Geffen Baby Quick Absorbers Review

Need more absorbency, but don’t have the funds to purchase new cloth diapers or expensive inserts? This is where Geffen Baby Quick Absorbers come to the rescue. These affordable boosters will fit well into any cloth diaper brand or style as a booster or a replacement insert.

Materials

Geffen Baby Quick Absorbers are made from five layers 60% Hemp and 40% Organic Cotton Jersey. This combination makes for a strong, thin, stretchy insert.  The added hemp content allows for added strength, absorbency, durability & anti-mildew and anti-microbial properties.

These absorbers need to be washed 3 times before they provide the best absorbency, but I simply tossed them in with three diaper laundry loads before use. They shrink a bit in the wash and can handle the low setting on your dryer. I especially liked how the absorbers contain hemp, but don’t dry with that stiff feeling of hemp. Drying time is also minimal and these don’t need extra time beyond your regular cycle.

Fit

Geffen Baby advertises these inserts as compatible with all brands of cloth diapers. I decided to give them a test drive in four different styles of diapers – a Grovia Hybrid, a Tots Bots AIO, an Ella Bella Bum Pocket, and a Tots Bots Fitted and Cover. I wish my little diaper tester had the patience to sit for photos of each fit, but he distinctly told me “no” when I tried. These photos help demonstrate how the booster fits in different diaper styles and have virtually no impact on the fit.

I also tried the insert folded into smaller sized diapers as a booster and found similar results, although I haven’t traditionally needed a booster on the smallest setting.

Grovia Hybrid

Baby is currently on the middle setting and the Geffen Baby Quick Absorber fits almost seamlessly on top of the insert. No folding is required, although you could fold it to emphasize absorbency in one particular area. 

Tots Bots AIO

We also use the middle setting in our Tots Bots AIO and I love how trim this diaper is! Since the attached insert folds down into a pocket, you can include the booster inside the pocket or put it on top. As you can see from the photo below, adding the insert adds no noticeable bulk. What you can’t see is that it adds enough absorbency to make this a great nap time diaper.

Ella Bella Bum Pocket

The Ella Bella Bum Pocket insert is already folded down when we use the diaper on the middle setting. When we add a Geffen Baby Super Absorber, you can barely tell the difference.

Tots Bots Fitted and Cover

Our Tots Bots Fitted is already pretty absorbent, but I’ve noticed that baby needs an additional boost now that he sleeps throughout the night. You can lay the Geffen Baby Quick Absorber inside the diaper against baby’s skin or on the outside between the fitted and the cover. I personally like it on the outside, but the fit is the same either way – slim and barely noticeable.

Geffen Baby Quick Absorbers as Boosters

Our youngest is outgrowing the absorbency of some of his diaper inserts, especially during nap time. I don’t always remember to grab my trusted fitteds and covers during the day. It’s also nice to have a less bulky option to put on with clothes during the day. The Geffen Baby Quick Absorbers make a huge difference in absorbency with virtually no added bulk. Simply lay on top of your usual insert.

Geffen Baby Quick Absorbers as Replacement Inserts

I’ll admit to feeling a bit dubious about these absorbers as stand-alone inserts. They are incredibly trim, but absorbent. I found that they fit well as a universal insert in my pocket diapers (which I don’t use as often as other styles). They also double layered and were often less bulky then just one traditional insert!

If your diapers need an absorbency boost, a pack of 3 absorbers is just $12. This is a very affordable addition to your stash.
