Can you ship to countries outside Canada and the US?
Due to diverse shipping rates  we are unable to provide automatic payment for countries outside Canada and the US. International buyers should contact us for shipping rates and payment options by e-mailing 
sales@aristocratsbabyproducts.com. You should keep in mind, however, that customs duties may be applied to your shipment when it arrives in your country; we have no control over these.

Shipping is by Canada Post Expedited Mail for all North American orders.

How long before I receive my shipment?
We ship within 2 to 3 days of receiving orders. Within Canada, allow an additional 5 to 12 days for delivery. In the U.S., allow an additional 1 to 2 weeks.

Can I machine wash my Aristocrats Diaper Covers?
NO! Gentle handwashing only is recommended for all our wool products. Felting and shrinkage of wool fibres will result from excess friction, especially when the fabric is wet. However, unless soiled, your Aristocrats Diaper Covers will usually only require laundering about every 1-2 weeks.

How should I wash my Aristocrats Diaper Covers?

  • Hand wash in lukewarm water, 37°C (98°F)
  • Use soap powder, mild soap, baby shampoo or wool wash
  • Gently squeeze garment, do not rub or wring. Add 1 Tbsp. vinegar to last rinse.
  • Roll in towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Hang dry away from strong heat or sunlight.
  • Lifespan and performance of the diaper cover will be enhanced by adding lanolin. Dissolve 1/8 of a teaspoon in hot water and add to last rinse. This only needs to be done occasionally.

Where can I buy lanolin?
Try your nearest drugstore/pharmacy.

Do I need to lanolize my Aristocrats Diaper Covers before I use them?
No, you do not need to lanolize your Aristocrats Diaper Covers before use. In fact, you should only need to lanolize them very occasionally e.g. 3 - 4 times per year. The best rule of thumb is probably to lanolize if/when you notice a cover seems to be losing its absorbency. This should not be very often but, of course, will vary considerably depending on individual use. (Which is why we cannot give a precise schedule for lanolizing.)

How do I lanolize my Aristocrats Diaper Covers?
Dissolve 1/8 of a teaspoon in hot water and add to last rinse. This only needs to be done occasionally.

Why does my new Aristocrats Diaper Cover leak?
There are several reasons why this may happen:
1) The diaper being used is not thick enough. 
2) The diaper is new and needs several washes in order to become absorbent. 
3) The diaper is not entirely covered by the wool pant. 
4) The clothing is too tight (this will cause osmotic leaking). 
5) The wool pant is not entirely dry. 
6) When the wool pant is new, it sometimes needs washing before it will work at optimal capacity.

Do I need to wash my Aristocrats Diaper Covers before use?
Although they do not actually need to be washed before use, their performance is generally enhanced by washing. Indeed, should you experience any problems, these will generally be quickly resolved after the first wash.
