Cloth Diaper Solution for Night Time

If your baby is a heavy wetter at night time it can be difficult to find a cloth diaper that won't leak. Many mom's have turned to pocket diapers where you can stuff them with as many cloth inserts as you can fit. This is what we had resorted to. Our daughter's diapers were getting so big at night it was a wonder she could roll over! After some research I decided to try Kickernappies Super-Do Diaper Inserts, which I purchased from Simple Wonders. These inserts are made with 6 layers of hemp terry and 2 layers of ultra-thirsty microfiber. Hemp is one of the most absorbent diaper materials currently on the market, beating out microfiber and bamboo.  After one month of using the Super-Do we have had only one night of leaks and that was most likely a daddy diaper snap on error.

 On the left is the Kickernappies Super-Do and the right is what we were using: a Softbum super insert and two charcoal inserts all made from microfiber.  

I have been very pleased with the performance of the Super-Do. My only complaint would be the price. They are $12.95 an insert retail which is expensive in the cloth insert world. However, since they are only being used at night you don't need very many. I currently have four Super-Do's and could probably get by with three. If you are running out of room in your night time pocket diaper look into trying out a hemp insert. There are many other hemp inserts on the market today, such as, Happy Heinys Hemp Stuffins and Rumparooz hemp 6hr soaker.
