Cloth Nappy Tree Forum

I don't tend to use fleece liners anyway and wanted something non-hemp to absorb quickly.

Mine is identical to Ali's one, cotton velour in Lilac for the inner, hemp everything else!! It's a fab nappy

Did the hemp shrink much when it was washed (like hemp boosters) or not? Asking since I think you put it straight on Evie instead of doing a pre-wash.

Doesn't seem to have no, still fits all the boosting inside and fits her ok still.

I didn't boost my front fastener - only with the bamboo booster it came with - and that worked fine.

I'm planning to do the same with the new side snappers too. Will add a hemp booster if necessary, but I use wool covers, and have been advised that OVER boosting can cause a bit of a problem!!

owww I can play now after ordering 2 last week I got 1 bamboo with hemp big booster and bamboo rectangle and 1 hemp one with the oposite boosters to give them all a try!! the bamboo has dots on orange and the other has rainbow stripes!

Well, my 0rder just arrived. 2 night n0ti0ns (and 1 n0rthern lights).

Inner wise I went f0r bamb00 with a hemp p0ppered b00ster.

1 is lime green jersey 0uter with paws 0n blue fleece inner (a great c0mb0 IM0). The 0ther is purple jersey 0uter with white micr0fleece inner. I actually 0rdered the c0l0urs t0 match Zachs pixieknits l0ngies.

Suzanne - if y0u read this they are fab.

Ours are all bamboo apart from velour inner
