Abrazo Diaper Cover

Revolutionary Hook & Loop Closure Cover. There is nothing else like it out there, and we are excited!

Designed right here in-house, with care and attention to every detail. I personally diapered my own kids and spent 13 years working on this design.

Full Night-Time Solution which is also trim enough to use during the day, plus ADJUSTABLE so it changes with your diapering routine as well as the growth and changes in your baby.

Abrazo means Ebrace in Spanish. Embrace the future of Diapering with the Bumby Abrazo

Adjustable

Fold Down Rise. Inside you will find another set of soft “Loop” to fold down the rise a size.

Cross over waist closures with large front “Loop” to allow for over 3″ difference between settings.

4 Size System

Small fits about Newborn to Small
Medium fits about Small to Medium
Large fits about medium to Large
XL fits about Large to XL

Easy Care

Like all of our wool, the Abrazo is machine washable. We recommend cool water wash with Unicorn Beyond Clean & rinsed with Unicorn Beyond Soft to keep your wool soft, clean and healthy.

We also included washing tabs, sewn right on the closure tabs so you will never lose them. They are also great for diaper changes to keep the velcro clean and not stick to anything.

No Elastics

The first things to need replacement on diapers and cover is the Elastic, Snaps and “velcro” or Hook & Loop.

Wool cuffs so no elastic
No Snaps
Hook & Loop is applied last so very easy to replace or repair

Hidden Secrets

Hidden Inside Access

Upon opening your Abrazo for the first time you, will find a secret treasure! Better than the treasures you will find after using it a few times, it is a diaper as we know.

Not so secret inside access! ok, its a hole inside. At first glance it might look like we just forgot to sew it closed, but its intentional, and made me feel like a made genius too.

Triple reasoning

Dries Faster
- Blow a fan in there
- Prop it open over something
Washes Better
- You can get your hand in there and scrub a bit
- It rinses better
- It allows you to get into the corners if you need
Stuffable
- add additional absorbency

Hidden “turned” Seams

The Abrazo cover is a “turned” style cover where the serging is hidden inside. It is the only item we are able to make in this format and we are excited about it. Some have more sensative skin and this reduces chances for irritation.

The sizing is based on our Traditional Diaper Cover sizing chart.

Fold Down Rise

The abrazo has a fold down rise system. For an example the medium folds down to a small rise

Adjustable Tabs

The Hook & Loop tabs adjust the waist from crossed over to near the outer hips giving more than 3" difference in the waist setting.

How to Measure

A really easy way to measure is to use existing pants that fit well. They don’t move around nearly as much as a squirmy baby!

Night-time diapers are usually bigger, so it is a good idea to take that into account

Check our chat group on Facebook. You will probably find someone with similar measurements or sizing to chat with and get ideas.

The wool is stretchy and forgiving.

Small Approx Fit

5lbs to 15 lbs
Newborn to 6 months
Rise is 15.5″ to 12.5″ folded down

Medium Approx Fit

9 lbs to 25 lbs
Newborn to 1 year
Rise is 18″ to 15″ folded down

Large Approx Fit

15 lbs to 35 lbs
6 months 3 year
Rise is 20″ to 17″ folded down

XL Approx Fit

20 lbs to 50 lbs
12 months to 5 years
Rise is 22″ to 19″ folded down

RISE

Rise is the measurement through the crotch along the belly and bum.

The rise of a diaper is the same when off or on a baby. Take this measurement and add 4″. This gives 2″ front and back for the waistband to sit above the diaper.

WAIST

The waist measurement fluctuates a lot throughout the day on babies. I have seen even as much as 2″ difference. Measure on the skin above the diaper and aim for 2-4 or so inches smaller for the wool so they don’t fall down as easily.

HIPS

Hips are measured around the widest part of the bum where the top of the diaper hits at the upper thigh.

The measurement on the chart is the “cut” measurement, and stretches at a lot and pretty forgiving.

TIPS

XS – Smaller newborns

Small – Newborn to about 8 months

Medium – 3 months to about 12 months (or more*)

Large – 8 months to end of diapers

XL – 1 year to end of diapers

*My kids had trim diapers and little bums so never outgrew mediums

Current Cozy Colours

View our google images album with Videos and Images of all the colours to help you see them better.

Fully Stocked Colours

Cozy Interlock – Heavy Weight (CHW) So nice and soft and stretchy with a slight bouncy loft to it. Fluffy soft fuzzy finish. The most similar to “Fuzzy” wool many are familar with.

Note for the Striped and Melange – Textured look without the textured feel.

Neutrals

Tie Dyes

ROYGBIV

Half stock getting low

Half of the inventory is gone, we can make anything we offer, but act fast before it goes.

Very low stock

These colour can make most of our pants, xl youth might be cutting it close. Cuffs, waists and smaller parts of sweaters, but not a full size adult sweater.

Current Durasoft Colours

All Colours are small batch dyed in-house with low impact dyes.
Our Merino Wool Interlock Fabric is exclusively milled for us in Quebec, Canada.
OEKO-Tex Certified 95% Merino Wool / 5% lycra blend yarn.
Our colours sell out fast and are replenished often. There is no set schedule we really have fun with this!
Why is this seperated? - Adult sweaters use a lot of wool so when colours start to run low we can better manage them.
The Durasoft Extra Heavy Weight wool is a bit too heavy for adult sweaters as well.

Durasoft - Extra Heavy Weight (DS)
Mill Date Feb 2022
Fully Stocked Colours

This wool is similar to our NEW and Hybrid Play wool types because it has a more flat durable feel to the fabric. It is still soft, no scratchy wool found here. Great for heavier play because twigs and dirt should more easily brush off. Also great for knee protection.

This wool is the heaviest we have had. It will be a great super soaker for nights. It has really nice stretchy to it, more so that the NEW did. Our testers found that is stretched nicely.

1 review for Wool Diaper Cover – Abrazo

Rated 4 out of 5

Naomi (verified owner) – March 6, 2022

This was very beautiful and very high quality with an innovative design. The only single reason it got 4 stars from me is that my baby conquered the Velcro closure on this by the time she reached a year

Step by Step guild to Lanolizing your Bumby Wool

Wool Care

Keeping it simple

We already shrunk it anyways

Machine wash wool?

I know that sounds wrong but lets talk about this
Our wool is felted or shrunk already
It is harder to rinse by hand
It easier and works by machine
It actually gets clean

It is cloth diaper safe
Unscented
Wool and fine fiber safe
Made in the USA
Highly concentrated
1 tiny TBSP does a whole load of wool
We recommend pre-dissolving it before adding to the machine

We recommend Washing with Unicorns

Doesn’t that sound like a dream? Well lets make it a reality. We have partnered with Unicorn Laundry Care products because they are the best product I have found for our wool. Find a retailer near you or in our shop.

And rinse some more

Our wool is thick and soft and likes to hold fluid. Which means it will hold onto soap and detergent unless it is rinsed and washed well. So we highly recommend using not only very little soap, but also to rinse well.

Unicorn Beyond Soft in a natural Fabric Conditioner. It helps keeps the fibers soft and healthy.

WASH

Step 1 Dissolve 1 TBSP of Unicorn Beyond Clean in some water

Step 2 Add wool to your washing machine

Step 3 Add dissolved detergent to the dispenser

Step 4 Turn on washer to Cool setting (use wool setting or lower spin)

RINSE

Do a secondary rinse cycle, aka rinse and spin with pre-dissolved Beyond Soft Conditioner.

We also recommend doing this every so often to refresh your wool between washes. It removed light soiling and neutralized salts

Lanolize

The Easy Way

and it works

Why Use Lanolin?

Adds waterproof protection
Increases anti-bacterial properties
Conditions wool fibers
Fanastic on our skin

What is Lanolin?

Lanolin is a naturally occurring wax found in wool fiber. It is cleaned out of the wool during processing the fibers for fabric and yarn. We only use the purest pharmaceutical grade lanolin. Lanolin conditions the wool fibers and gives the waterproof protection we love about wool. Lanolin also increases the wool’s anti-bacterial properties to help your diaper cover self-clean between uses and naturalize urine.

Handcrafted in-house

Use our Emulsion Blocks to create a lanolin rich bath to reintroduce this amazing natural goodness into your wool. Click the rest of the tabs for more information on how to use them.

Made even easier

You can also use our pre-emulsified Ready to Use Lanolin Blend to make it even easier! Made with all natural ingredients to take away the guesswork. Super rich, with at least 25% lanolin in the mixture.

Spray and Go

Want something for on the go or between washing. Use our pre-mixed Lanolin Rich Spray. Helps boost the wool performance without the wait.

Prepare

Three SIMPLE INGREDIENTS

grab your wool and let's get started

Three Simple Ingredients

Lanolin – we find solid works best
Emulsifier – we make some really great Blocks
Water – we recommend distilled

Ok you need a bowl too…

You can also use our Ready to Use Blend, and just add water!

MIX

Dance & shake

this is actually kinda fun

Try a couple ways to see what works best for you

Basic Steps

Heat some water
Add Emulsifier
Add Lanolin
Pour it into a bowl
Add a bit more water

1 Heat some Water

About half a glass and not super hot
Some find if the water is too hot or too cool it doesn’t work too well
I like to microwave in a little mason jar
Water is more important than many realize.
Lanolin will not emuslfiy in some wate types.
If you are struggling, use distilled water. A big bottle is only $1 in many stores.
Even filtered water adds minerals and things that can cause issues.

2 Add Emulsifier

Our Block are designed to emusify lanolin
Partially dissolve a block in the hot water
If you used a mason jar, you can shake it
It works better if you dance a bit
Some people use baby soap with mixed results
It’s a good idea to “burp” your lid a bit so it doesn’t spray at you like a to go coffee cup
You can just use a spoon too

3 Add Lanolin

Add some lanolin
1 block does about 1 tablespoon of lanolin
You can always add more so don’t panic
Shake some more
Don’t forget to make sure the lid is on there tight
You can remove excess Emulsion Block and save for later
We need a nice suspension but it doesn’t have to be perfect
If you have big lumps, you might want to try distilled water
If you used distilled water, then you might need more emulsion block in there.

1+2+3 = Ready to Use instead

You can also use our pre-emulsified Ready to Use Lanolin Blend to make it even easier!
Made with all natural ingredients to take away the guesswork.
Super rich, with at least 25% lanolin in the mixture.

dip

Always inside out

You don't need to soak

Aim for the “wetzone”

Add some mixture to a bowl
Add some water
Swish & scrunch 1 at a time
Repeat

1 Add Emulsion

Add 1 tbs of your emulsion to a bowl
You might realize by now I don’t like to measure much
You can always repeat this so just add a bit
This process also lets the mixture cool a bit
I like using glass because its easier to clean

2 Add Water

Add about half a cup of water
Your tap water might be like mine and work really well
If your mixture is breaking, use distilled
Mix well

3 Dip Wool

You Wool should be inside out
Scrunch it around in there
It can be damp or dry
It should be clean
At least rinse it first if it has been used
You don’t need to leave it to soak
Lanolin adheres quickly to wool fibers
Soaking is just soaking in soap water

4 Turn right side out

Turn your wool right side out
Gently masssage the lanolin into the fibers a bit
Gently squeeze excess water back into the bowl
Lay on a towel or on a drying rack but it will drip

5 Repeat

Repeat the process with all your wool
Start with lighter colours
Add more of the mixture you made as you go
Repeat the same garments if it needs more lanolin
You have so much control over how much lanolin is going in each piece

rinse

Leave the Lanolin

Remove the soap

This is a new idea for many

Imagine washing your clothes and not rinsing them
Soap residue is damaging for all fibers including wool
The lanolin is stuck in there nicely
Use Unicorn Beyond Soft to up the softness even more
Rinse in the sink & spin in the machine is my prefered method
It also lets them dry so much faster too

Why Bumby Wool?

Tempurature

Wool has been used for centuries in all climates. It keeps you warm in the winter and cool in the heat. Reducing night sweats and rashes

Breathable

Wool is a naturally breathable fiber reducing rashes and keeping baby dry.

Pre-shrunk

Our in-house proprietary dyeing process not only gives us stunning colours but also pre-treats the wool making it machine washable.

Handmade

We had craft every item in our workshop. Each item is lovingly cut and sewn by our team. We appreciate your business and love doing what we do.

Super absorbent

Wool sops up humidy and moisture and it also repells it. Its called a miracle fiber by many. The lanolin helps the wool repel fluids back to the diaper, then as it becomes too much it absorbs a tremendous amount before feeling damp.

Adorable

Our stuff is adorable. It really is. Come join our Flock and you can see all of the custom made items we have made over the years. Our brand is more than clothing, its about family.
