Quick answer
Place a Disana Silk Liner directly against your baby's skin inside a wool diaper cover. The silk layer wicks moisture and its natural properties can help soothe existing rash. These liners do not add absorbency, so pair them with a prefold or flat for full protection.
Why silk and wool work together
Wool diaper covers are breathable and naturally antimicrobial, but they don't have a stay-dry layer. A silk liner adds a smooth, moisture-wicking barrier between baby's skin and the absorbent fabric underneath. This combo is especially helpful during naps or overnight when baby is in a wet diaper longer.
Silk liners are not doublers. They do not increase absorbency. Their job is skin contact and comfort, not holding liquid. If you need more absorbency, add a cotton or hemp doubler under the liner.
How to use silk liners with wool covers
- 1. Prepare the liner: Wash new Disana Silk Liners before first use. Hand wash in cool water with a mild wool-safe soap, then air dry. Expect slight shrinkage — the liner will still cover the diaper area. Never use fabric softener or bleach; they damage silk fibers.
- 2. Lay the liner on the diaper: Place the silk liner flat on top of your absorbent diaper (prefold, flat, or fitted). Center it lengthwise so it covers the entire diaper area from front to back. If the liner shifts during wear, try tucking the edges under the diaper or using a Snappi to hold it in place.
- 3. Put the diaper on baby: Fold the diaper and liner together, then secure with your wool cover. The silk should be the only layer touching baby's skin. Make sure the liner doesn't bunch up around the legs — that can cause leaks.
- 4. Change and rinse: At each diaper change, remove the silk liner and rinse it in cool water. Do not wring — gently squeeze. Lay flat to dry between uses. If the liner has dried urine or stool, hand wash it with a mild soap before reuse.
- 5. Deep clean as needed: Every few days, hand wash all used liners together in cool water with a wool-safe soap. Rinse thoroughly, squeeze out excess water, and air dry. Over-washing reduces the silk's natural lanolin — wash only when soiled or after several uses.
