Types of Reusable Diaper Covers

There are three basic materials for covers: Plastic (PUL), Fleece, and Wool.  Here’s a chart full of my opinions:

Type	Pros	Cons
Plastic / PUL	Totally waterproof Smooth – clothes slide over Cute prints The types with gussets trap any poo-splosions	Can really trap the wetness, can cause rashiness Velcro can lose stickiness if not cared for correctly
Fleece	Breathable – seems more comfortable for DD’s skin Water repellent – the wetness does not press through the fleece Support WAHM shops on Etsy to buy them Cute colors and prints Great to use at home	Can’t layer pants over them, they will wick moisture through Can’t use while sitting for long periods (car seat, baby carrier, stroller) because of the wicking factor Finding the right fit can be a little tricky, since the least expensive are pull ons with little adjustability
Wool	Natural fibers are great! Very water repellent Cute colors and prints Can buy commercially or on sites like Etsy Seems very comfortable for baby Great to use at home	Similar wicking properties to fleece – difficult to use out of the house because of wicking Require very careful care to wash – must hand wash and lanolinize.
