It has been a TOO LONG since I got my hands on some wool. When I was cloth diapering my babies we used a combo of Sloomb wool and Humbird wool. But, earlier in 2021, Bumby Wool launched a new cloth diaper cover that I just had to check out – especially because Bumby Wool is machine washable.
And guys, the Abrazo cover is delightful. If you’re tired of pulling on wool pants and covers and looking for something that can fasten around baby but still give you that woolie awesome-ness, the Bumby Abrazo wool cover is the choice for you.
Now if you’re looking for something trimmer, something more like a PUL cover that you can use with snap-in inserts then you need to check out the Puppi Wool diaper cover.

Bumby Wool Covers
You can purchase the traditional pull-on wool diaper covers from Bumby Wool, much like this one from Humbird Wool I reviewed a few years ago. The Bumby Wool covers can be customized in many ways including addition of ruffles, length modifications and colour combos.
I had a solid purple colour sent to me, but you can customize the body colour, the waist colour, and leg cuff colour to create a wool diaper cover that represents you or your child.
Available in five sizes from XS to XL, I have the Small. For many family’s wool diaper covers can last a little longer than clothing – they are stretchy and not so form fitting as clothes. You would likely use a small from babyhood to about 15-20lbs, medium from 20-30lbs, and maybe need the large. But of course, the child really varies. I know sometimes wool pricing stresses out families, and I felt that too, but there really is more give than traditional clothing.
About the Bumby Wool Abrazo Diaper Cover
After years of development searching for the perfect pattern and accessories this revolutionary diaper cover dropped onto the market in 2021 providing parents with a wrap-on wool diaper cover.
Yes, finally a machine-washable wool diaper cover that wraps on, instead of pull on. Because sometimes you don’t’ want to use pull on covers and wish you could just wrap and fasten.
The magic of the Abrazo Diaper Cover is the hook & loop closure providing a better than Velcro experience because the hook wont snag the wool.
The Abrazo Diaper Cover features
- Available in four different sizes
- Fold-down rise setting for extended sizing.
- Washing tabs for the hook & loop
- Double layer wool
- Adjustable size and fit
- Goes on like a PUL diaper cover, but the comfort of wool
- Inside pocket can be used for additional boost of absorbency or protection.
- Soft leg seams – no elastics, no snaps, all wool
Abrazo Diaper Cover Review
Seriously, this thing is amazing. If I was to cloth diaper again, it would be with newborn fitted diapers and wool diaper covers because this system offers absorbency, natural fiber awesome-ness and supports locally manufactured products.
This diaper cover could be used without lanolin. It’s double layers of wool through the body, and for many kids you might not need the lanolin to reduce wicking. If you do, focus on adding lanolin to the inside of the diaper, or into the pocket. Targetting your lanolin application is key.
Machine washable wool is another game changer. Back in 2015, knit wool was all the rage, but it’s time to say goodbye to our knits and hello to the wonder of interlock wool. Stephanie has already dyed, and washed, and rinsed and treated this wool with hot water. You can’t mess it up. Toss in with your next load of laundry if you want. Or you can continue to hand wash.
I love the fold down rise setting provides a wider size adjustment to the product, and I really appreciate the overall design and shape. This is a phenomenal product in hand, and it thoroughly excites me as a user.

Recommendation
If you’re looking for a new take on the wool diaper cover, this is the must-have choice for parents. Wool is such an incredible fiber and it thrills me to see innovation and new takes on this product.
However, because I didn’t get to use this on my child, I don’t have much feedback on fit and long-term use. I have shared an XL with a local mom to check out and encouraged her to use. We’ll collect the feedback about her experience in the coming weeks.
