Jovoh wool covers are made either from pure organic wool or from a combination of organic wool and (organic) cotton fabrics. The snaps are attached in such a way that they do not touch the child’s skin. The cover must be combined with
absorbing material (e.g., folding insert, prefold, or muslin nappy) and greased with wool fat before first use to get water-repellent. The cover may also fit over compact absorbent nappies; however, it will probably not manage large and voluminous night nappies.
Materials
The outer fabric is made from (organic) cotton or cotton-linen mixture. The cover is lined with either
knitted wool, wool fleece, or fine boiled wool made of 100% organic merino wool. You can also choose for
velcro instead of snaps or send us
your own favourite fabric. For the latter choose *own fabric* in the drop-down menu.
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.
