Cotton Flat

6,50 €

The cotton flat is made of 100% organic cotton and is ideal as top layer in direct contact to your child. Cotton absorbs the moisture quickly and pass it on downwards, but still allow moisture feedback. The insert is cuddly and soft. It will accompany you throughout the entire time of changing nappies, from the first day until the last.

  • It can be used as a basic nappy, being closed with a snap (see photo). Suitable especially for newborns.
  • Divided into thirds, it is ideal for newborn covers (size 1), as it offers sufficient suction volume and at the same time catches the still liquid faeces due to the loop-like structure of the terrycloth fabric. Faeces from breast feeding or artificial milk can easily be washed out in the washing machine

  • Folded along the narrow side, it is ideal for wool covers of size 2 and 3. In combination with a hemp booster it guarantees enough absorption capacity. Single, it can be used for short changing intervals.

Basic Package Newborn | Cotton & wool
  With this package you save 10% compared to the individual products The basic package for newborns is the perfect way into the wonderful world of wool nappies. The package is designed in such a way that the absorbing inserts must be washed about every two to three days. The wool covers can dry out after use and must be washed once they are dirty or start to smell. The package includes three wool covers of your choice, 32 absorbing inserts, lanolin and green olive soap flakes for greasing, wool washing soap for cleaning, and nappy fasteners that are used to hold the muslin nappies together. You receive various absorbing inserts that you can use from the beginning till the end of the nappy time, not only in the first months. The basic package gives you a great opportunity to also test the different absorbing inserts and to discover the most suitable ones that fits your baby’s needs.   Materials The covers are either lined with knitted wool or wool fleece made of 100% organic merino wool. The outer fabric is made from stretchable (organic) cotton jersey. Stretchable nappies tend to fit longer than nappies made from non-stretchy fabrics (e.g., pure cotton) and this is important to us, especially for the little ones who are growing fast.   Beginner’s Guide from “Die Stoffwickler“ In addition, you receive the Beginner’s Guide from “Die Stoffwickler” on how to get started with cloth nappies, with special emphasis on wool. Spoken language is German but you can select the subtitle in your mothertongue. The course includes twelve videos and a course book. The guide is worth € 49 but you will get it for free as part of this package. It covers the following topics:
  • How to use cloth nappies (e.g., how to put on a nappy)
  • The different types/materials of covers and absorbing inserts
  • Folding techniques of prefolds and muslin nappies
  • Greasing and cleaning of wool nappies
  • Washing of cloth nappies and absorbing inserts
  • On the go with cloth nappies
  • And many other useful topics to make your life easier when you start with cloth nappies

Wool cover | 100% wool | Customised order
The wool cover is made of 100% organic merino wool and must be combined with absorbing inserts to form a complete nappy. The wool must be greased with wool fat (lanolin) before first use to get water-repellent.   Fibres The outer fabric consists of 100% finest organic merino wool from Mrs.BeAn. The fabric is dyed with vegetable dyes and knitted or spun in Germany. The main dyes used are madder root, mignonette, indigo, yellowwood, logwood, and redwood. A wonderfully natural fabric whose components are sustainably obtained and processed. Wool nappies made of pure wool are soft, stretchable, and extra tight due to the two layers of wool. The cover is lined with either knitted wool, wool fleece, or fine boiled wool made of 100% organic merino wool. As closure you can choose between snaps and velcro.   Closure The classic wool covers from Jovoh are made with snaps, which are attached in such a way that they do not touch the child's skin. There is also the option of choosing a Velcro fastener. The advantage of Velcro is the stepless adjustment, whereby care must be taken that the so-called “over-snapping” of the wings is not possible. Over-snapping means that the snaps on the outside of the wings are used, and allow slim children a seamless transition between sizes. Velcro requires some care, as e.g. lint can get caught in it. The counter Velcro on the wings must be closed when storing and washing the nappy to prevent the wool fabric from being damaged by the barbs of the Velcro.   Size guide The wool cover is available in three sizes: Size 1 (ca. 4-7 kg), size 2 (ca. 7-12 kg) and size 3 (ca. 11-16 kg). Please note that the weight information of the sizes can only be an estimate, as the fit depends on the stature of the respective child.   Lining: 100% organic merino wool Outer fabric: 100% organic merino wool   Processing time: 5-10 working days

The wool cover is made of organic merino wool and stretchable (organic) cotton jersey, and must be combined with absorbing inserts to form a complete nappy. As lining you can choose between knitted wool, wool fleece, and fine boiled wool made of 100% organic merino wool. The wool must be greased with wool fat (lanolin) before first use to get water-repellent.   Size guide The wool cover is available in four sizes: Size 1 (ca. 4-7 kg), size 2 (ca. 7-12 kg) and size 3 (ca. 11-16 kg), and as a one-size nappy (ca. 7-16 kg). Please note that the weight information of the sizes can only be an estimate, as the fit depends on the stature of the respective child. The one-size nappy corresponds to size 3 with reduction buttons and can be, at least at the beginning, too large for very slim children. The type of outer fabric also makes a difference on how the nappy fit. Wool covers made from stretchable fabric tend to adapt better to the child’s stature and are suitable for stronger children. According to experience, they also fit longer than covers made from non-stretchy fabrics (e.g., pure cotton) and this is especially important for newborns. Non-stretchy covers on the other hand are more likely to retain their shape and are recommended for slim children. If there are only a few but very absorbent inserts, wool covers made of non-stretchable fabrics are more suitable, as they give the nappy stability.   Lining: 100% organic wool Outer fabric: see list “fabrics”   Processing time: 5-10 working days

With this package you save 10% compared to the individual products   The package gives you the opportunity to try out the different absorbent inserts and discover the most suitable combinations for you. It contains various absorbent inserts made of hemp and/or organic cotton, as well as an insert of pure merino wool quality. For all absorbing inserts we use sustainable and natural fibres only. The absorbent inserts can be used for in total four changing intervals.   Scope of delivery   Possible combination of inserts When combining absorbent inserts, there is a rule of thumb that must be observed: Fast-absorbing cotton should always be in contact with the child, with hemp inserts placed underneath. Hemp absorbs more moisture than cotton, but relatively slowly.
  • Muslin nappy, which is either placed in the wool cover or directly folded around the child. For newborns, it can further be combined with a cotton liner made of terrycloth. The loop-like structure of the terry cloth reliably catches the still liquid faeces.
  • The cotton flat is tripled along the long side and directly placed in the wool cover. Make sure that the flat reaches the edge of the cover, but not beyond. Otherwise leakage is likely to occur.
  • For more absorbency, the cotton flat is combined with a hemp booster: along the entire length (booster – long) or selectively (booster – short) where the absorption needs to be greatest. For boys more at the front and for girls in the middle of the cover.
  • The hemp flat is placed directly in the wool cover. Fold the flat along the long side for covers of size 1 and along the short side for covers of sizes 2 and 3. You must combine it with a cotton liner or muslin nappy. Pure cotton quickly absorbs moisture and directs it downwards where it is stored in the hemp flat.
  • The wool liner can be combined with all the above systems. The liner is suitable in two ways: Greased, it can be placed directly in the wool cover and serves as extra moisture protection. For children who have a strong feeling of wetness, the wool liner is placed ungreased on top of the absorbing insert in direct contact to the child.
