- Pull-on cover knitted in double-thickness 100% wool, described as breathable and self-cleaning
- Wool wicks moisture away from the surface so skin stays dry, and insulates in both winter and summer
- Cut wide and well-covering, so it fits over classic flat diapers (nappies) and tie-on muslins
- No elastic at the waist or legs, so it leaves no marks on the skin
- Presented as suited to newborns and to babies with sensitive skin, redness or eczema
- Works over any absorbent insert
- Can be aired dry and reused between changes when it is not soiled
- Wool is kbT-certified, which the page says guarantees it is free of pesticides, and mulesing-free
