Is the hemp bottom layer the same hemp pad that you can buy alone? Can you can use the hemp alone in a pocket diaper?

I believe that it is the same and, yes, each pad is thick enough to use alone. I use these for overnight use on my toddler boy. With the Fuzzibunz diaper, these duo inserts keep him dry all night.

I don't think you can buy them standalone. I actually have hemp inserts that I got from BabyKicks JoeyBunz and I prefer them for a stand alone doubler. The thirsties version can be unsnapped from the microfleece layer, but it does have snaps on it, so you'd want to only turn the soft side toward the baby if you do decide to use it without the fleece layer. I like the thirsties inserts for absorbancy in a quick trip out and about, but if your kid #2s in their diaper, it's a bit of a mess because it gets all over the cover!

I wash my Joey Bunz with my microfiber inserts and pocket diapers, and I haven't had any problems. However, I don't have velcro tabs (I have snaps) on my diaper covers, and I've heard that velcro can snag on the hemp inserts if they are washed together. I do have to dry the hemp inserts a bit longer than the microfiber inserts.

Hemp doesn't contain the drug, THC that is the component that is looked for when people get a drug test....also if it did it wouldn't be absorbed by washing your hands and what not.

To my knowledge it's the same thing because you can only get the oil from the hemp seed anyway.

If I were a mother again, I would have no problem buying this product for washing diapers. It has a limited capacity, but it keeps the diapers out of the regular household laundry. For busy people it may be impractical beyond infant and early toddler size diapers. But that depends on how much you mind doing several loads a week. I wouldn't mind at all. Cloth diapers are the healthiest. Babies do NOT need all the ridiculous chemicals in disposables. I say that with a little authority. I used to work in a research and development department of a baby diaper manufacturing company. Trust me. Cloth diapers are healthier than disposables. I would never let a disposable touch my baby if I didn't have to. As for the egg, you could probably get a dozen and a half newborn diapers in it. Probably eight to twelve toddler diapers. I don't think it is such a pain to hook up to a faucet that is in a second bathroom or a utility room. Otherwise it would be kind of a pain n a kitchen or only bathroom. The full wash is about thirty minutes. Wash and no rise is about fifteen. Just remember to turn the water off before removing the hose from the faucet! I wish my mom had it in the 1950's and 1960's when she had eight children and several in cloth diapers at any given time. I was an oldest daughter and often changed the cloth diapers and rinsed them in the toilet. Then put them in the bleach pail. I would have loved the ego egg. Just take the diapers out of the pail and put them in the egg. Run it and then wring them out. Throw them in the dryer or hang them up. You don't have to mix them in with regular laundry and you can dry them together, fold them and put them away.

Possibly, though they don't say on the packaging, and their description while touting the "green" side of hemp products doesn't say "MADE FROM HEMP". Hemp is used in many products such as money, cigarette papers (how appropriate), hygiene products (it's very absorbent) etc., and because it holds its strength when wet. But really... who cares, they are a conversation piece and Bicycle cards are always top quality. My son and his buddies play poker and cribbage with them daily and they are going strong.

I just ordered some and am new to cloth diapering... But yes, you must wash the cover and insert when used as a pocket diaper. I plan on ordering Prefolds and bamboo inserts and just putting those on the diaper instead of the insert and using the covers as covers. Hopefully to be able to reuse the cover a few times.

Yes but it is thicker than just a sheet so it will take up a little more space. You wouldn't want to carry it around all the time in a diaper bag unless you're not concerned on space. Excellent product for the pack & play crib!

I don't remember the material, but as long as the inserts are not microfiber you can use it against the skin. But the inserts that come with the diaper aren't great so you will probably need to use them in conjunction with another insert or a perfold

My son (5 1/2) doesn't wear any diapers or pull ups at night and in some cases has had some pretty massive accidents. This pad has never leaked. I wouldn't think that it could replace a diaper for an adult, but it could certainly take care of any leaks that may occur between changing.

They could be placed inside a prefold if extra absorbency is needed. You can place these in pocket diapers, layer on an All-in-one diaper, or even lay these inside a diaper cover (like a bum genius brand Flip diaper.) these are versatile and can be placed directly against babies skin if desired.

They can be used alone. But they don't absorb as quick as micro so might get leaks. I use alone and change more often. Or I'm thinking of using a layer or two of a flour sack towel cotton cheap thin towel from walmart about $1 and cotton can go against baby's skin when micro can't. But micro and cotton absorb quick and then slowly into the hemp.

yes, you can bake with it. But heat ruins the nutritional values of hemp oil, better to eat raw. Coconut oil is the best for cooking or baking!

I'm not sure. I haven't used hemp liners. These are very thin and SO absorbent (they fool you). I actually resort to disposable diapers at night time because my little guy is such a heavy wetter, that no amount of cloth diaper padding keeps him dry overnight. We use a large microfiber with 2 layers of bamboo for naptime, however, and that seems to do the trick. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

No, it doesn't work for the poop. It's not a perfect solution, but it's better than cleaning up poop and pee. How do you use regular diapers, do you just cut a hole for the tail?

Positively not. I'm a hairdresser and have used this product and all their products for years. I'm extremely satisfied and I just love all Hemps products. I'm using the gallon now and I'm very happy with it. Recommend highly

They could be used along, but are more effective under microfiber. Hemp absorbs a lot but slowly, so the microfiber helps to absorb the initial liquid quickly.
