These are amazing!
By Xtianstone on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2014
This review is from a parent of now two. Our second son was a very heavy wetter. I have purchased 6 brands of hemp pads, as well as bamboo (3 brands). The short version, these are incredible. By far my favorite. The long version... Each pad is actually two thinner liners sewn together. When I first received these, I was a bit confused. Once I discovered why, I absolutely love the design. The two panels sewn together means that they dry much faster in the dryer. I have several other brands (including hybrid cotton-hemp ones) that are still a bit damp and need another 10-20 minutes to dry. Since these leave more surface area available for drying, these come out very dry and fold back easily when stuffing a diaper. The second benefit is that after about a year the stitching connecting the two pads failed on a few of the liners leaving me with several single panels. I was going to sew them back together, but now I like using them on my now two-year old on road trips. They add almost no bulk and provide several times more absorbency and dryness over a single microfiber insert. The older single panels were also great on my second son when he was in his first weeks and I was struggling with the vast volumes of pee he was producing. Hemp is more absorbent then bamboo. If you have a spectrum, put hemp on one end, then bamboo, then microfiber, then regular cotton. Both hemp and bamboo absorb very slowly though. This is why a few manufacturers sell hemp-cotton blends. They are more absorbent then cotton, but absorb as quickly as cotton. However, I do not like any of the hybrid solutions. They still soak quickly, not nearly as much as hemp (if I had to guess, I would say hemp is easily 5x more absorbent then cotton, and a composite liner is about 2x more absorbent then cotton). The main failure of a composite liner is that a child can still feel the wetness. If you have a microfiber liner and a hemp backer, the hemp wicks all the moisture out of the microfiber liner. Since that is what is closer to the child, the child does not sense the wetness much, if at all. My morning experience is to find a nearly saturated hemp liner, and a microfiber liner that barely feels damp. While I touched on it a bit in the last paragraph, it is important to understand how to use these. First, you need to wash them a few times in hot water to strip some of the natural oils out of them. If you do not, they can actually reduce the absorbency of your other pads, and then you will be stripping diapers. After that, it is game on! Second, if you are using any liner besides a cotton liner, understand that they are so absorbent they will wick moisture out of your childs skin if there is direct contact. That leads to rashes, etc.. I use pockets and need to check and make sure that the insert pocket completely covers the microfiber and hemp liners (microfiber is also more absorbent then cotton and will also wick moisture out of skin and cause rashes). The solution is to have a pocket diaper with a microfiber liner, and behind that your hemp liner. If you are not using pockets, use a cotton liner with a hemp one behind it. Third, you will be amazed how absorbent these are. The main benefit is that your baby will not fuss over wetness as much and instead of 5-8 changes overnight for a heavy wetter you will change once or twice at most (depending on how thirsty your wee one is). I tend to use aplix (velcro) diapers for overnight, and snaps during the day. I do not even need to turn a light on to change my boy. I stuff the velcro diapers with the hemp + microfiber inserts, and add a few extra of the now single panels in some of the snaps. It is very easy for me to determine by touch which diapers in my stash are night diapers, and which ones are day diapers. My experiences using this method are for my firstborn... over 1 year without a single diaper rash. My second born... three months with no rashes and 1 month of sleeps where I get up and change him once a night and give him a bottle. Bliss :) I have also helped a few friends with kids who suffered from kids who peed out of their diapers often. Some have switched to cloth and are using a similar system. Others are stuffing every diaper with the combo. It is all good. Just get these and sleep more!

Am I doing something wrong?
By JackyBan on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2012
I was using these to add extra absorbency to my one year old's diaper exclusively at night. It worked great in minimizing the need to change his wet clothing however it also brought on more diaper rash. Every morning is filled with this horrible stench of urea which i have to drained and put in my washer. I reverted back to just the diaper without this insert and his rash has gone away. I do not mind the extra work of cleaning it in the morning however I cannot deal with him getting diaper rash because of this. Am I doing something wrong here? does this need to be placed inside of something else?

Helpful for Overnight

I purchased these as a supplement to my overnight cloth diapers. I boiled them upon receipt then put them in the washer for a few times before using them on my son. So far they seem to absorb really well, although he is a pretty heavy wetter and he still wakes up wet (it doesn't bother him though), although it is not as bad as it would be without the inserts. So far they wash well, although if you plan on line drying, understand that these will be very rough on baby's skin. Again, we only use them at night and so far our son doesn't seem to mind. Does okay with stains so far. Overall, works as advertised.

Too wide for baby.

I ordered the size small. Even with the hourglass shape I felt these were way too wide for between my baby's legs. They are even wider than the feminine pads I buy myself. I'm only giving them three stars because size small should be smaller. However, they are nice and thin and super absorbent. I ended up cutting/sewing mine to make them smaller.
Not absorbent, takes days to dry!

I wanted to try a hemp doubler because my daughter would leak through two Fuzzi Bunz inserts each night, but these just don't work for me! I boiled them for 30 minutes, then washed them, but they didn't dry completely in the dryer, so I hung them up. One day later I figured it MUST be dry even though it still felt a little cold and heavy, so I tried it as a doubler, and she leaked after a few hours. I thought maybe the problem was it had been damp, so I let the inserts dry a few more days in 90 degree weather, and tried agin, and it still was less than half the absorbency of the Fuzzi Bunz microfiber. I really wanted these to work for me like they did for the other reviewers, but they are pretty useless!
Great Product!

I ordered 12 of these to try in my daughters one size FuzziBunz diapers. She is 12 months and 19 pounds. I ordered the medium size of Joey Bunz and they fit perfectly. She has the one size FuzziBunz and the Medium Joey Bunz are the exact same length as the large minky liner. My daughter is a HEAVY wetter and she was having multiple leaky diapers each day. I was about to give up on cloth diapers all together because I was so frustrated. I have found these to be extremely absorbent and work much better than the minky liners. I use one Joey Bunz liner and then a large minky liner on top, so each diaper is double stuffed. She rarely has any leaks during the day and very few leaks at night. When these are in, I typically go 2-3 hours between diaper changes without leaks. When I first got these in the mail, I boiled them in a pot on my stove to remove the natural oils. Then, I washed them 3 times with an old towel on hot. After that, I began washing them with my diapers. I had read that you shouldn't wash them with your diapers at first because they release a ton of oils that you don't want on your diapers. The more I wash these liners, the more absorbent they become. I just ordered 12 more to have one for each of my diapers. The only complaint I have is that they take about 2 times longer to dry than the FuzziBunz liners, but it's worth it.
Super absorbent

Follow instructions for pre-washing (1/4-1/2 det recommended, all nat), dry on medium. Ready after 1 wash, keep getting more absorbent through first few washes too. By wash 5, I can put 1 of these + a microfiber square in my daughter's pocket dipe (she is 18 lb. at 17 mo) and go 3-4 hours between changes. Adding one more at night has gotten me through 13 hours at night and she is nursing 3-4 times a night right now! 2 makes for a bulky diaper, but trim considering it holds all night like that (and she's sleeping anyway). One insert is bulkier than some microfiber inserts, but it is so absorbent it is worth it, and it is not too bulky for my very active runner/climber to be bothered by. Very soft if you are not using a pocket diaper also. Just take the time and read blogs/reviews/advice about hemp and washing. Also, try not to wash Hemp (new) w/ microfiber. Natural oils in the hemp (when brand-new) can get on your microfiber and reduce its absorbency. Unfortunately I have not found anything comparable cheaper so don't be scared off by the price. Hour glass shape is awesome too for trimness through thighs.
Great for heavy wetters

I purchased these Joey Bunz hemp inserts for use with BumGenius 4.0 pocket diapers. Although the microfibers inserts that came with the 4.0 diapers worked well for my first daughter, my second daughter was always leaking through at night. I decided to try the Joey-bunz in the small size first, when my second daughter was using the newborn size setting of the diaper cover, and she rarely leaked at night when using them. When we reached the next diaper size setting, I purchased enough Joey Bunz inserts so that I could use them all the time. They work great for overnight (I usually use two of them layered together), and during the day I use one medium Joey Bunz insert and one newborn size microfiber insert (my baby is almost 6 mos old). The best thing about the hemp inserts is that they aren't as bulky as the microfiber inserts, which is great for smaller babies. So, even if you have to layer them up (like we do at night), you can still fit the baby's clothes on, and they aren't immobilized by a giant diaper. I am planning to purchase the large size once my baby is big enough. The hemp inserts do get more absorbent with each use and washing, and they are soft and flexible. A few drawbacks (why I would like to give this 4 1/2 stars): 1) They take about 50% more time to dry than the microfiber inserts. I've found that drying the Joey Bunz hemp inserts with dryer balls cuts down on dry time and leaves them more fluffy. 2) I use these inserts with BumGenius diapers, and the inserts are a little narrower in the crotch than the BumGenius covers. So, this leaves a small gap where the insert and edge of the diaper cover don't meet. If I do have leaks, it is in this area. I have tried the hemp inserts with FuzziBunz diapers (that a friend lent to me), and they seem to fit better. One tip, if you are using the hemp inserts along with a microfiber insert, put the hemp insert underneath the microfiber insert, as the hemp absorbs more slowly than the microfiber, and it just seems to work better to prevent leaking. Overall, these are more effective than microfiber inserts for our big nighttime wetter, but I still have occasional leaks.

I love this product. I was just about to give up on cloth diapering (and I did it with my 3 year old until he was potty trained a year ago) with my 6 week old because he is such a heavy wetter. He would through a double stuffed Fuzzibunz within an hour. To prep these: boil with blue Dawn Dish Soap for 30 minutes, then wash on hot and dry three times before use to get rid most of their natural oils. The more I wash, the more absorbent they get. They only reason I didn't rate these 5 stars is because I want to use it as an insert alone but he leaks after an hour with these when used as an insert alone. I usually use these as a doubler with one of the fuzzibunz inserts and he can go 4+ hours in the daytime and 10+ hours at night without leaking (and I get the same results if I use two BabyKicks inserts). I'm hoping that with more washings I can use them as a single insert in the diaper because I HATE how thick the fuzzibunz inserts are.
Length of a size 3 (16-28 lbs) Huggies

These are the length of a size 3 (16-28 lbs) Huggies Hemp diaper inserts: --must be "prepped" in order to make the diaper ready to absorb liquids. (Prep by washing and drying three times or more. Can also prep by boiling for 15-20 minutes.) --become more absorbent as they are used (washed, then dried) Joeybunz inserts: -- they work! They work! They work! -- will make the diaper a tad bulky, but the benefit of using these as a doubler is worth the extra padding! --using as a doubler= I pair the microfiber insert (that typically comes standard with any cloth diaper made for inserts) with this hemp under . I place the microfiber against the inside of the diaper and the hemp facing the outside. The microfiber will quickly absorb the liquid, and the hemp will absorb AND hold the liquid for a long period of time. If you have a heavy wetter (as I do), it will be perfectly normal to experience some leaks in the beginning. As you use the pads more often, the absorbency increases and the leaks should go away. *Note that generally speaking you have to change cloth diapers as often or maybe a tad more often than disposables. I have a heavy wetter, and must change the diaper at a maximum of 3 hours in order to avoid a leak. (Although I'm more comfortable with the idea of changing every 2 hours.) http://www.babykicks.com/productInfo/care.cfm
