Possible combination of inserts

When combining absorbent inserts, there is a rule of thumb that must be observed: Fast-absorbing cotton should always be in contact with the child, with hemp inserts placed underneath. Hemp absorbs more moisture than cotton, but relatively slowly.

  • Muslin nappy, which is either placed in the wool cover or directly folded around the child. For newborns, it can further be combined with a cotton liner made of terrycloth. The loop-like structure of the terry cloth reliably catches the still liquid faeces.
  • The cotton flat is tripled along the long side and directly placed in the wool cover. Make sure that the flat reaches the edge of the cover, but not beyond. Otherwise leakage is likely to occur.
  • For more absorbency, the cotton flat is combined with a hemp booster: along the entire length (booster – long) or selectively (booster – short) where the absorption needs to be greatest. For boys more at the front and for girls in the middle of the cover.
  • The hemp flat is placed directly in the wool cover. Fold the flat along the long side for covers of size 1 and along the short side for covers of sizes 2 and 3. You must combine it with a cotton liner or muslin nappy. Pure cotton quickly absorbs moisture and directs it downwards where it is stored in the hemp flat.
  • The wool liner can be combined with all the above systems. The liner is suitable in two ways: Greased, it can be placed directly in the wool cover and serves as extra moisture protection. For children who have a strong feeling of wetness, the wool liner is placed ungreased on top of the absorbing insert in direct contact to the child.

Prefold “Lottje”
Prefold “Lottje”
Beginners are often faced with the question of how best to combine the various absorbent inserts. We took this to heart and designed an insert that can be used without much prior knowledge and in many situations. It can be used during day and night, either folded around the child (being hold together with a nappy fastener) or directly placed in the nappy cover. Easy to use, for parents, grandparents, or the babysitter. Prefold "Lottje" is made from certified organic cotton (muslin fabric) and hemp. Cotton quickly absorbs moisture, while a mixture of hemp/ organic cotton in the central part of ​​the prefold reliably stores it. Overall, the combination of hemp and cotton stores, compared to other inserts, relatively large amounts of moisture and can hence be used for longer change intervals.   Facts
  • The core consists of two layer of hemp/organic cotton that is covered by a layer of muslin
  • Hence, a fast-absorbing layer of cotton is always in direct contact with the child
  • The middle part is sewn on one side only, creating a pocket into which additional absorbent material can be placed
  • The muslin fabric is 2-ply sewn
  • Flat seams ensure that there are no pressure points
  How to use
  • Directly folded around the child and hold together with a nappy clip
  • Folded along the long side, the prefold can be placed directly into the wool cover
  • Suitable for covers sizes 2 and 3
  • The prefold is unwashed and will shrink by 5-6%
