What I would do -- and others may disagree -- is wash yours once separately, then together with everything else from then on. And this is because you got hemp. I've not washed my BBHs separately but they're all bamboo, though I washed my Crickett's once separately. Some may say to wash them separately more than that, but I don't think that's necessary. Washing/drying more would make them more absorbent though, and would be true prepping if you did it a few times before you ever put them on J; I just try not to do separate loads when I don't have to, or to prep if I don't have to. Come to think of it, the only times I've ever washed separately were to prep prefolds when Kira was born and once when I got my Crickett's last year! In fact I think you'd be OK to wash these together from the beginning, but to be safe, once separately is a good compromise, IMO.

You will also need to wash them several times (probably 4 times) before using them. I only washed them once and had terrible leaking issues!! So I washed them a few more times and put Ash in one this morning. She had it on almost 2.5 hours (which is when I normally change her BG 3.0) and the inner lines were barely wet! I knew she had peed a lot, but the BBH was so absorbent. Not the case before I washed them multiple times though.
