What's a bamboo insert?

Inserts are the part of the cloth nappy that absorbs liquid, while a nappy liner keeps poo contained but allows fluid to drain through the liner and into the insert. You should place nappy inserts in a cloth nappy to act as a barrier between the nappy and your baby’s bottom. This makes it easier to change your baby’s nappy when wet.

Nappy inserts can help you maximize the absorbency of your pocket cloth nappy without compromising your values for a low-waste lifestyle. Bamboo inserts are exceptionally soft on your baby’s bottom for maximum comfort. For best results, you should own at least as many nappy inserts as you have pocket cloth nappies. It may take time for your bamboo inserts to air dry after washing, so consider owning a few extra so you can build up a stash. This way, you will never be left without an insert when you need one.

How to Use your nappy insert

Soak your bamboo cloth inserts before using them. It may sound counter-intuitive, but soaking first will increase their absorbency. Then tuck a single bamboo insert inside the pouch of your baby’s pocket cloth nappy. The bamboo insert should fit snugly. If desired, you can safely use bamboo inserts for cloth nappies alongside other inserts such as hemp or bamboo cotton. However, be cautious not to overstuff your pocket cloth nappy. Overstuffing can cause the nappy to be bulky and sag around your baby’s legs. This can loosen the nappy and result in unwanted leaks.

Check and change your baby’s nappy every 2 to 4 hours for best results. Frequent changing helps to prevent nappy rashes. If you don’t have enough inserts to add one every time you change your baby’s nappy, that’s okay. A cloth nappy will still contain wee and poo on its own even without an insert, although inserts are helpful for babies that produce lots of waste.

Machine wash bamboo inserts for cloth nappies in warm water. You can wash pocket nappies and bamboo inserts at the same time. 

What Makes Bamboo Inserts so Great?

Bamboo inserts are slimmer than alternatives such as microfiber. Microfiber inserts should not be placed directly against your baby’s skin because microfiber is so absorbent that it will draw moisture from your baby’s skin, resulting in redness and rashes. You will not experience this problem with bamboo, which is less absorbent and much softer on the skin.
