if youre making you own with options, id go for the bamboo inner and ov topper for the soaker. i havent felt bamboo terry before, so thats why i didnt say that against the baby, but even though velour is cotton (well this kind is LOL) it has a little bit of a stay dry sort of thing as well because of the loops, its not totally stay dry buty its better than just plain cotton stuff against them, thohg pretty nice and absorbant and it feels great <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/orngbiggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="orange big grin"><br><br>
i love hemp, but yeah it does sometimes get really stiff, and stink. bamboo itself i havent had stink, only the hemp with it, and ov i havent had stink at all, so if i could do it, thats what id do <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"><br><br>

oh and the t&t or serged options just are different to the baby to me, for a long time, anything t&t dug in horribly on his legs, but serged didnt, but a lot of people like the neater look of t&t. alsoemp t&t does get more stiff feeling to me, around the leg holes for a newwer baby id mucjh prefer to not get that, but thats me...
