My wife told me to bid on Ebay for wool diaper covers for our baby
that will be arriving in about a month.
I checked on Ebay, and only seem to find them sold as singles, and
they seem to be running $15 or more.
Can anyone suggest a place where you can buy several, and they are
not treated as "specialty items" - with the associated high price?
I thought we would be able to find them in a multi pack for about $8
or $9 each, but so far I haven't found any luck.

Just for curious, why do you want such things? I would have killed for today's
disposable diapers 40 years ago!

My grandma used to knit woollen soakers. They were a very WW II thing.
All 5 of us had soakers pulled on over our cloth diapers. They are
dead easy to knit.
I used plastic pants pulled on over diaper-service cloth diapers.
I hear that there is now a diaper-free movement (no pun intended.) How
green can you get, eh?

There are still patterns out there for them, too.
I just double-diapered my children (making a half-twist to go between
the legs to reduce horizontal bulk) who had extra-sensitive skin and I
didn't need soakers, but I bought top-quality cloth diapers.

Whoa, I missed this thread. I probably still have some somewhere
around here from when our daughter was born in '99... still need
any?
