Organic cotton and hemp inserts are more absorbent than microfiber or bamboo. Cotton and hemp will retain moisture under pressure better than microfiber or bamboo. Hemp inserts will be more absorbent than equally sized cotton inserts. When diapering an older baby, cotton or hemp inserts are great for overnights.
Are microfiber or bamboo inserts better?
Microfiber inserts can absorb liquids quickly; they also dry very quickly. When we compare microfiber with hemp and bamboo, they are less durable. These inserts may flatten over time, which reduces the absorbency. They are also prone to compression leaks.
How many inserts do you need for cloth diapers?
When just getting started, we suggest 24 to 36 cloth diapers and inserts for newborns. For older infants, 14 to 24 diapers and inserts should be enough. This is based on the need to change a diaper approximately every 2 hours, and with washing every 2 to 3 days.
