The bamboo make great night time nappies (esp. with an extra bamboo fold-up) however I find the hemp are just as good for Gab. She wore one last night and it did the same job (with an extra hemp booster) as the bamboo ones do. They're not as soft but certainly a reliable fitted nappy.
I'd suggest to try both out. Maybe get one of each? The hemp generally dry quicker but the new bamboo/cotton blend dry much quicker than the original 100% bamboo fleece did.
Also another thing to keep in mind... you only have to wash and dry the bamboo nappies once after you receive them (just to get rid of any stuff from manufacturing and handling). The hemp nappies will need 3 washes before use AND will not reach their full potential with absorbancy until they've been used and washed several times. It's just the nature of hemp. It does get better with age tho
They're definitely not time consuming and SO easy to use. You do get a feel for how much boosting you need to do. For during the day, the snap-in boosters suffice. I just throw in an extra booster at night (at the front of the nappy because Gabby is a tummy sleeper).
