Well I am thinking that maybe they just hadn't been washed enough and have washed them all for a third time. he had one on this morning when I went for a long bushwalk with a mate and he had done numbers twos and all, with no dampness coming through his clothes. There was a bit of something on his singlet, but he had been jumping up and down in my backpack while we were walking and this business was well and truly smushed everywhere, so those are extenuating circumstances in my book. But so far pretty happy, considering he was in this nappy for a while and had a big bottle this morning.

I don't think hemp is for me...borrowed a hemp insert from another mate and the smell of it nearly knocked me sideways. I am thinking of just getting some more inserts from bum-g becuase the other day I had two microfibre bum-g inserts in there and it worked a treat. I know that hemp is supposed to be much more absorbent, but I am reluctant to go there again, I don't think my nose could cope. LOL.

The other thing is that when I went to wash them for the third time, I tried to see how absorbent they were with just normal water and it just ran straight off the insert, so I am thinking they need a bit more washing...I hear that makes em a bit more absorbent.
