do your inserts fit the full width, have you tried a combo of microfibre on top then hemp

Are they cotton outers, rather than poly? We don't get on with any cotton outer pockets. It's not that they leak, they just wick, regardless of what I stuff them with.

WSS, I'm afraid we didn't get on with the cotton outer HH's either. :(

A quick tumbledry might help but we found the prints wicked after about 2hrs towards the end too though they were fab when Isabelle was younger and didn't wee so much...
