How to prep AIOs? How to prep doublers and liners?

[heatherweh]

I bought some sposoEasy AIOs and some hemp doublers and fleece liners. The only thing I've prepped so far is cloth diapers- six or so hot washes and 3 dries. Do I prep these guys the same way?

[inky leeuhhh]

when we got our spososeasy i just washed it once before i used it and kept in mind it hadn't reached it's full absorbancy yet. i just used it as a daytime at home dipe till i figured it'd been washed enough, lol. if you wanted to be absolutely sure it was all the way prepped before using it ( im super impatient and usually use dipes before then)- id wash maybe 4 times and dry at least a couple.

Just wash and dry a few times, and you should be fine. The hemp needs to be boiled, I believe, to remove the natural oils.

I have no hemp experience. I wash everything a few times before using it and then it's all good.

The SposoEasys and hemp doublers can and should be prepped the same way and together. All natural fibers (cotton, hemp, bamboo) need at least 4 washes to be usable and they will gain in absorbency even after that. The fleece liners should be kept separate from the others during the other diapers' prepping. The fleece will only need one wash.
