Re-Ewes Split Pants are eco-friendly split crotch pants made from recycled sweaters from yard sales and thrift stores. These wool baby pants are terrific for elimination communication, keeping your baby warm during diaper-free time for baby and caregiver to gain awareness of elimination patterns.
If desired, you can tuck a prefold inside these split pants, using the waistband as you would use a prefold belt to hold the diaper up. Split pants in this style are great for little children wanting independence to potty by themselves who don't yet know how to take their own pants down. Also an excellent winter EC solution, providing a warmer alternative during times you would like to leave your child nude for observing their elimination patterns or signals, and for using your cue (e.g. "pssss") immediately in response to your child's elimination.
Now with a new seamstress, the sizing on the Re-Ewes split pants follow this chart. There is some variation due to the nature of the materials being repurposed, particularly in the leg width. Feel free to contact me with any questions about fit or material.

Wool is very absorbent and self-cleaning. The pants come lanolized and ready to wear. The pants can be worn several times between washings and hung up to dry as needed.
Care is easy: Hand-wash or machine wash on gentle cycle in a lanolin-rich wool wash, roll up in a towel to squeeze the excess moisture out, and lay flat to dry.
Made locally in New York, USA by a seamstress working in her own home of recycled sweaters of varying origins exclusively for EC Wear.
