Inserts

Insert

Absorbent layer, rectangular shaped, either set onto the waterproof cover or stuffed inside a pocket style diaper.

Doubler

Inserts that are intended to be used as added absorbency to another insert, prefold or flat. They are typically smaller than the main absorbent layer.

Booster

Booster

    Inserts/absorbent layers that are added to the regular absorbent layer to increase absorbency. Sometimes called a doubler.

Biodegradable Inserts

Biodegradable Inserts

    Also known as disposable inserts, these throw-away, single use absorbent layers require a waterproof diaper cover. They are rectangular, and if (pee only) composted in your garden, are supposed to biodegrade within 6 months. When placed in the landfill, they will decompose faster than disposables, but it is unknown exactly how long this takes.
