Hemp or bamboo inserts?

Hello ladies!  I have successfully built up a stash that I am happy with....except the inserts.  I HATE my microfiber inserts!  I have read a lot on Joeybunz and thirsties hemp AND Kawaii & etsy bamboo inserts.  These will be for bumgenius, kawaii and fuzzibunz diapers.  My DS is 9 weeks old so I do not want something that is really bulky but let me tell you that this boy pees ALOT!  Right now I have to have a min. of 2 inserts in bumgenius and I am fine with 1 in kawaii and fuzzibunz (except at night).  Anyways.  Point being please suggest your favorite and why.  Thanks!!!

    At night I pair 1 bamboo with 1 Joey Bunz premium hemp insert in either an Alva or Kawaii pocket. I also just got a coupl

  • Hemp seem to absorb the most, but they absorb too slowly for me to be able to use on their own. I have to use them as doublers with bamboo or MF so those can absorb quickly.
