Hemp Babies™ Bigger Weeds 55% Hemp, 45% Certified Organic Cotton Reviews (7) Write Review Rating: [1 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Heather on Monday 18 January, 2010We purchased these to extend our BG 3.0s through the night. We've been using disposable overnights because our cloth wasn't cutting it, leaking through every night. Several positive reviews commented specifically on what we wanted to do, combining the Hemp Babies with a cloth insert in a BG 3.0 to combat nighttime wetting.
Unfortunately for us, we still have a problem. We followed the pre-wash program exactly, and have since washed them several more times with the rest of our diapers. Here are the problems:
- Very bulky folded over (tripled), especially with a cloth insert in the center of the folds.
- Turns hard as a brick when wet
- With all the material packed into that diaper, our 8 month old baby is still leaking! We spent the extra money, and still have to buy disposables...boo.
Granted, we might just have a (very) heavy wetter, but we were disappointed that these didn't fix our problem. We are back to cloth during the day and an overnight disposable that handles the extra load just fine. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Tara on Monday 16 November, 2009 These are fantastic! We use them in our BG 3.0s for night-time and after 2 weeks have not had one leak. It's really amazing how much they will absorb. They are a bit long, but I fold the extra over and put that end toward the front for the extra absorbency. For the price of another package of disposables for night-time we got 3 of these and are now disposable free!! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Stephanie on Monday 13 April, 2009 I have found the solution to my overnight problems! My son was unable to last the night in a cloth diaper until I bought these. I use one as an insert in the BumGenius 3.0 diapers, and he can now make it through the night without leaking. These are awesome. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that they are a pain to care for initially, as they require 3-5 washes (with drying each time) and you can't pre-wash them with any other product, which seemed like a waste of water and electricity to me, but it is now worth it! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Brandy on Tuesday 10 February, 2009 These are very absorbent, but also very bulky when used as an insert in a BumGenius pocket diaper. We use this alone as our overnight insert with our 21 month old daughter and have had no leaks. Great absorbency, but be prepared for the bulk. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Tessa on Friday 18 April, 2008 For over a year, we've been using Bigger Weeds, a doubler and cover as our nighttime diaper and love them. They are super absorbent and clean up really well. We'd definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a soft, absorbent, well constructed diaper. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Carlee on Monday 28 January, 2008 These are awesome!!! I use these with all different kinds of covers as a night time solution and both of my kids (who are very heavy wetters) wake up totally dry!! And my daughter who is very diaper rash prone, wakes up with pink free skin! These are great with helping to prevent diaer rashes. Highly reccomended!! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Christina on Thursday 30 August, 2007 These are much more absorbent than a chinese prefold and much softer too. We're using these folded in thirds in a Bummis super whisper wrap cover since our kid soaks through CPFs too easily. If you plan on using these as a CPF replacement though, you'll have to pin or use a good fitting cover that will hold them in place without fastenings. WARNING -- if you are a Snappi fastener lover, it's almost impossible to get a good "grab" on these! That's the only reason we're not giving it the highest rating and we would have really liked to have known this fact before we switched over. View all 7 reviews |
