Cloth Nappy Inserts

Our cloth nappy inserts are designed to increase absorbency and customise your reusable nappy setup. Available in a range of materials and styles, inserts allow you to adjust performance based on your baby’s needs.

Cloth Nappy Inserts for Reusable Nappies

Waladi cloth nappy inserts are an essential part of a reusable nappy system. Inserts sit inside the nappy to provide absorbency, allowing parents to customise their setup depending on age, output, and time of day.

Using the right insert material and style can help improve absorbency, manage moisture, and reduce leaks when used correctly as part of your cloth nappy routine.

Choose the Right Insert Material

Different insert materials offer different benefits. Waladi offers a range of options to suit varying needs and preferences:

  • Bamboo inserts – soft, absorbent and popular for everyday use
  • Charcoal bamboo inserts – designed to help manage moisture and odours
  • Microfibre inserts – fast absorbing and lightweight
  • Hemp inserts – highly absorbent and ideal for boosting overnight nappies
  • Flushable biodegradable liners – designed to catch solids and simplify clean-up

Each material has its own absorbency and drying characteristics, which is why many parents use a combination depending on their routine.

Standard vs Gusseted Inserts

Some of our bamboo and charcoal bamboo inserts are available in both standard and gusseted designs. Gusseted inserts feature elasticated edges that help improve fit and reduce movement inside the nappy.

Parents often choose gusseted inserts for extra containment, while standard inserts offer a simple, flexible option that works well in most cloth nappies.

Designed to Work with Cloth Nappies

Cloth nappy inserts are designed to be layered or combined to suit your baby’s needs. You can adjust absorbency by adding or changing inserts as your baby grows or as routines change.
