When it comes to natural fiber cloth diapers, hemp is hands down my favorite.
It is so absorbent, yet very trim. Hemp layered under microfiber in a pocket diaper is perfect for fast/heavy wetters, especially at nap & night time. The microfiber quickly absorbs, and the hemp locks moisture in. A hemp insert in a cover makes a diaper nearly as trim as a disposable.
Pros:
Extremely absorbent
Very trim
Not as susceptible to compression leaks as microfiber
Naturally anti-microbial
Can be placed directly against skin
Sustainably Made
Cons:
More expensive than synthetic fibers
Needs to be washed several times to remove natural oils & reach full absorbency
Can be stiff when air dried
Water loving hemp needs plenty of water to get clean
Can take longer to dry
Cannot be bleached
Have you tried hemp diapers/accessories?
