece cover and a wool cover?

more or less absorbing?
more or less care (like lanolising a wool cover)
more or less cost

:detective:

My understanding is that the fleece cover, being 100% poly, repels the moisture so it stays in the nappy. The thinker the fleece the better it works. You don't have to lanolise them and i think they're cheaper.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Both allow air flow & for the nappy to breath a little so this means that even when a nappy gets saturated it will allow the moisture to evapourate ....

Fleece will allow this to a degree & works quite well especially a good quality version like Malden Mills.

Wool works in the same way but to a much better degree iykwim, it breathes much better being a natural product & will warm bubs as needed but also cool them down in hot weather. The wool will also absorb some of the wetness if it needs to & can hold a pretty decent amount.

Both need to be aired if used overnite with the fleece I would suggest being washed every second nite whereas the wool only needs to be done when smelly.

Through the day you can just interchange between two fleece covers unless soiled & possibly get away with this the following day also whereas wool can be worn all day & even the following few days when aired overnite unless soiled !

HTH !
