• Inserts can be used individually or snapped together to provide four different absorbency and size options
• Newborn Insert – 3 layers of organic cotton
• Full size insert – 5 layers of hemp/organic cotton
• Organic cotton is a soft, fast-absorber designed to rest closest to your baby's skin (beneath the pocket sleeve); hemp is a stable absorber and pairs perfectly behind the organic cotton to add more absorbency and prevent compression leaking

The Natural Pocket Diaper Inserts are the same as the insert that is sold with our Natural One Size Pocket Diaper. The newborn insert has 3 layers of 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. The full size insert has 5 layers of hemp/organic cotton. Organic cotton is a soft, fast-absorber designed to rest closest to your baby's skin (beneath the pocket diaper sleeve); hemp is a stable absorber and pairs perfectly behind the organic cotton to add more absorbency and prevent compression leaking.

Newborn Insert: 100% organic cotton

Full size insert: 55% hemp, 45% organic cotton

Before Use: Thirsties natural fiber diapers need 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.

At Every Wash Cycle:

• Prewash on warm
• Wash on hot
• Add another rinse on warm.
• 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 wool dryer balls to soften them.

Important Notes:

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

*A 15 minute cycle on hot in the dryer once a month is beneficial to lamination, and will not void your warranty.

Please avoid the following practices and/or additives that 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.
