Our Classic Nappy Inserts are designed for parents who need reliable, long-lasting absorbency - whether you're boosting your current nappies or replacing well-loved inserts in your existing shells.
Each insert features 5 layers of natural fibres, carefully chosen to balance softness, absorption, and trimness. Mix and match to customise the perfect fit for your baby.
Why You’ll Love Them
Universally compatible: Perfect for boosting or swapping into most modern cloth nappy shells.
Natural fibres = real absorbency: Hemp and bamboo hold more liquid (than cotton, microfibre, bamboo charcoal etc), are suitable for sensitive (including eczema) skin and are very breathable.
Multiple options to suit your absorbency + trimness needs.
Budget-friendly way to refresh your stash without buying new nappies.
Terry Top V2
Our most popular combo for softness against the skin and heavy-duty absorbency underneath. Great for day use and moderate wetters.
Bamboo Terry: 34cm
Hemp Cotton: 34cm
Terry Top V1
Same fibre pairing as the Terry Top V2. The Hemp is slightly stiffer (easier to stuff and holds the nappy shape).
Bamboo Terry: 33cm
Hemp Cotton: 32cm
Hemp-Top
In this pairing, the Hemp snaps onto the Bamboo insert.
Hemp Cotton: 34.5cm
Bamboo Fleece: 34.5cm
Note: Bamboo fleece is firmer than terry (which is towel-like material). This is great for those who prefer a sturdier insert.
OG-Duo
Our smallest and trimmest Classic insert-style. Perfect for using from newborn, smaller babies or as a slim booster without bulk.
Bamboo Fleece: 31cm
Hemp Cotton: 32.5cm
NOTE
All inserts are made from 5 layers of natural fibres (hemp, bamboo terry, or bamboo fleece).
Allow 1–2cm variation due to manual cutting and stitching.
Shrinkage after the first few washes is normal - natural fibres tighten and increase absorbency over time.
Inserts may feel slightly different between batches due to the nature of bamboo and hemp.
To get the best results from your nappies we recommend following these 4 simple steps:
1. Dry Pail
Remove solids from the nappy, separate inserts from the shell and place in a dry pail (any basket with holes).
2. Pre-Wash
Run a short wash cycle every 1-2 days. Spin dry and put in a different dry pail until your main wash day.
3. Main-wash cycle
Every 3-4 days, run a long main wash cycle.
4. Dry
Inserts - Can be dried in the sun or tumble-dried.
Shells - Line dry in the shade (high heat will affect the laminate).
Monarch nappies (I got the lite ultimate wipeable) and inserts are by far my favourite reusable I have come across.
The inserts are thicker and wider than others brands I've used, so they absorb more and fit more snug. I also love that they come in packs to suit different needs; Cotton for night as they absorb more, Hemp for day as they absorb a little less, but help keep most of the moisture away from my baby's skin.

Our Favourite
We have tried a bunch of different brands and keep coming back to Monarch as the inserts and nappies work the best with our now toddler. Would and have recommended this brand to other patents.

Great inserts, so soft and super absorbent. They can take a long time to dry but their amazing absorbency is worth it!
