I *think* (and I'm not the expert - Gsmum and Nikki will have more idea) that a combination is a good idea. Microfibre absorbs small amounts really quickly, whereas hemp is more absorbent overall but slower to absorb. So it works well to put a microfibre + hemp with the microfibre closest to bubs so that the microfibre soaks thru into the hemp if that makes sense?
My fave inserts at the moment are the Ecobubs hemp/cotton blend, they seem to be super absorbent and last for ages. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I do a combination of microfibre and hemp at night time, but only use microfibre during the day - I think it is trimmer.
Have just ordered a microfibre pocket insert from Baby Harmony - you can get a hemp inner for the microfibre insert, if that makes sense? I haven't tried something like this so will let you know how it goes. |

I've got some bamboo inserts on the way from Tweedle just for something new to try. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Tweedles and Ecobubs sell their inserts as accessories as well and do a combo of hemp/microfibre in a flat that you just fold into three. That works really well.
(Geez - and way to put me in the "experts" pile Emma - I just regurgitate what I have heard Deb say! )
