Diaper Covers/Diaper Wraps

A note about choosing the covers: Ok, this is the hard part. The diaper choice is easier, because that is often a budget (price-driven) decision. But the covers are all very close in price to each other, so personal preference comes into play more here. We've tried to summarize each cover the end of each description by saying "This cover is terrific because..." so you can more easily spot the differences in the covers. Sometimes you just have to try a few before finding your personal favorite. But don't worry, these are all excellent covers. If you get overwhelmed with the choices, just pick the Bummis Super Whisper Wrap. Nearly everyone loves that one!

Definition:: A diaper cover is anything to put over a diaper keep moisture in. A diaper wrap is a wrap-style diaper cover, which "wraps" around from the back to the front, for example, Bummis Super Whisper Wrap. Thus, all diaper wraps are diaper covers, but only some diaper covers are diaper wraps. Most people use the words interchangeably, making no distinction between "diaper cover" and "diaper wrap". We tend to use the broader term "diaper cover", because there are some many different styles of diaper covers.

Bummis Super Whisper Wraps: Snap closure also available

Bummis Froggie Pond

Bummis Jungle

Bummis flower diaper wrap See this on a baby

Bummis is pronounced "Bum Ease", as in easy on the baby's bum (bottom). Also known as the Bummis Industrial. It's a durable wrap style cover that can be washed with the diapers (although the manufacturer does not recommend this, lots of people do it anyhow). Generously cut to fit over nearly any kind of diaper (pinned, unpinned, and many fitteds but not all, see fitted diaper details). It has a very versatile fit which is great on any shape of baby; thin, average or chubby. Runs true to size, except wide babies will outgrow the medium before 30 pounds, narrow babies might fit medium all the way to 30 pounds, so consider that in your size choice if baby is over about 22 pounds. It's three layers- a waterproof laminate between two layers of polyester knit. The knit is the softest of any cover on the inside, which is lovely, but because it is soft, it also gets a bit damp inside when the diaper is saturated. This means that you need a fresh cover a bit more often a when using this cover to avoid odors. Our most popular cover! A true workhorse. The backbone of many cloth diaper wardrobes when used over prefolds. It is perhaps the most popular cover in the US for homewashers. Super Prints and Super Whisper have Aplix brand hook and loop closures, Super Snap has snap closures. Made in Canada. This cover is terrific because it fits nearly every baby very well and is very durable.

Bummis Super Brite new

See this on a baby

Like the Bummis Super Whisper Wrap but with gussets and no innner polyester layer. The PUL (waterproofing) is exposed on the inside for a more slick, wipe-clean surface. White plus 4 prints. We will have these available at soon as they hit the market. I did have the opportunity to test a sample on my daughter and I like it a lot. It runs a little bit smaller in the leg than the Super Whisper since it has gussets. In addition to the gusset difference, the other big difference between this and the ever-popular Bummis Super Whisper Wraps above is that the lamintate (polyurethane waterproofing) is exposed on the inside of the cover in the Super Brite, whereas in the Super Whisper Wrap it is covered - hidden behind a light layer of soft polyester knit. Thus this is a thinner cover, since the laminate is exposed. Which do you prefer? Slick waterproof-feeling material inside or soft knit material inside? Both are fully waterproof. A great cover sure to be a favorite, with the tried and true high quality of a Bummis. See this on a baby.

Thirsties new

thirsties diaper cover thirsties diaper wrapmany colors available, see this on a baby.

Thirsties is a simple wrap-style cover, similar to the Bummis Super Brites in that it has gussets and no innner polyester layer. The PUL (waterproofing) is exposed on the inside for a more slick, wipe-clean surface. The size is different than Bummis Supers. The size, fit and cut is different. They are lower on the leg and is a little larger at the hip. The gusset is deeper. Solid colors. More information and pictures coming soon. Size small really is for 12 pounds or more, not for newborns. Mediums run larger than the sizes, listed, I think. Large is big and should fit most up to 40 pounds. Simple, effective and made in the USA.
X-Small 6 to 12 pounds
Small 12 to 18 pounds
Medium 18 to 28 pounds
Large 28 to 40 pounds

 Bummi Original

orig.jpg (11469 bytes) See this on a baby.

A no-pinning delight! A fit snug enough to hold the diaper in place along with an interior mesh lining for no slipping makes this a nice daytime cover for unpinned diapers folded in thirds. This cover is lightweight and has a wonderful trim fit for less bulk under clothes. We do not suggest this one for nighttime, since the lycra bindings on this cover can wick when saturated. The lycra is nice and soft, and wicking is not typically a problem during the day when diaper changing happens more frequently. The 3 inch tummy panel for great adjustability and makes it very unlikely to scratch. Fits best on babies with wide, or broad hips. A wider fit than Bummis Super Whisper. It stretches at the sides (wings are stretchy), not just at the back. It's made of lightweight nylon, so wash it separately from the diapers. Made in Canada. This cover is terrific because it holds an unpinned prefold in place beautifully with no sagging or "puffiness" through the rear.

$ 9.00 each

 Litewrap ™

litewrapprint.jpg (15835 bytes) See this on a baby

This cover has a soft, breathable polyester outer and waterproof bonded polyurethane inside. It closes with a hook and loop closure, but also has a snap on each side to prevent the hook and loop closure from scratching baby’s legs. This is a fairly roomy full-cut cover with leg gussets and soft elastic across the back waistband for a nice fit. This works best over pinned,fitted or semi-fitted diapers but can also be used over diapers folded in thirds, especially in size newborn and small. It's the best value in a wrap-style cover for newborns; they are big enough to accommodate an infant size prefold, whereas the other wrap style covers are really best with the less bulky newborn size prefolds. Litewraps run big, perhaps even very big. Very durable. Made in China. This cover is terrific because of it's breathability, low price and it's good fit in newborn and small. It's nice in size medium and up IF you prefer a full-cut cover, since it's taller at the hips and fuller through the rear than most covers.

$8.00 each

 Cot'nWrap ™

cotnwrap.jpg (12524 bytes) See this on a baby

Soft! This feels nice. 100% cotton inside. A great choice for thin legs. Breathable polyurethane laminate is hidden between 2 cottony layers. No crinkliness at all to this wrap -you really can't feel that the waterproof layer is even there to the touch. I love the softness! The outside is 60/40 cotton/polyester, so this cover does not have the shrinkage problem that the older style Cot'nWraps did. If you read reviews about this cover, please discard the information about the old style Cot'nWraps, because this new style is quite different and so much better! The styling and cut is similar to the Litewrap, but it doesn't come up as tall in the front, so it's not exactly the same. The material is very different, also. It closes with a hook and loop closure, but also has a snap on each side to prevent the hook and loop closure from scratching baby’s legs. This is a fairly roomy full-cut cover with leg gussets and soft elastic across the back waistband for a nice fit.  This works best over pinned or snappi fastened prefolds, or most fitted diapers. It does work with all fitteds that we sell but it only just makes it over Under the Nile, with no room for error. It is a mid-height cover. It's very nice teamed up with Grow With Me or Kissaluvs. It can also be used over prefold diapers folded in thirds, especially in size newborn and small. Since it is roomy inside, fastening the prefold in the larger sizes may be preferred. Of all the synthetic covers, I think this one stays the coolest inside. Chubby legs might not fit this well. It fits best on thin to average legs. Wash in cold gently. Never wash this delicate cover with the diapers. This is great on newborns because it has tiny leg openings the really fit a newborn's skinny legs well. Made in China. These run smaller than the sizes listed. For comparison, a baby who fits well into medium Bummis Super Whisper is usually a size Large Cot'n Wrap, except perhaps at the very beginning of the size medium Bummis SWW - that baby would fit a medium Cot'n Wrap. This cover is terrific because of it's breathability, soft feel, and roominess inside to fit over many fitted diapers.

  Imse Vimse Organic Covers

imse vimse organic velour diaper cover See this on a baby

Soft! This feels wonderful! The Imse Vimse Organic Cotton Velour Cover is a wrap style cover with hook and loop closure. It has two layers of fabric - Fox FibreŽ organic cotton velour on the outside and polyester PUL on the inside. Use this over a prefold diaper without fastening the diaper, or you can pin or snappi a prefold under this if you choose to. It comes up tall enough on the waist to accommodate most fitted diapers, even Under the Nile. A very versitle cover. The soft leg-gussets are nice to keep moisture from wicking onto the outer cotton. Fox FibreŽ is exclusive cotton that is naturally coloured - not dyed, it grows that way. The natural colours darken when washed, and the fabric is more durable than ordinary cotton. Fox FibreŽ is great because of the softness of the fibre, it is chemical free and friendly to the environment. Olive Stripe. Made in Sweden.

$17.75 each.

Sizes:   Preemie 4 to 9 pounds (nice on small to average newborns)
     Newborn 6.5 to 13 pounds (larger than most newborn size covers)

Blue Penguin Soft Stuff

See this on a baby.

Pull on or snap on, pull off or snap off. Use it over a fitted diaper or a pinned or snappi fastened prefold. Fits over all fitted diapers, but don't use it over unfastened prefolds. Durable enough to be washed with the diapers since the waterproof part is made from the same nylon waterproof material that some all-in-ones are made from. It's not absorbent inside so it doesn't get wet quickly or retain odors. It is similar to the POSOs but the pattern has been changed and more snaps have been added to accommodate a wider weight range in each size. It's very adjustable. It will fit thin, average or chubby babies, even very chubby legs. It adjusts even more than the POSO below, with 4 snap adjustments at the leg. Those are all wonderful enough reasons to love this cover, but now for the outside. Ohhhh, it's so soft and lovely! The outer is chenille. Just the softest! You just want to "pet" it because it feels so soft. This is definitely a cover to show off, but it's also a workhorse. See more pictures of Soft Stuff.

Blue Penguin POSO - sold out

Bummis Whisper Pant nylon pull-on

See this on a baby.

It's white, not blue-ish as the picture shows. It's so thin that the blue background is showing through the material in the picture. Bummis Whisper Pant is not made of the same material as the Bummis Super Whisper Wraps. It's made of a very lightweight nylon, just like the old, no-longer-made Cloth-eez Covers and Alexis Featherlites were. Simple, effective, inexpensive. Easy and very comfortable for baby. Nothing binding or tight on baby anywhere. Fits over everything, prefolds or fitted diapers, but note that prefold diapers must be fastened under pull-on style covers. They look a bit balloon-ish, but they are so thin and lightweight they "smash down" nicely under clothing, thus are even thinner than many other options. Back when everyone used cloth diapers, this is the kind of thing everyone used. It's easier than you might think to use a pull-on. In some ways it's eaiser than fastening a cover, because you can't do it wrong. There is the drawback of pulling it down if there is a poop in there, but if the diaper underneath is doing it's job well, it's not bad. So like every diapering choice, there are tradeoffs. I think pull-on style covers allow maximum comfort and freedom of movement for baby. Sometimes people who are reluctant to try wool for nighttime (in spite of my, umm, strong encouragement to try wool for night) find this a great answer for night. They can be put over your non-wool nighttime system for an extra layer of protection. They are also great over training pants at potty learning time, and the largest size will fit many 4 or 5 year olds. A very low price so it can be nice to have one on hand as a spare cover just in case, or to keep in the car or diaper bag as a back-up cover. Yet it's durable enough to be a workhorse. Machine wash, hang to dry. Wipe-clean interior doesn't retain odors. They run big. Do not size up. PUL nylon with lycra bindings. No polyester. No vinyl. Made in Canada.

Wool in a warm climate? YES! It's cool and it breathes. Wool is cooler than synthetics and definitely cooler than disposables. Theresa says, "My daughter wears wool all summer, and we live in Texas. When I take her diaper off her skin is cool." I know that is hard to believe, but it's true. Wool is the most breathable of all coverings, so it is the coolest!

Jamie in Florida says, "I use wool all year on my son. He's comfortable in it and it doesn't get sweaty inside. Our house is air conditioned, but we go out a lot also and wool is definitely cool even in our humid weather. I wish I'd known about wool when my first baby was little. I really thought it would be hot but it is not. I'm a wool convert now."
