As the quote from Hemp Traders points out, it can help soften the fabric, which in turn makes it more absorbent, so I do recommend drying in between washes.
As hemp is washed more and grows softer and softer, the absorbency will continue to grow, right along with your little one. Often, when talking about prepping natural fiber diapers, people will also say that bamboo fabric has natural oils in it just like they claim for hemp. They are made from bamboo that has been processed into rayon using toxic chemicals. Several hotel suppliers, newspapers, and even Martha Stewart explain that many towels come with fabric softeners in them making them nice and fluffy for shoppers which inhibit their absorption.
When I say synthetic material diapers, I mean that to include microfiber, charcoal bamboo which are most often microfiber wrapped in fleece , and the polyester linings and reusable liners used in cloth diapering. This is widely accepted in the cloth community, and proven by experience. Almost all of the synthetic materials used in cloth diapering are not for absorption, with the exception of microfiber and bamboo , and my research into microfiber which you can read more of here has found no special care instructions for microfiber other than making sure not to use fabric softeners of course, and drying on low-medium heats at most.
This all means that washing once with hot water and soap is sufficient to prep synthetic diapers. Boiling is not necessary for natural fabrics and can harm synthetics, melt snaps, etc. Boiling is NOT advised. You will not have any repelling issues if you add the synthetics to the second prep wash for the natural fibers so that everything is done by the second wash cycle.
Please see the above Cloth Diaper Testing link for further confirmation. You may notice the absorbency may increase slightly after the first wash cycle, but it is not enough to waste water and time to continue washing them before their very first use. Manufacturer chemicals and any natural oils will be sufficiently out of the materials after a good wash with detergent.
Wash your diapers like the laundry they are, and be on your way! Then wash once. Q: Can I prep all my diapers together?
