The absorbent material placed inside a pocket nappy largely determines how effective the nappy will be. Anything absorbent can be used inside pocket nappies, including old handtowels, cotton t-shirts etc. in an emergency! Prefold nappies can be used and these can work well, as can pad-folded terries, but specially designed inserts give pocket nappies their slim fit and absorb liquid quickly, before leaks can occur. Our inserts will fit into any pocket nappy (except Swaddlebees pocket nappies which have specially designed inserts) and can be combined with any booster for extra absorbency if required.

Wonder-Fulls One-Size inserts: made from hemp or microterry fabric
Absorbent, trim, one-size hemp insert for pocket nappies.
Really two inserts in one, this is an extremely reliable, super-slim insert, designed by a mum in the USA and extremely popular there. Wonder-Fulls consist of one large insert and one small insert that can be snapped together to make it easy to put them into the nappy. For newborns and just use the smaller insert. For larger infants and toddlers snap the inserts together or use just the larger part. Wonder-Fulls are made from either hemp fabric or microterry.

Hemp Wonder-Fulls inserts
Hemp fabric is more absorbent than cotton and has anti-microbial properties to help keep your baby's skin healthy. Hemp is an extremely environmentally friendly fibre too, as it can be grown without the use of pesticides and fertilizers etc. (Click for more information on why choose organic fibres.) The top layer is made from hemp-fleece which absorbs liquid quickly, before leaks can occur, making Wonder-Fulls out-perform other hemp inserts in this respect. Approximately 0.6cm thick when both inserts are used together.

Microterry Wonder-Fulls inserts
Microterry is a synthetic material, meaning that it stays very soft, even in hard water areas. It is very absorbent and so makes for a slim insert, though is not quite as slim as hemp. It absorbs liquid extremely quickly which reduces the chances of leaks. These inserts are made from very high quality fluffy microterry and are approximately 1.5cm thick when both inserts are used together.

Wonder-Fulls are the perfect shape for pocket nappies, giving excellent coverage and protection from leaks, whilst keeping them trim. At the front and underneath, where your baby needs absorbency most, there are six layers of hemp or microterry fabric (when the two parts are snapped together). At the back where less absorbency is needed there are only three layers of hemp or microterry, to keep the nappy trim to fit under clothes etc. However, the insert becomes nice and broad at the back so that a large amount of the nappy area is covered, making it protect against leaks better than a simple rectangular shape.

We recommend Wonder-Fulls for use with all our pocket nappies (apart from Swaddlebees), and they work particularly well with Wonderoos and Fuzzi Bunz. They fit into small, medium large and XL Fuzzi Bunz. Wonder-Fulls can also be used as a shaped nappy in a similar way to prefolds, inside a snug-fitting wrap with a liner on top, or as a booster for any type of nappy.

At first glance Wonder-Fulls seem more expensive than other inserts, but because they adapt from birth to potty training there's no need to buy more than one size of inserts, making them economical. When you compare the price of one Wonder-Full with the price of two or three sizes of other inserts they offer fantastic value. Furthermore their shape means that you get a lot of fabric for your money compared with other, less generously cut inserts! You will almost certainly not need to buy boosters for use with these inserts.

'SuperBamboo' bamboo inserts
Soft, stretchy absorbent inserts made from Bamboo fabric. New bamboo terry style.
We are delighted to be able to offer these excellent high-quality inserts to the UK. Made in France by P'tits Dessous ("Little Pants"), they consist of layers of fine terry fabric made from bamboo fibre which is soft, silky and stretchy! Bamboo is a very 'green' crop as it has a very short growth cycle and is easily cultivated without the use of chemical pesticides. (Click for more information on why choose organic fibres.) It also has antibacterial properties making it an ideal nappy fabric. More absorbent weight-for-weight than cotton it gives an extremely trim pocket nappy insert and remains very soft, even in hard water areas.

This insert is a simple rectangular shape, around 67cm long by 13cm wide, with overlock stitching around the edge to keep it neat. The inserts are available in two sizes:
Size 1 (cream with red stitching) for small nappies (or for use as a booster for any nappies) comprises of 3 layers which is then folded in half to give 6 layers which is 0.5cm thick (e.g. for a small Fuzzi Bunz).
Size 2 (cream with blue stitching) has 4 layers of Bamboo terry and is ideal for use in medium or large nappies, folded in half to give 8 layers.

We recommend this insert for use with Fuzzi Bunz, Wonderoos, Slinki & Standard Minkis, and Nature Babies Stuffables and Mommy's Touch pocket nappies. One insert will suit most babies for daytime use. For night nappies try two bamboo inserts or use together with any other insert. Superbamboo inserts are fantastic to use under a microterry insert for heavy wetters and will not become stiff in hard water.

Care Store with your nappies and machine wash at 40 or up to 60ºC. They can be tumble-dried on a low heat or hang to dry. These inserts are made from a dense fibre and are relatively slow-drying, taking a similar time to dry as Wonder-Full hemp inserts.

Fuzzi Bunz / Mother of Eden micro-terry inserts
Soft, absorbent, microfibre insert for pocket nappies by the maker of Fuzzi Bunz.
These , slim-fitting pads were designed for use with Fuzzi Bunz, but are suitable for any pocket nappy. They are made from three layers of microfibre terry, which absorbs between the fibres rather than into the fibres themselves, as in cotton. Being a man-made fibre it is lightweight, very soft, even when wet, looks slim and dries very quicky. We recommend microterry inserts if you live in a hard water area as microterry does not get stiff as natural fibres can do.

One insert will suit light wetters for daytime use but for medium to heavy wetters you will need a booster for longer periods (see below) . Try two inserts for night time. These inserts are available in two sizes:
Small For the Small pocket nappies (size approx. 14 x 30.5cm)
Large For Large/Extra Large/Petite Toddler nappies (size approx. 14 x 39.5cm).

Tip An economical way to use these inserts is to buy the small size for the small pocket nappies and the large for the medium and large pocket nappies. Your small inserts can then be used as boosters with the large inserts when your child needs greater absorbency. The small insert can be placed so that it adds a second layer at the front and underneath of the nappy, where your child needs it most. (However, if a slimmer nappy is required you might wish to try the boosters below.)

Care Store and wash with your pocket nappies ~ wash on hot and hang to dry or tumble dry on low heat.

Swaddlebees inserts
Narrow inserts made from microterry or hemp.
There inserts are specially-designed for Swaddlebees nappies, and it is highly recommended that they are used together as a system. The Swaddlebees inserts are cut to the super-trim 'hourglass' contour of the nappy to give a trim fit between the legs. Swaddlebees inserts are made from either hemp or microterry and are available in small, medium and large to fit the appropriate nappy.
Hemp Made from FIVE layers of hemp French terry, the inserts are sewn together at each end but open out into a loop for quicker drying. Absorbency is 6 - 8 oz of fluid depending on the size.
Microterry Made from three layers of plush microterry fabric. Absorbency is 7 - 10 oz of fluid depending on the size.

Due to their narrow cut we do not recommend Swaddlebees be used as the only insert in pocket nappies (apart from Swaddlebees nappies of course), but they make excellent trim boosters for any pocket nappy or shaped nappy with a pocket.
