How many inserts do you all have to keep you going between washes etc? |
not enough! We have just started needing extra absorbancy day and night. In the past one microfibre insert did us at night....now it doesnt do us 2hrs so I am combining all my inserts with hemp and I dont have enough hemp yet so lots of wahing.

I have about half as many extra inserts as I do nappies - although I wash every day and they only take a few hours to dry so I rarely have to break into the extras in the summer time.

I don't have extras. I have 2 inserts per nappy for daytime use and I have 3ish days worth and then my crazy amount of inserts for night time and I have 3 lots of that.
I don't see the point in "extra" inserts, I wash every day or second so I have no need for extras.

Hey Stacey - how's your back doing? I'd heard from someone on another cloth nappy board that you're out of action in the sewing department for a while? I'm really sorry to hear that - both on the pain side & because I'm sure you're itching to do something with that beautiful new fabric you have. Wishing you a speeding recover.

My back is much better. My chiro damn him said to leave sewing alone until he said so, then I asked him last week and he said no, still no.. so I was like ok I'll get my overlocker serviced now while I can't do anything.. then the bugger told me today that it was fine to go back to sewing but I got nothing to sew with! Grrr! lol

Oh how frustrating!! How long does your overlocker take to get serviced? Typical that it would fall over a weekend! Oh well, you must be pleased to at least have the all clear. I'm going to order some of your mama pads with a new nappy - very excited

The lady at bumbles said to have a hemp and microfibre for each nappy and then 3-4 extra hemps. She said if your having trouble with leaking add more hemps not microfibre. This was great to hear after I stocked up on a whole heap of microfibre and hardly any hemps

Don't worry, you'll be fine! I have more mf than hemp as I was late to discover hemp but we still get on fine without any leaks. I use 2 x mf insert for the day and a hemp flat with a mf insert at night. If I were going to do it all over again I'd probably get hemp boosters to go with my mf inserts as it would be a slimmer option than 2 mf inserts together, but hey - it's still a slim nappy and we don't have any leaks. The best thing about pockets is you can stuff them with whatever you want/have! I have a stash of big mf cloths which I got from Mitre 10 Mega on special and that way if I do have a washing emergency I can always use those to boost my nappies. It's not my first choice but they work fine.

i have virtually no hemp and survive quite well. in fact most of the inserts for my pockets are prefolds.

I was finally happy with my nappy lot when I had enough nappies and inserts for 2 days and washed daily. There was pretty much always a load dry and a load hanging to dry. Now I have tonnes because I have only one bubba in day naps for the first time since I started buying MCN!
