Ackkkk!! Blue fuzz from Wildoats (includes review)

[nitaghei]

We inaugurated the Wildoats WIO yesterday - as a night dipe no less! I boosted the soaker with a 1/2 cut up prefold and a MF towel - and we made it all night with no leaks. The shell wasn't even damp, though the inserts were soaked.

BUT - when I changed DS, he had all this blue fuzz all over his diaper area. Is this normal for wool flannel? I haven't had this issue with the other wool. I did wash and lanolize the shell. It doesn't bother him - just looks weird. I really couldn't get it off him with wipes. Hopefully it'll come off in the tub tonight. :)

The wool is incredibly soft and cuddly, and DS agreed that it was "comfy." Which is one less thing to worry about. The Wildoats is sort of wide in the stride. But it's soft and squishy enough that my picky child didn't object.

So, other than the fuzz issue, I highly recommend this dipe. It's beautifully sewn, and Andrea was wonderful with all my questions. And the large WIO was only $20. Grab her instock if it works for you. She's due soon, and isn't planning on stocking much.

I've had the fuzz issue with a soft wool cover (probably one of the softest) I had. It left all these green fuzzies on her bum area and although it didn't bother her, it took a bath to remove them completely. I agree with you that it's more of a nuisance for us than for the baby. :)

By the way, do you have a link for the Wild Oats?

ETA: oh, and will Neels pose for a picture? :P

The site is

I'm pretty sure that she has medium WIOs and covers in stock. These are pretty wide in the stride - so they should work for Kaya.

And, no, Neel will not pose for a diaper picture. After many frustrating attempts, I just gave up. :( I did have a pic of the Wildoats, but for some reason it didn't download to my machine. Will try again tomorrow.

Hmm...maybe between Rashmi, Helene and you, you could get Neels into a picture. ;)

Her WIOs seem so soft, but I wish they were front snapping. After working so hard to get rid of my side-snaps (still have a few left), it doesn't make sense for me to add more side-snaps to my stash. :(
