Hemp Babies™ Flat Weeds (Hemp Flats) are completely customizable to your baby's shape. These flats are a 27" x 27" square of hemp jersey made with 55% Hemp, 45% Certified Organic Cotton. One layer means that they wash and dry amazingly well!
Many customers find these a perfect, super absorbent one-size system, fitting your baby from birth through potty training. As your baby gets older (or for overnights), you can just lay another folded flat inside for some extra absorbency.
Flats are also great way to stuff your pocket diapers. Because they are one layer of material, flats get clean very, very easily. If needed, you can even hand wash this product!! Flats also line dry in a snap.
If you are traveling internationally and may be without a washer or dryer, this is one of the products that we'd recommend for your trip.
What makes these inserts so popular:
These inserts measure approximately 27"x27" square unwashed. Hemp will shrink significantly after washing.
55% hemp jersey, 45% certified organic cotton.
After these hemp inserts have been primed (see below), wash as you would your regular diapers.
How to prepare for first use
We recommend washing and drying these inserts four times before using for the first time (that's wash - dry - wash - dry - wash - dry - wash - dry). Hemp has natural oils in it that need to be removed before it becomes absorbent. It will take eight or more washings before it reaches its maximum absorbency.
When washing your hemp the first few times do NOT wash it with your fleece products (like bumGenius 5.0 pockets or Rumparooz pockets). The oils from the hemp will coat the fleece, making it repel. After your hemp has been fully primed, you may wash it with all of your diapering products.
Our Experience-Hemp is 50% more absorbent than cotton, making it a great insert for heavy wetters or for night time.

About Cotton Babies
Cotton Babies began with $100 worth of product in a tiny green milkcrate stored on a shelf in our kitchen. It grew from there to a bookshelf, then a closet, then a bedroom, then a basement and finally, the business exploded into commercial space.
Today, Cotton Babies is a privately held market leader in the juvenile product industry and a diverse retailer, offering everything a family needs to take care of their baby. Our primary focus is cloth diapers, but we also offer a wealth of other products designed to make parenting easy!
Where are we?
Cotton Babies is located in St. Louis, Missouri. Our online and administrative operations run out of a large campus located in Fenton, Missouri, a community that lies on the southern border of St. Louis County. Additionally, we have a retail store serving the St. Louis area located in Town & Country, Missouri, and a manufacturing facility located in Denver, Colorado.
Activism
Our owner, Jennifer Labit, cares deeply about growth of the cloth diapering industry. She was the founding chair of the Real Diaper Industry Association, a 501(c)6 trade association created for cloth diaper retailers, manufacturers, diaper services, media and other parties with an interest in the cloth diaper industry. Under the leadership of a diverse board, the RDIA is healthy and growing rapidly as they labor to expand consumer awareness of cloth diapers and support industry needs in an exploding cloth diaper market.
Social Responsibility
Today, Jenn is focused on raising the standard of excellence in the baby industry through creative designs and unique marketing approaches. Her goals are continued growth of the cloth diaper category in an effort to reduce waste and raise the standard of living in areas her company has influence. Cotton Babies reaches out to local families through targeted outreaches designed to get cloth diapers in the hands of the less fortunate. Cotton Babies also provides cloth diapers to thousands of missionaries through the Diaper Grant program.
Corporate Philosophies
In an industry filled with abundant diversity, Cotton Babies endeavors to build bridges with people, not walls over differences. We operate our retail stores under the premise that "every mom leaves our store feeling like a good mom". When designing new products, our goal is always to support parents at every point on the spectrum and offer a variety of customizable options to fit their unique needs.
Cotton Babies wants to see cloth diapers in every home across America. Our owners created the bumGenius brand, the Flip Hybrid Diapering System, and Econobum. Each brand is designed to reach out to a different unique market segment. Today, Cotton Babies' brands are sold through thousands of independent juvenile stores worldwide and major retailers.
Cotton Babies wants to make it easy for more families to use cloth diapers. With bumGenius, Flip and Econobum, we've increased accessibility to cloth diapers by recognizing families at different places in life. We believe that every parent and baby is unique. These distinctions demand a variety of options.
