Kushies Taffeta Diaper Cover

My sister in law and I never had a great relationship but have but effort into getting to know each other as moms this past year and a half.  We are very different moms.  Different in almost every way except she's boarder line free range and I'm fully free range.  Her kids are younger so I expect she'll become full fledged also. 

Ok back on topic lol.  She bought be a Kushies taffeta (TPU) cover for Monkey.  That's pretty awesome if her being she's a sposies mom.  Now I've used these in the past and found they fit average babies to skinny Minnie's.  Well they have new sizes and so I have one that fits my chunky Monkey. 

I do like it.  I still love my wool the most.  But when we are out in a stroller all day with snowsuit on, or in a car compression leaks can cuz dampness in wool.  Cuz wool works best without something over it.  So I decided this will be our out and about cover. 

However, as expected, my Honey loves it.  Thankfully I know more about the ins and outs if cloth diapering.  So I let him use it over night.  Well nothing is better at night then wool.  So now he sees the light, and gets it, everything has its place.  I am anxiously waiting for winter to end (its March 22nd, but here in Ontario we are still well below freezing with snow on the ground),  when spring comes wool won't be covered by a snowsuit in the stroller.  That taffeta cover will still be good for our non wool outfits or a long long day out and about.

The Kushies taffeta diaper wrap has a lot to like. The taffeta (TPU) functions much like PUL but it is thinner and breathable.  Not as breathable as wool, but more then PUL.  I always preferred it to PUL for this reason.  It functions as well as PUL in being water proof.  It isn't lined so you can wipe and reuse.  It has double gussests which are great leak protectors.  It has a ruffled elastic waist which is great for leak barriers and wicking preventions.  It is Velcro.  I hate snaps cuz I'm incompetent at doing them up, so I like the Velcro and since this doesn't need to be washed with each use it has (in my past experience) held up well.  In the past I always hung these to dry (and will again).  TPU is much lighter the PUL and dries pretty quickly.  Since I have a pile of wool I wash each week. I'm thinking I'll hand wash this at the same time.  Not that it needs hand washing but it won't be extra work to do so when I'm washing my wool.  So I figure I might as well.  

So thanks SIL, it is nice to have one tpu cover for when the day or outfit calls for it, and thanks Kushies for making more sizes.
