FAQs about our products
Which nappy should I choose?
Basically, Mata Origin offers 2 different sizes for their nappies:
- Babysize
- Crawler
Babysize: These can be used from birth and fit until around 4 months or 7kg (depending on the baby’s build, this can be shorter or longer).
Crawler: We recommend these from around 4 months or as soon as the baby can roll over independently, up to the end of the diaper phase (approximately 2 years).
Also, check out our new addition to the Mata Origin range – the "extra dry" nappies: Thanks to the special manufacturing process of the extra dry interior fabric made from 100% organic merino wool, the diaper stays drier for longer and requires even less greasing.
How are the nappies sized?
Please buy the currently fitting size. Wool is stretchy and adapts to your baby's build. The Mata Origin cowboy pants fit at least three sizes. There is an elastic band at the bottom of the waistband and at the opening, which you can adjust in length through an opening. This allows you to perfectly adjust the pants to your baby. Don't be worried if the pants feel a bit tight at first; they stretch significantly and will grow with your baby for a long time.
Can I combine the Mata Origin nappies with pants, which aren't the cowboypants?
Yes, the Mata Origin nappy can also be worn under a "normal" pair of pants, making the elimination process easier. The fastest and easiest method is to combine it with the Mata Origin Cowboy Pants.
How do I properly wash wool clothing?
Wool is naturally self-cleaning and antibacterial. It does not need to be washed after contact with urine. Simply let the clothing dry, let it outside in the fresh air and brush off any dirt. Only wash it if that is no longer sufficient.
Use wool detergent, hand wash or wool wash cycle up to 30°C. Spin at a maximum of 800 revolutions per minute. Do not dry in the tumble dryer.
Once you have received the nappy, you can use it immediately. Afterward, it should be greased approximately every 4 weeks after washing.
The pants and all other wool garments can also be greased. This makes them even more urine-repellent and nourishes the wool.
How durable is wool clothing?
Wool clothing is generally very durable – this is one of the wonderful properties of wool. However, it also depends on how intensely a garment is used. For example, if only a single pair of pants or diaper is worn continuously, wear and tear will naturally show up more quickly.
To ensure your wool clothing lasts as long as possible, we recommend using 2-3 pairs of pants and 2-3 diapers in rotation.
Do I have to pratice EC even by night?
You can freely decide in every situation whether EC is appropriate or not. Elimination communication can contribute to a more peaceful sleep at night, but it’s not necessary to do it all the time.
What matters is that you do what feels right for you. Move away from dogma – and embrace ease :) For more information, check out the online video course "Windelfrei leicht gemacht".
What do I need, if I want to practice EC on the way?
- a small potty
- a replacable nappy
- insert diapers
- changing mat or small baby blanket
- a portion of love and patiente (:

Hey!
I am Magdalena, mother of two children and the founder of Mata Origin. For me, doing EC is much more than "just" the most natural way. EC means dignity! It is a dignified response to the competence and needs of the child, as well as to the competence and potential of the parents. Embarking on this path means embarking on a journey to oneself, and that is what I love so much!
