Hemp inserts BG 4.0s


I've been doubling up an infant insert and regular insert for my daughter because she is a heavy wetter, but I feel like the extra bulk is causing leg gaps. I want to switch the microfibre inserts to hemp. Which ones are the best for BG 4.0s? I have been looking at thirsties and joeybunz specifically right now. What size would I get? She is 21 months, and is wearing them at the biggest rise, but hopefully I will be using them in the future with another LO, so would like to be able to use them on a smaller setting as well if necessary

TIA!

Re: Hemp inserts BG 4.0s

  • I use the newborn MF insert on top of a hemp insert in my pockets. I have a heavy wetter too and he needed a quick absorbing material on top of the hemp otherwise the hemp didn't absorb fast enough and he would get leaks too. I find this combination to still be nice and trim.

    I like Joey bunz hemp; I use their premium insert and just split it into two and use half of it per diaper. The premium is basically two inserts sewn together for faster drying.

    I didn't care for Thirsties personally but a lot of people like it.

    Geffen baby has become my favorite hemp ever; it is super trim and holds soooo much. Their quick absorbers plus don't require the additional MF insert because they absorb quickly enough on their own for us.

    You may also consider a pad folded flat with a hemp doubler.

  • I like Thirsties hemp but I only have the inserts that came with our pockets.

    GMD hemp doublers fit pretty well in our 4.0 too
  • I use a joeybunz premium size L (both parts of it) plus a cotton doubler (for quick absorption) inside my 4.0s. It works great and is very trim. Definitely get a large hemp. It will seem huge, but it shrinks a lot.

  • I use a Joeybunz premium and two gmd cotton doublers in my 4.0's. works great! If you are on the largest rise, the large JB will fit.
