Our Charcoal Insert Sets are the original Lil Helper anti-diaper-rash solution. Each insert is made from a charcoal blend outer layer with two super-absorbent microfiber layers inside — all 100% polyester. This smart combo can hold up to 180 mL of liquid while keeping your little one feeling dry and comfy.

Naturally hypoallergenic, deodorizing, and antibacterial, charcoal helps soothe even the most stubborn diaper rashes, all while resisting stains and odors. Pro Tip: These inserts snap right into your Lil Helper diaper covers and can be mixed and matched with other insert types to fit your baby’s unique needs.

Charcoal vs. Bamboo: Choose Your Perfect Fit

Both Charcoal and Bamboo Inserts deliver incredible absorbency, but they shine in different ways:

  • Charcoal: Stay-dry feel, darker color hides stains, dries quickly.
  • Bamboo: Lets your little one feel wetness, ideal for potty training, and offers slightly more absorbency.

Use Charcoal when you want a clean, dry feel and easy care. Use Bamboo when you’re tracking hydration or encouraging potty independence. No matter which you choose, all Lil Helper inserts work interchangeably and wash together — no sorting, no stress.

Easy Care, No Fuss

Washing your Charcoal Inserts couldn’t be simpler. Since they contain no PUL, you can toss them right in with your diaper laundry — just remember to unsnap them first! They’re dryer-safe on medium heat, or you can hang them to air dry if you prefer.

No special prep or routines needed, wash once before first use to remove any warehouse dust, and they’ll be ready to go. Quick Drying Bonus: Charcoal inserts dry faster than bamboo, saving you time and keeping your stash ready for action.
