Have searched thru the old threads and can't find it but am guessing its probaly been answered before so sorry for that
My 6 new nappies have arrived and am excited about it all but am wanting to make some extra inserts. My questions are: 1. Am thinking just to put 2 layers of hemp and 1 of micro fibre - will that be enough? 2. What hemp do I want? Have been on GreenBeans and do I want fleece, french terry or jersey? TIA  -------------

If this is all you are going to use in them, it really depends on what type of wetter you have. If you have a heavy/medium wetter than I doubt it will be enough to last a decent amount of time. If you have a light wetter though, it may be enough. Trifolds are the best, 1 of hemp, 1 of micofibre and fold it to make 6 layers. 2. What hemp do I want? Have been on GreenBeans and do I want fleece, french terry or jersey? Jersey isn't very absorbent. Fleece and french terry are the same thing really. fleece is just brushed terry to give a fleecey look |

You could either make a trifold or a pad style - if you trifold you'd get more absorbency & quicker drying time. But if you can't be bothered folding and want to make a pad-style then you'd want a combo of 3 or 4 layers, making sure the hemp is on the bottom (so that the microfibre gets wee on first). If you go for 4 layers maybe just connect them at the top so that the hemp & mf can seperate for drying (if that makes sense?).
