What is an insert?
An insert is
used inside of a pocket
diaper. Inserts can be made
of microfiber, hemp, bamboo
or any combination of
materials. Prefolds can also
be used as inserts (although
they can be bulky). A
pocket diaper will not work
(absorb) without an insert in
the
pocket.
What is a doubler?
A doubler is designed to
INCREASE the absorbency of
your diaper. When using a
pocket diaper you would use
your insert AND a doubler to
make the diaper more
absorbent. The insert would
be placed closest to baby's
bum and the doubler behind.
Doublers can also be used
inside All in
One Pocket Diapers. When
using a doubler with a fitted
diaper with no pocket, the
doubler would be placed
between the exterior of the
diaper and the diaper cover.
When using a doubler with a
prefold, simply lay the
doubler ontop of the prefold
before it is contoured and
fastened to the baby.
Doublers are generally made
of either hemp or bamboo.
What are liners?
There are two types of liners:
flushable biodegrable liners,
and re-usable liners (fleece).
Biodegrable, flushable liners
are used to help catch poop
and keep diaper changes a
little bit easier and cleaner.
Simply grab the ends of the
liner and toss in the toliet to
flush. Pee soaked liners can
be composted.
However, fleece liners can
also do the same thing, the
only difference is that they
are washable and reusable.
Fleece liners and raw silk
hemp liners are also used as
barriers to protect your
diapers from diaper creams.
Fleece liners are the
ultimate stay dry barrier,
whereas raw silk doesn't stay
as try as fleece, but it is
natural and has healing
properities. A great
alternative for those who
don't like or can't tolerate
fleece.
About
Hemp:
All the hemp we carry on our
site is organic. Infact, all
hemp is organic. Hemp does
not require fertilizers or
pesticides to grow. Hemp
fibers are very strong,
durable and breathable. It is
a great choice because of it's
antimicrobial, antifungal and
antibacterial properties.
Hemp holds approx. 50%
more urine that cotton fibers
alone. When hemp is paired
with microfiber, the two are
great for naps and overnight!
Hemp does require prepping
before it can be used. Since
hemp contains natural oils it is
recommended that you wash
hemp 2-4 times seperately
before mixing it with your
other diaper wash. If the oils
transfer to fleece them will
cause a buildup in the fleece.
Hemp is most absorbent after
6-8 washes.
About
Bamboo:
Bamboo is a wonderful
resource that is easily
cultivated and thrives without
the use of fertilizers or
pesticides. Bamboo is a
wonderful material thank has
been said to have
antibacterial, antiallergic
and has healing properties. It
has a silky soft feel, is
breathable and wicks
moisture away. Bamboo will
hold 60% more urine than
cotton fibers alone. While
bamboo is trimmer and holds
more urine than hemp, it also
takes longer for it to dry.
Bamboo also requires more
prepping. Bamboo should
generally be washed 4-6
times before being used, and
is most absorbent after 8-10
washes.
