Dont use softener cause it builds up on the nappies and can cause rash! Sensitive omo or amolin or something similar isprobably best for sensitive skin. I just use half the amount of normal powder, and do an extra rinse. I find thats fine.
Definitly wash the hemp a few times before using - it takes about 10 washes to get to its full absorbancy.
Have fun!
Fabric softener also can affect the absorbancy..making it repel the water rather than soak it up. I've used a bit of bicarb to try and soften them a bit, but I find the best is 10mins in the dryer to finish off the drying :) Mind you, I don't use much hemp, so I dunno how soft you can get that anyway.
