I almost quit cloth diapers when Sophia was about 14 months old. Every diaper I had leaked and leaked horribly. It wasn't that they were repelling, it was that none of her diapers would last longer than 1 hour on her. There was no way that I wanted to change diapers every hour of the day!

After I figured out that our diapers weren't repelling {they were soaked, it wasn't that the liquid was rolling off before being absorbed}, I started trying to add more absorbency. I started doubling up on microfiber inserts that came with pocket diapers and, well, Sophia could no longer wear anything over her Bamboo diaper. 

I finally took the plunge and tried hemp inserts. What took me so long!? They were trim, absorbed more than their microfiber counterparts, and helped a diaper last longer than an hour!

Some of my favorite hemps inserts are from Thirsties. {They also make some of my favorite diapers – love this Duo AIO and Duo Diaper Cover.} Their hemp inserts are actually a blend of 55% Cotton and 45% Hemp. They hold up VERY well – I've had some Thirsties Hemp Inserts in my stash for almost 2 years now and they look a lot better than others in our stash. They are also very affordable at $9.00 for a 2 pack.

Since I learned my hemp lesson with Sophia, when Moreaya's diapers started leaking a couple of months ago, I went straight to adding hemp inserts as soon as I stuffed. We now have quite a hemp stash {ha!} as every diaper liners that she wears is double stuffed, but still pretty trim.
