Hand Knit Soakers - Wool Longies
Long Legged Diaper Covers Knit with Quality Merino Wool in Assorted Styles and Colors
Are the nights where you live cold or are the winters blustery? House a bit drafty? Maybe you just don't want to put another layer of clothing on a protesting child! Then the soft, stretchy legs of Green Way Wool Longies will make your little one warm and cozy any time of year. Designed to be worn alone or under other pants for protection against the deep cold, the legs of our longies fit somewhat like sweatpants, and have a ribbed cuff at the ankle which can be turned up to adjust length (we know how fast those little legs can grow!). The legs on each size are adjusted proportionally so that tiny babies with their short thinner legs and tall toddlers each have pants that match their body-type. For other details and tips on sizes and fitting see our Size Chart. And, of course, I am always happy to do customizations - many changes are free. Please contact me with any questions or for details.
The longies have the other outstanding feature of all Green Way wool diaper covers - a unique ribbed area between baby's legs that stretches to fit over even bulky night-time diapers, and contracts to fit trimly under day-time clothes like bodysuits. It also makes the entire cover very stretchy and easy to put on wiggly little ones. There are no seams, and the ribbed waist has a convenient tie cord - I send two because I know things like that have a way of disappearing. The leg openings come more from the front, where babies legs usually are anyway, leaving ample room in the back to fit
over thick diapers without pulling down at the waist (which can cause wicking of liquid into clothing).
These longies are breathable so your baby stays rash free and doesn't overheat. And what about wetness protection? This diaper cover is truly "nightworthy" and "bulletproof" to use words from two happy customers. To read about all the benefits of using wool diaper covers, read our Why Choose Wool? article.
They are knit from either super-soft merino wool, in your choice of 17 solid colors, or your choice of organic wool. For in-depth instructions on care see Washing and Lanolizing.
