Microfibre - quick at absorbing

Hemp - holds a lot of liquid but is slower at absorbing

Bamboo - very soft and holds a fair amount of liquid (kinda in between hemp and microfibre I think)

As for whats best, it depends on the person. During the day I just use microfibre.

At night I use a combination of hemp and microfibre. Microfibre on its own doesn't work for us at night (even using 2 of the new honeychild inserts which are meant to hold mega amounts of pee still leak). The microfibre quickly draws the pee away from Daniels bum and all the hemp behind it slowly absorbs it all, making for a dry butt in the morning.

We have to use m/fibre and hemp during the day and at night. I haven't used bamboo to compare but I've heard really good things especially because it is trimmer.
There's also BKT which I think G&T knows a bit about (sorry if wrong person!) but haven't tried myself either.

Another note - microfibre = quickdrying

hemp = not quick drying

bamboo = even slower drying

Oh yeah, and bamboo and hemp are naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal (I think).

But I don't know if I could say any one was better than the other... just used for different things, ya know?
