| I got a phone call from these folks a few weeks ago, with a promise to
send info in the mail, which they have not sent. I used cloth diapers
and Nikkis with my first child 3 yrs. ago so I'm curious to know what
Cottontails are like.
I'm also curious to know what mailing list they got my name from, to
know that I'm expecting another one!

| 842.2 | Looking for those cute diaper covers | GRANMA::DHOWARD | He who laughs, lasts! | Mon Apr 22 1991 17:31 | 17 |
| Speaking of diapers, I've decided to go with a diaper service for this
baby (due in July). What I'm looking for and am having trouble finding
are the adorable diaper covers that are cotton on the outside with cute
prints, and plastic on the inside with velcro fasteners. I live in
Maryland, and while I remember seeing them in Calverts in the Boston
area, I have had no luck in finding the same quality and assortment
around here. (Could be I'm looking in the wrong places!).
In any case, a phone number of a distributor that may have a catalog or
just a lead on a store to call would put me leaps ahead from where I am
now!
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dale

| re: .2
I use Diaperaps, that sound pretty much like what you are looking for.
They are cotton outside, nylon inside, with Velcro closures. They come
in solid colors, and pretty prints, and on Saturday I saw new ones -
pink or blue stripes like the disposables!
The company is in Southern California and I have purchased through the
mail as well as in local stores. I don't have the ordering information
with me but I'll get it for you tonight. We have used them for 8
months now and I'd recommend them highly.

Mail order prices are much lower than dept stores. JC Penney carries
some of them, also a local baby store. Don't know about Maryland, but
you can call and find out.

another possibility:
The Right Start Catalog (1-800-548-8531)
They have the diaper wraps you described (I think they're Diaperaps, they don't
list brand names). Price $8.95 each.

| 842.6 | Try your local service | CSC32::M_EVANS | | Tue Apr 23 1991 13:14 | 5 |
| One more possibility is to call your diaper service. Mine had
information on diaperwraps and where to get them and also had some in
the newborn size available.

| 842.7 | Biobottoms or Nikkis | WR1FOR::BREAZEACA | | Tue Apr 23 1991 14:08 | 19 |
| Biobottoms in Petaluma, California (mail order) carries the wool or
cotton diaper wraps that you lay a folded cloth diaper in. Then the
close with velcro. Nice because you don't have to take their pants and
shoes all the way off to get the clean one on. 707-778-7168.
We have also used Nikkis with either a cloth diaper folded inside or
the Dovetails, which are biodegradable rectangles that lay inside the
Nikki. Nikkis are diaperwraps that come two ways - one is cloth on the
outside and waterproof polyester inside and the other is just straight
polyester (waterproof). We like the straight waterproof polyester.
they seem to leak the least of any, including Biobottoms. We order
those from the Family Club House and I don't have a phone number for
them here at work. Will type in tomorrow. By the way, both companies
ship very quickly - I sent a check to Family Club House and it seems
like the case of Dovetails came in three days! I used them when we
went on trips instead of cloth.

| 842.8 | Nikkis wool diaper covers | PHAROS::PATTON | | Tue Apr 23 1991 14:38 | 11 |
| Just a comment on Nikkis - they also make a 2-layer 100% wool
felt diaper cover that really keeps kids dry. I used these for
2.5 years with my son and was really happy with them.
Upside: breathable (cuts down on diaper rash); actually cooler
than the ones with synthetics; very good at keeping clothing dry
even when the diaper inside is soaked.
Downside: expensive, and ideally should be handwashed.

| 842.10 | Gerber wraps are good. | WONDER::BAKER | | Wed May 01 1991 12:12 | 8 |
| I use the Gerber diaper wraps and have had good luck with them. They
don't have any cotton but I haven't had any rash problems. I have
had bad luck with the Diaperwraps brand because the velcro doesn't hold
and always opens up. Maybe it is an immitation brand, but I thought
it was the real thing.
Cheers,
Karin
