well there you go - i was recently reading on another nappy forum that it is hemp that is anti-bacterial and it's a myth that bamboo is antibacterial

i just steer clear of making any claims about my nappies (i use bamboo) and stay away from hemp cause i find it too crunchy and too smelly

depends on the weight and the composition of the fabric. Heavyweight bamboo fleece is comparable to a luxury double sided bamboo terry. Though the terry will always absorb faster. Depends what situation you need it for.

Hi , Could i add one -

Zorb - like a thick soft but stiff fleece

i believe there is another type which is stitched like quilting (small diamonds)

I bought some and made my own inserts but i really didnt expect it to look like it did !!!! , I suppose its usually a hidden layer but for anyone making there own its useful to know xx
