Okay, I have been making double layer bamboo trifolds (6 layers total) but maybe I will invest in some microfibre..though the reason I hadn't gotten any of that is I didn't like the idea of the water squeezing back out again.....]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:15:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29827&PID=834568&title=making-inserts#834568 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29827&PID=834279&title=making-inserts#834279 Author: weegee

What Rach said only when we use pockets at night (which isn't often, admittedly), I use one mf/hemp trifold and one double layer bamboo trifold.

Hi I make all my inserts as trifolds as I find it SO much easier to sew just two layers together rather than 6! During the day I just have one trifold (I use 1layer microfibre and 1 layer bamboo), and at night I use 2 trifolds. Not sure if that's the 'proper' way to do it, but that's what I do ]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:07:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29827&PID=834233&title=making-inserts#834233 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29827&PID=832582&title=making-inserts#832582 Author: FreeSpirit

Trifolds (hemp or bamboo) are normally used for overnight use with microfibre on top - the microfibre is a fantastic sponge, and hemp (which is slower to absorb) has real holding power - so 6 layers of hemp or bamboo holds HEAPS of wetness, and doesn't let it out. . Hemp becomes quite stiff when it's waterlogged, which is one of the reasons it's better suited to night when mobility isn't an issue. I'm a late comer to the cloth nappy obsession, there are ladies with far more experiance who will be able to explain better than I, but I hope my answer helps in the meantime.]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:55:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29827&PID=832582&title=making-inserts#832582 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29827&PID=832522&title=making-inserts#832522 Author: Nutella

Okay, I have been making my own nappies and planned to only make trifold inserts...but on another topic there was a comment about using trifolds as boosters....so are they mainly used as boosters? I am a bit confused now heeehee.]]> Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:22:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29827&PID=832522&title=making-inserts#832522
