Day 8 - My favourite guilty pleasure

I have a couple guilty pleasures (mmm, beer) but the one I want to talk about today is buying fluff, especially because I scored a super-good deal the other day.

Hi my name is Hannah and I like buying fluff; used or new.  And finding good deals while I'm at it. 

Like 9 wool covers for $45.



I know, eh?!?  I'm so excited :)  My girl's become a very heavy wetter.  Last week a bamboo diaper would last her the whole night (11pm to 7am-ish).  This week I used the same bamboo diaper plus two other diapers in the same time period.  Oy vey!  I've been reading about wool and how nice it is to use and breathable and how wonderful it is for overnight because it's so much more absorbent, etc, etc.  So I thought I'll keep my eyes open and if I see a couple covers I'll buy them and try them out.  (Until now we've just used pockets or AI2s)  Then I saw the ad on Kijiji.  Much too good of a deal to pass up!  To make it even better, the lady threw in a bottle of lanolin 2/3 full and a bottle of wool washing soap 3/4 full!!  And then gave me 6 Motherease one-size fitteds for $20!!  I'm a happy mum :D  (For those who aren't familiar with wool covers, the ones I bought range from $23 - $35CAD EACH brand new!)

I put one on girlie this morning to try it out :) (This is the 9th cover that wasn't in the picture up top)


This is my first venture with wool; I'm excited to see how it turns out!!  Has anyone else used wool? Do you have any tips, tricks, pointers?

  1. I love wool covers, longies shakers... everything wool! I am still trying to figure out the best washing routine and soap/lanolin mix but so excited that I am getting some CMC wool wash at the end of the month to try out.
