    wool soakers or shorties

    can someone help me out an PM me some places (or googable words) to buy wool soakers and/or, if they are ok to be worn overnight, shorties.

    Or even some advice?

    WRT soakers I want the sort with the slightly longer leg holes (I hope tht makes sense, I need it to be OK for night wearing, over a large VBSN. DS weighs about 13kg at a guess (was 12.1 @ 18mths, 21 mths old now and porky )

    I have seen a few sites but most have nothing in stock or are made to order.

    Are the BB wool covers (not the soakers) suitable for overnight or woulds a VBSN be too bulky to have under these? what about their knitted soakers?

    I'd preferably like to get something pre-lanolised, ASAP, otherwise I'd have some made.

    ETA: or a stacinator deluxe fleece, they say the're good for heavy wetters overnight? anyone got any experience?

    How did you go RayRay?
    I found that the BB wool wrap worked ok overnight. Isla was always try BUT I always had a wee smell. Now I use soakers (bought & homemade) and I don't have any leaks & no smell. I like wool much better then any other cover option. I was teaching myself to knitt but it takes so dam long I think I will get my nan to fisih off the project i started LOL.

    Thanks FinaJill. I am still waiting for my night nappies to arrive.
    I've decided to keep looking (weewuns got in the size soaker I need 1 day after my order was posted!) and have a go at DIY. The knitting part should be OK, its the finisheing part I will suck at!

    Ray - PM me your address and I'll send you one I have here that is lanolised.
    Jenna doesn't need them, and I doubt Hamish will ever be big enough to wear it (given he is well below growth curves.....)
