Furnishing

In order to be able to practice diaper-free as easily as possible, you need practical equipment. There are now many different manufacturers of diaper-free clothing. Here you can find diaper-free clothing made from natural materials. The properties of wool make diaper-free use easy and requires little effort in everyday life.

Mata Origin initial equipment:

• 3 baby size nappy covers (1 is for your baby, one is in the laundry, 1 is ready for you to change)
• 30 absorbent pads (XKKO BIRDEYE 50x50 size S are the best. But you can also cut some out of old towels or bed linen or use half muslin cloths.)
• 1-2 hold-up rompers day/night
• 1-2 cowboy weaning pants (from about 5 weeks, as the body tension is still so low at the beginning - weaning with the onesie is simply easier)
• 1 small Mata Origin potty for at home and on the go (from around 4-6 months I also recommend the Easypisi potty for at home and at night)
• 1 Mata Origin wool blanket (you will never want to wrap your baby in anything other than this wool blanket!! – it will accompany you while sleeping, carrying, breastfeeding, in the stroller, at night, on the go,...!)
• 1 miracle brush for brushing (cleaning) woolen clothing
