Hemp very absorbant (more so then bamboo) and very trim considering

microfibre dry fast, you can get them cheap off trade me. I used to use two microfibre inserts then have a hemp trifold behind them and it would last half the night.

I'd use hemp but if you choose microfibre make sure that it doesn't come into contact with babies skin.

I second microfibre - it is so much quicker to dry than hemp/cotton/bamboo. But when they're new, you have to wash them quite a few times before they become absorbent.

Have used bamboo, hemp and microfibre.
My preference is for 1 x hemp and 1 x microfibre (or 2 x hemp and 1 x microfibre for night) The microfibre needs to be the one closest to the baby (inside the pocket)

You really need to add a hemp or bamboo under the microfibre to add absorbency. Microfibre tends to squish when it's wet then leak under compression (like a soaked sponge). Add a hemp or bamboo underneath locks in the fluid and adds more absorption
Microfibre doesn't increase in absorbency the more it's washed - hemp & bamboo do (they need to be washed a few times to reach maximum absobency).

what others have said - a microfibre closest to baby (inside a pocket so no contact) and a double layer bamboo/hemp trifold behind. Lasts 12 hours plus.
