Cloth Diapering

Added Absorbency Question

What is your favorite material to use for added absorbency? Hemp? Fleece? Bamboo? Do you have a favorite brand doubler that you use (I am looking at Thirsties hemp inserts and Blueberry bamboo liners right now). DD isn't a heavy wetter yet, but she is starting to sleep for longer periods and I want to be prepared! TIA!

Re: Added Absorbency Question

  • I have a few GMD hemp doublers that we use overnight. They are pretty trim and were inexpensive. Those are the only ones I've tried but they work well.

  • I bought an EcoPosh fitted way back when, that worked great for a while, but for cleaning/washing reasons I quit using it.  The inserts that came with it (Rumparooz R6 hemp) are perfect for doublers for ON.  I also like the GMD hemp and AppleCheeks 2 ply bamboo.

  • I used the thirsties hemp doublers in pockets when DS was older. They worked well but take forever to dry.

    This, exactly.  GMD hemp doublers with prefolds/flats or less-absorbent fitteds.  

    Are you using pockets?  I use overnight fitteds currently, but I do like the thirsties hemp inserts in pockets when I use them.
    Nope, not using pockets...just prefolds and covers. They have been great so far, but I am trying to plan ahead. Thanks for all the responses so far!
