Hemp or Bamboo Inserts

APrice

I have mostly BG 4.0s and purchased hemp inserts for them for night time. I was considering trying to use them during the day because they are less bulky. Is it true that hemp inserts needed to be used with microfiber as they don't absorb as quickly...?

I use hemp on its own all the time without a problem. I have premium joey bunz. Sometimes I will top them with a MF insert for nighttime though.

We use just hemp and never have leaks.  We've used both Thirsties and Joey Bunz.

We use hemp alone with no mf in our BGs during the day with no problems...

I use both with no MF in our pockets during the day without any problems.

Humor a newbie here as I'm currently waiting for my shipment of BG 4.0s to arrive. When you say that you use hemp/bamboo inserts alone, you mean that the insert is the only thing in the pocket? What is the benefit of this? And if you do use it with the MF insert, which goes closest to baby?

Hemp and bamboo are much, much more absorbent than MF.  They are thinner inserts too, and less prone to stink issues.  You can use them alone in pockets, but in general hemp is paired with a MF on top (closest to baby when in the pocket shell) because MF tends to absorb faster while hemp holds more liquid.

Great! Thank you ladies! The mf inserts are so bulky so I ordered some premium Joey Bunz and am awaiting my delivery today! I can't wait to try them tomorrow! I'll likely pair them with the mf insert for night time. Thanks again!
