I have not tried to do the bikini twist with a hemp prefold. They are softer than cotton prefolds, but more stiff. I can see why you might have problems. Maybe try a cotton prefold to get the technique down?

I find it easiest to start with the diaper flat underneath DD. I then twist the prefold in front of her, and sort of position the twist where I want it. Then I fold down the front as much as I need to and snappi.

I think you may be pleasantly surprised at how absorbant prefolds are. But you can always add a doubler if you need one.
