Our Wool Story

We speak from experience! When I returned home from the hospital with my gorgeous baby daughter, she developed a severe nappy rash within a few days. My husband and I tried every cream on the market to treat it, but nothing worked. Desperate, I contacted our doctor, who prescribed a cream containing a small amount of cortisol, but that didn't help either. As a mother, natural products are extremely important to me, so I began searching for a natural alternative. By this point, my daughter had been suffering from the nappy rash for over two weeks, and I was getting extremely worried.

That's when I came across the idea of using lanolin, a natural waxy substance that can be found on wool. I had read about the positive effects of lanolin before, so we ordered wool from a local sheep farmer here in Ireland. To our utter amazement, our daughter's nappy rash was almost completely healed within two days. We honestly couldn't believe it! It was incredible.

Since our daughter's nappy rash, we have relied solely on our Irish nappy wool to prevent future occurrences. We don't use any creams or other products—just the nappy wool. She hasn't had a nappy rash since.

With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I have encountered many parents struggling to alleviate their baby's severe nappy rash. My husband and I realized that Nappy Wool needed to be introduced in the UK and Ireland, and thus, our Nappy Wool brand was born. We are a family-run business driven by heart and passion.

Nappy wool has changed our lives. We tried countless of creams on our daughter's nappy rash. Since we started using our Irish nappy wool, our daughter hasn't had a nappy rash.
