GEN-Y Universal Covers

 

 

The GEN-Y Universal cover is designed to make your cloth nappying experience easier, simpler, and more fun!
 
The Universal Cover is designed to give you the ultimate in flexibility, as it can be used with almost any type of absorbent nappy including, inserts, prefolds, fitted nappies, disposable inserts....you name it!
 
GEN-Y covers are uniquely constructed and the outer cotton layer is not laminated directly- so you get all the soft and hard-wearing qualities of cotton, but without the risk of wicking!
 
Specially shaped inner flaps on the front and back work perfectly to hold any lay in or insert in place, and because these are a polyester knit they stay clean and fresh much longer than the cotton/bamboo flaps of other similar nappy designs. In addition, a unique gathered front allows you the room you need to use with fitteds or contour nappies.
 
Inner leg gussets contain anything your child can dish out. Our super soft polyester/ spandex jersey binding is gentle and comfortable against your baby's skin.
 
A snap down rise and highly adjustable legs and waist mean you need just two sizes for the perfect fit from birth to potty.
 
The GEN-Y covers are side-snapping- this makes for superior adjustability across the waist and leg settings- you can snap the waist and the legs exactly where you need to for a perfect fit everytime!  
 
Wipe-clean or air-out inside so you can reuse until soiled. Poly-resin snap closures allow air circulation, are more difficult for your baby to undo, and won't snag or wear out with time.
 
Machine wash/ dry with your other nappies... What's not to love?
 
And even better than all of that- GEN-Y like to keep things fresh, and so release new and unique prints every couple of months! Not only does that make life that little bit more fun, but it also ensures that your covers hold a high re-sale value as parents seek out their desired, but discontinued prints!
  
 

GEN-Y Universal Covers FAQ

Q. I am worried about covers leaving red marks on my child. How gentle is the binding on GEN-Y covers?
A. The binding is a very soft spandex/ polyester jersey. We have found this stretch binding to be one of the gentlest on the market. When your child is in the proper size, red marks should be virtually non existent. Please fasten your GEN-Y covers on the largest leg setting that does not cause visible gaping to ensure that your child has the most comfortable fit. Please note that every child has different skin sensitivities, so we recommend trying one cover to see how it works for you. GEN-Y covers should not be used on children with spandex allergies.
Q. Wait a minute, cotton outer? Doesn't that wick?
A. GEN-Y covers are uniquely constructed so that the PUL layer forms a compete barrier between the absorbent diaper and the cotton outer; so the cotton never comes in contact with wetness. In addition, the gussets on GEN-Y Universal covers are made only of PUL, eliminating compression leaks. These covers stand up to even heavy wetters, even for overnight!
Q. How should I launder my GEN-Y cover?
A. We recommend washing your cover at least once to ensure colour fastness. Wash hot with your regular detergent, tumble dry. Even if you usually hang dry your laundry we recommend putting GEN-Y covers through the dryer at least once a month to increase the life expectancy of the PUL. If laundering along with hook and loop closure products, be sure that all laundry tabs are securely fastened to avoid snagging.
Q. Why is there an extra snap on the bottom of the middle row of rise snaps?
A. When the cover is on the smaller rise setting and you are using it with trim inserts; snapping the middle snap down one farther than the two side snaps takes the extra poof out of the front and makes the cover super trim. When the rise is unsnapped for your larger child, only snap the middle snap to achieve the same effect.
Q. Can I use my Universal cover with another major nappy company's inserts?
A. Yes! This cover was designed to be cross compatible with every brand we could find. Please note that if your inserts are microfibre, you must add a stay dry or natural fibre layer on top to protect you baby's skin (microfibre can be irritating if left in skin contact)
Q. Where are GEN-Y covers manufactured?
A. GEN-Y manufactures all products in the USA. GEN-Y make every attempt to avoid purchasing Chinese made materials.
Q. Can my GEN-Y Universal cover help with learning to use the potty?
A. Yes! When your toddler is ready, use lay in insets or prefolds that are natural fibres so that your little one can feel the wetness better and be more aware of his body. Snap the waist loosely so that your toddler can easily pull the GEN-Y Universal cover up and down himself as he learns how to use the potty!

Oozes Quality
  -  Marie-Helene

We have one GEN-Y Universal cover in Pysanky. It is gorgeous. We have been using and washing it non-stop and the cover still look like new. The colours are still vibrant.

We have never had a leak with the Universal cover and it fits over many different nappies. It is generous and can even accomodate a boosted night-nappy. The elastic is good but gentle on 16 month old's skin. She hasn't woken up with any red marks on her legs, back or tummy. I love that the tummys is elasticated, as usually covers are only elasticated at the legs and back.

It really is a universal cover. I have used it with pad-folded prefolds and inserts laid under the flaps, snappied prefolds and fitted nappies. I also really like that you can take the "poofiness" out of the cover when using a trim insert by snapping the popper down.

The Motherease Airflow had always been my go-to night-time nappy cover, but now I always reach for the GEN-Y Universal or Simplicity covers first as they are just so good. It doesn't rustle like the ME Airflows do. It also has more poppers, therefore more adjustability. We love our GEN-Y Universal cover.

Gen Y Universally Great
  -  Claire

These are just such lovely covers, I use them over flip inserts and bamboozle stretchies and they fit over both. With the flip inserts they are super trim and over the bamboozles they fit just as nicely. I'm so impressed with these covers, I think every stash should have at least one or two of these things.

Fabulous all round...
  -  Pip

Use these with Flip Stay-Drys and they are fantastic. My 9 month old LO is chunky-thighed and it is great that I can set the thigh/waist poppers such that it caters for this. Snug fit without digging in too much and have never had a leak. Only downside is that I am not sure how much longer they will fit round her thighs (in size 2/L already) - though I am sure she will slim into them when she becomes more mobile. Stunning prints - just wish I had more of them.

It Fits!
  -  Katy

I started out on my cloth adventure using Mio wraps and prefolds, this was fine but as babies grow so fast 3 weeks in and were not fitting so great.
My fitted nappies were not getting used as every wrap I could lay my hands on was just not cutting it, leg gaps, or between poppers. I'd just about given up on using my fitteds or prefolds and was about to throw in the nappy and just stick to all in ones, then I saw these here - got to be worth a try I thought...
WOW - perfect fit! Because of the side snaps you can tailor the fit more easily to the shape of your baby, and as I can use prefolds or fitteds it makes use of my whole nappy stash more effectively. It will also free up more space in the nappy bag as I can just throw in a couple of prefolds and a spare wrap and we're set to go! The afore mentioned side snaps did throw me a bit to start with, but with a little experimenting with settings we soon had it sorted. The waist and legs are also slightly elasticated so the fit is snug without being to tight. The gusset in the leg are quite deep, it can easily take a chunky fitted nappy or be well stuffed with a prefold and boosters.
The patterns are lovely, can't wait to get more and even more impressive, the delivery was super fast!

Beautiful
  -  Jennifer

I have a new addiction! These wraps are not just functional, the prints are absolutely stunning. I love how they are limited edition because the re-sell value is so high, I am currently watching US auction sites and seeing discontinued prints sell for $90+ so have managed to convince DH that all my purchases are well and truly an investment! I love the side snaps as can get such a good fit at the waist and thighs and they are also the only nappy or cover that my DS can no longer undo! Really high quality and the binding is really soft. Have not found a nappy that they dont fit well over either. What more can i say, would give them 10 stars if i could!

Leaks constantly!
  -  Jennifer

It'a a shame as I had heard wonderful things about these wraps and for the first time bought NEW instead of preloved for my now 6month old. But all four of the wraps we have are constantly leaking out the of side of her. I can only put one on her if I know she'll be sitting up or laying on her back. I can't use them for naps or bed time as she likes to roll on her side and when she does there's a puddle of pee everywhere. I can't hold her in my lap to feed her because she's slightly to the side and the same happens again. I bought these as I wanted a cuter wrap for all the flips we use but sadly they just sit in the basket never being used because I can't rely on them. I can't sell them right away either because I had to convince hubby that they would be great and would never hear the end of it.

I gave them a 2 instead of a 1 because the prints are just so gorgeous!

Great wrap for my little 3 month baby boy!
  -  Joanna

I started out with flip nappies and although I loved the system, the one size wraps were just too big on my skinny little one. After seeing rave reviews I ordered a Dinomite GEN-Y cover and I have to say I love it - it's thicker than a flip and gives a much better fit on my little boy, I love the side snaps and the fact that the poppers for adjusting the rise are on the fabric between the legs rather than near the waist. It also works really well with my flip stay dry inserts, in the small size the inserts do bunch up a little bit but even with explosive BF poo everything was contained. All around great wrap!

surprised
  -  Annabelle

I'm the least faithful person when it comes to brands. My (my son's!) nappy collection consists of 'one's of' most of the brands out there and i use a mixture of stuffables, 'flip' type nappies and anything else i can get my hands on, so of course I ordered just one of these covers, despite the fact I wanted all of their designs desperately! Well, design apart, Son has worn this cover 3 times already and i'm really happy with its quality and fit, Son has very chunky thighs and a sort of long body but this cover is SO adjustable and fit him so well, lasting right through an evening out without leaks when stuffed with my homemade fleece and towelling pads. The inner holds pads in place really well but i haven't tried with disposable pads yet that tend to be a bit narrower. I gave it a rinse out just to be on the safe side and hung it on the line after we got home and next morning it was bone dry and ready to use again. I may break my habit and buy another one or two (or three) of these covers, the only downside i can think of is the limited availability.

looks bulky, shape not suited to my child
  -  Leanne

I only actually bought this wrap to try because I loved the pattern. I have actually stopped using wraps and prefolds and use bg organic all-in-one and occasionaly some smartipants with flip organic inserts in. I tried it with a flip organic insert which fitted in fine. The material feels nice and soft and made well. My daughter is a very tall 15 month old and doesnt have chubby thighs but this looked really tight on her legs even after i spent about 10 mins taking it on and off of her to see which setting suited her. I am currently using the middle rise setting on bg and smartipants if that helps anyone. I couldnt seem to get it right around her legs without the waist being far too big and it was sort of baggy on her too much bigger than the flip wraps i found.. I'm not keen on the side snaps, this wrap just isnt working for me. Other than that I can see its made not to leak, im sure the leg part of it would contain anything, although the waist was gaping on my daughter. Its just too bulky, I think i will stick to my other nappies.
