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

To speed up the process, soak them in water overnight before using them for the first time.
Afterward, wash them at a maximum of 60°C and tumble dry at a low temperature. - Cotton Flat and Cotton Liner: 100% organic cotton
