Oh darl give em a go! I was hesitant like you but thought what the hell and brought a pair of longies. WOW! The wool soaks up 30% of its weight in liquid. So the wee not only evaporates but the wool absorbs it. And it doesn't smell! I air mine out in between uses and they get washes maybe once every 10 wears, sometimes more. I have about 14 pairs so it helps. i have had to wash 2 times in the 6 months I have been using them lol
They really DO work. I use them under PJ pants and all. Give em a try
I wash mine by hand, just fill up the nappy bucket with water and wool wash and throw them in and leave for 10 minutes. Come back, swish swish and pull em out Done! Lay them flat on some towels to dry.
