Cloth Diapering

Doubler..hemp or microfiber?

I want to purchase doublers to use at night with my prefolds..would I just lay the doubler in the diaper? Which is more absorbant? Thank u!

Re: Doubler..hemp or microfiber?

  • If I'm correct, I THINK that hemp absorbs more but takes longer to absorb where as microfiber absorbs less but absorbs quicker... I know lots of ppl like to use both at the same time... and if you use microfiber you'll need to get some fleece scraps or something so baby's skin isn't right on the microfiber. (if it's not going inside of a pocket)

     This is what I've learned but haven't had hands on experience yet. So you might want to get another opinion too.  HTH

  • I would go with hemp for nighttime and put it between the prefold and the cover, not against baby's skin.

    This.  My LO wore her PF as usual, then I put a hemp insert between the PF and the cover.  

  • Hemp holds way more fluid than microfiber, hands down, but microfiber absorbs fluid more quickly. I always stuff my pockets with a hemp on the bottom and a microfiber insert on top to get the best of both worlds. :)

  • If you opt for microfiber, be sure not to place it against baby's skin!
