Inserts vs. Doublers...please help

Okay guys, please help me.  I have a couple Flip covers and I would like to get extra inserts for them.  I have found some that are on sale, but there aren't any of the actual Flip kind.  What else will work?  I know microfiber won't work because it's not supposed to go against the skin, but can you use a hemp/cotton doubler as an insert if it's the right size?  What about a Thirsties Stay Dry Duo insert?  What kind of inserts can be used alone and what needs to be used as a "doubler"?  Thanks!

    Typically a doubler is something extra to be added for more absorbancy but wouldn't be enough all on it own.

    The Thirsties stay dry duo insert has a microfiber part on top so I won't use that unless you put the MF part away from baby.  Anything cotton or hemp is fine though.

    What about a Thirsties Hemp Insert...6 layers of hemp/cotton blend...do you think that would be enough to use alone in a Flip?

    I just got 6 of the Thirsties Hemp inserts.  I haven't tried them in the Flip, but don't see why it wouldn't work.
