Hemp is an incredibly thirsty plant fiber that is twice as absorbent as cotton on its own. Made from 6-layers of a hemp/cotton jersey fabric that feels like your favorite t-shirt. Think of these boosters as adding storage for longer stretches like nap and nighttime, without adding bulkiness to the diaper.

Includes: 2 boosters

How to Use

Add 1-2 hemp booster to the diaper for heavy wetters, naps, or nighttime use.

Hemp is slower to absorb than cotton so we recommend placing between the diaper and the cover for best results.

Materials

Hemp (55%) and organic cotton jersey (45%).

Made in the USA

Size

11.75" long x 4.5" wide

These are the "small" hemp inserts made by Thristies but we like to think of them as "one-size". This size fits wonderfully inside all our covers so you can use the same boosters from birth to potty learning.

Care guide

Before Use: needs to be washed and dried at least three times before use to prep the fabric for absorbency. This can be done separately from your other diapering products for the first 3 washes. Our hemp-cotton products will be fully primed and at their maximum absorbency after 8 wash cycles.

Wash Cycle:

  • Prewash on warm (optional)
  • Wash on hot
  • Add another rinse (on warm if available)
  • You may hang diapers to dry, or dry in the dryer. If the diapers are stiff after line drying, you can place them in the dryer on low or medium heat with some alpaca dryer balls to soften them.

 

Important Notes:

Use enough water to soak and cover the diapering items and allow them to agitate. 

Please avoid the following practices and/or additives that can void the warranty on these products:

  •   Sanitize or Whites cycles on HE machines
  •   Pure Soap
  •   Routine use of Bleach 

These practices and/or additives can void the warranty on your Thirsties products.

Edge-wear Information:
We have found that natural fiber diapers develop some edge wear eventually. Natural fibers tend to clean easier than synthetic materials, but you can expect to see wear on natural diapers earlier than a synthetic fiber diaper. There isn’t a standard time frame on when holes might develop as there are too many variables involved; wash routines, water hardness, machine type, detergent and stash size are all variables that need to be considered.  Edge wear holes in the fabric tend to develop in the top layer of natural fiber along the serged edges and leg casings, but in most cases the performance of the diaper is not affected.
