These inserts are made from 2 layers of thick Hemp/Organic Cotton Fleece and 2 layers of thick Microfiber Terry. They are sewn flapper style so that they wash easily and dry easily.
The fleece side is nice and soft against baby's bottom.
We have pre-washed the hemp in hot water and in a hot dryer before cutting. This is to reduce the shrinkage. The hemp will need to be pre-washed around 2 more times or more to achieve optimal absorbancy. Some extra shrinkage may occur with washing.
When using this item in G-Diapers, I suggest using a liner over the top. For a stay dry feel liner, use the Microchamois Liner. For a natural and organic fabric liner, use the Bamboo Velour and Terry Liner.
This insert is a very flexible insert. It works great in G-Diapers and also in Pocket Diapers. For night time use, you can use 2-3 of this insert in pocket diapers with the hemp folded towards the outside of the diaper.
G-Diaper users please note. In general when using cloth inserts, as they are not as stiff as paper flushable inserts, you do not get the curve that is shown on the G-Diaper fitting video. I make the cloth inserts a little smaller than flushable inserts because that is what I have found to work better and is easier to stuff the diaper. 99% of customers find the same to be true for them.
