I’m going to be a first time grandma, and this gift was on the list. Ordered them and they are so soft but will be durable. Can’t wait to see the Bean wearing them :)
Aw, congrats Grandma! We'd love to see pics of little Bean in Lunapaca! Such a beautiful gift for your grandbaby and their parents. Thank you for supporting their cloth diapering journey with all natural fibers.
TLDR:
We are a very sensitive skin and rash prone family so we wanted something really breathable and wool wasn't an option for us. LunaPaca uses high quality materials that are hypoallergenic allowing us to reduce the possibility of rashes and hopefully last through multiple children as our family grows.
There are many different reasons people choose to cloth diaper and many variables that go into choosing a cloth diapering system that will be different for each family. My husband and I decided on flats and prefolds mainly due to their customizable fit and quick drying times. I have asthma, eczema, and allergies and my husband is allergic to wool so we just figured plastic diaper covers were our only option. We also purchased a few Esembly outers as well which are lovely, but these LunaPaca covers are just EXTRAORDINARY to us. We prefer them for a few reasons over polyester covers including:
- They are more breathable than plastic diaper covers which helps reduce the possibility rashes. We also got the undyed colors because some fabric dyes can cause my eczema to flare.
- Due to my husbands wool allergy, wool diaper covers weren't an option we wanted to try - plus no lanolin needed for these.
- Natural rubber is more durable than synthetic so these elastics will hopefully last us through multiple babies
- Brass is also more durable than plastic so again hopefully the snaps will last us through multiple children as well. *I read there was an issue previously with the snaps early on in the product history but it seems to have been resolved in the more recent batches*
Overall we felt these diaper covers aligned with our specific needs perfectly and after being able to touch, feel, and test out the cover in person we felt the price was justified so we went all in. We love a good "buy it for life" item and I hope I am able to write back in 5-10 years feeling the same way.

I put one of these in my toddlers overnight diapers each night and we have never had a leak!
Yes! 🙌 Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope it gives others courage to try clothing diapering overnight.
We use these for everything! Wipes, bath rags, burp cloth, cleaning messy faces and hands after meals, the list could go on! Very versatile and I love that it’s organic cotton
Yes, absoultely! I really should re-name them 'everything wipes' -- it's so spot on! Thank you for sharing all the ways you use these. I hope it gives others some ideas. :)
I love how simple and effective the Soak is for cleaning the covers
Absolutely! I had no idea how easy handwashing could be until I discovered SOAK. It's also great for natural-fiber sweaters and kids' lovies.
Love these diaper covers, they’re not kidding when they say you only need two or three to start out with, and they fit our 7lb newborn perfectly, very soft, no animal smell, and clean very easily. I’ve had to hand wash and hang dry about three times so far and they dry suuuuper quickly.
Yay! I'm so glad everything is working well for you and your baby. The dry time is such a surprise, especially if you're familiar with wool. Congrats on cloth diapering a newborn -- I hope your review encourages others to give it a try it! Thank you for your review. :)
I had seen these all over Instagram and decided I had to give them a try. They are SO SOFT, so easy to clean, dry fairly quickly & are just awesome! No leaks yet on my 10 day old! I’m loving them!
Awesome! Congrats on your success cloth diapering a newborn! Thanks for sharing, I hope your story encourages others to jump in and give it a try right from the start.
Pretty effective. Easy to clean
Hello! Thank you for leaving such a sweet review. I appreciate your feedback and hope your little one enjoys wearing it. Have a great day!
These are great just as discribed. Having breathable and sustained use really makes cloth diapers more pleasant
Thank you for your comment. Making cloth diapering more joyful is a big part of why we exist. I am so glad we get to serve you and your family with softer, more breathable diapers.
These are so soft! The Lunapaca team is truly amazing!
Thank you sooo much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you love the softness of our Alpaca Diaper Cover. Our team works hard to ensure the highest quality materials are used for our products. We appreciate your support and hope to continue providing you and your little one with the best in comfort. Thanks again!
I love these covers so far. So soft. Everything has been great, good fit to allow enough absorbency to keep the cover from getting wet.
Hi there! Thank you for your review. I'm so happy to hear that you love the softness and fit of the cover. We're also glad to know that the new snap design is working well for you. Keep on enjoying and let us know if you need any assistance. Happy diapering!
Once I got the next size up it has worked wonderfully. I eas using a cover a bit to small. My son has grown so fast it's a bit hard to keep up with. But he should be in the size large for a while and it is holding up great. No leaks.
Thank you for your review! I'm so glad to hear that the larger size has worked wonderfully for your son. Those growth spurts can sure catch us by surprise! Thanks for sharing your success with no leaks -- yay!
As a grandma, I was pleased with the quality of the unbleached fabric and the stitching.
Useful for so many things beyond wipes! Great boosters for absorbency, and at our house we use them as baby wash cloths and even snot rags in a pinch.
These worked beautifully for my newborn! If you’re on the fence about Lunapaca for your newborn, go for it. The alpaca is newborn soft with no pinching. AND perfect for newborn photos!
I love these covers!!! They’re soft, stylish, and very comfortable for my baby.
I have waited a long time to get these undyed covers as they have been out of stock. Finally a restock was coming! I set my alarm and was able to order them. They just came in and WOWWWWW they are absolutely beautiful and so soft... words don't do it justice. We're expecting our first babe in a month or two and I can't wait to use them. I'm pretty certain babe will be wearing nothing but these covers 90% of the time. :)
This is my second purchase! I was so surprised at how dry the covers were when I saw how damp my essembly inners were. I use with be purchasing each size - even my husband is a fan.
The alpaca materials softness is beyond what I expected, especially for it being wool. The care instructions are simple, and instead of having to do all the things just to get it waterproof you can just work with the natural oils and water resistance of the wool. I love supporting local small businesses, of course and this quality is exceptional!
