More hemp questions

NatesLady1309

I am looking to get some hemp inserts and this board has already been great about recommending places to get them on a budget. Now I have more questions. Is there any special care for them or can I just wash them with all my other diaper stuff? I know they may take longer to dry, is it OK to let them air dry the rest of the way if they aren't coming out of the dryer totally dry? I am using them for overnight, so I will be layering one hemp insert under a MF insert, right? I read about people using just the hemp insert (I think this was for daytime or a nap tho, not ON)?? I thought you couldn't do that because it needed to be under MF because it is a slow absorber versus the MF being faster.

It is recommended that when you "prep" them you prep them seperately from your other CD laundry that way the oils dont get on your other stuff. I have never done that and it doesn't seem to be a problem. 

You wash then just like your other stuff, you can line dry or use the dryer, makes no difference but they do take longer to dry.

I use hemp just for ON as well, I layer 1 bamboo, 1 MF and 1 hemp. The idea is to have the hemp on the bottom because it absorbs slower but if your LO doesn't pee a lot it might not matter.

I use hemp and bamboo overnight with the bamboo on top. The microfiber is just too bulky for me. I just put any inserts that don't dry the first time in for an extra 15 min on medium heat. You could line dry, but sometimes hemp gets a little stiff that way.
