Pooters Diapers On February 17, 2019

@Daniela – you only need to do this method when your wool is noticeably shrunken. You can do it other times as well, it won’t hurt the diaper, but typically, most people only need to do it when someone has accidentally tossed the wool cover in the washing machine (for example). Hope that helps.

Do you recommend doing this procedure on a regular basis (every two or three months) or only when the shrinkage is very noticeable?
