Initially, you might be tempted to save money by buying diapers that include inserts, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The most important thing is to check the type of insert that is included. Because, it can be discouraging if the insert does not absorb enough and you end up with constant leaks. You could end up buying new, more efficient inserts or even giving up. Knowing the types of inserts from the outset can help you avoid extra expense and make a more informed choice.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

GOOD TO KNOW…<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

When buying inserts it’s best to prioritise a composition mainly of natural fiber, because they absorb more liquid. They are cheaper when combined with a diaper when purchasing compared to buying them separately. Furthermore, if your town offers a subsidy for cloth diapers, they could refuse it if they weren’t purchased together, It’s a good thing to consider.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Here is a small overview of the different types of inserts:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Microfiber<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Microfiber is a synthetic fiber, economical and dries quickly. Its advantage is characterized by its speed of absorption. If you buy cheap diapers and it includes an insert, chances are it’s a microfiber insert. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The disadvantage is that it retains liquids less well than natural fibers and could cause what is called compression leaks. If you don’t know what compression leak means, imagine a sponge filled with water, if you crush it the liquid will come out. Microfiber is the same thing, if the insert starts to saturate and the baby sits down, the liquid will come out of his diaper. This is why combined with a natural fiber insert is going to be the best solution. By placing the microfiber on top, you can benefit from rapid absorption while letting your natural fiber perform at the level of liquid retention. Important: the microfiber insert must never be placed in direct contact with the baby’s buttocks at the risk of causing significant diaper rash.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Bamboo<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Bamboo is natural and is often the most common solution. It is characterized by its very high capacity for absorption and retention of liquids. In addition, they are well appreciated for their flexibility. You will see different thicknesses and weights which will influence the amount of liquid they can absorb. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

To put it simply, the more thickness there is and the higher the grammage (GSM), the more absorbent they will be. I’ll give you an example, you are hesitating between an insert of 4 layers of 250 GSM or 4 layers of 320 GSM, the most absorbent will then be the 320 GSM one, because it will have been woven tighter. Between an insert of 3 or 4 layers, the 4 layers will be more absorbent and if you compare the prices, you will see that there is often no difference or barely. It’s worth taking the time to check before your purchase!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

These are inserts that are similar to microfibers and have the same characteristics. So beware of compression leaks. The exterior has a dry effect and unlike microfiber, these can be in direct contact with the baby’s skin. They are appreciated for their economical side and their dark color which greatly reduces the risk of stubborn stains.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Cotton wears out faster. It is often seen paired with bamboo, two natural fibers that have good liquid retention and flexibility. It is often found in the form of a trifold (insert that is folded in three). Trifolds are often very popular and can be placed in direct contact against a baby’s skin with no problem.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

It is a natural fiber similar to bamboo. These are flexible inserts that are very efficient in terms of absorption and retention of liquids. On the other hand, unlike bamboo, it is less resistant to heat. They will become rougher over time and the dryer will make them wavy, but will not affect their efficiency.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Know that you can also use what you have on hand to create your own inserts or to supplement what you have already purchased. An economical and absorbent option is to use FST (flour sack towel) found in the dish towel sections. Short-haired polyester blankets are also very popular for those who want to make a few washable liners.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our favorite is “THE DUO”, because as explained above we have an insert which is made partly of microfiber to allow rapid absorption and the other half of the insert is made of bamboo for good retention of liquids + a 4 layers bamboo insert of 320 GSM. We also offer a 2 layers cotton bamboo trifold (six total ply, when folded in three), giving you space to add an insert if needed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
