Do I need to prime my diapers before first use? 

You should prewash your Little Beetle ONE or hemp diapers and doublers once on a HOT wash cycle with a small amount of your normal detergent and then tumble dry. This is all that is needed to prime the diapers/doublers for first use. They will continue to gain absorbency over the next few wash/dry cycles, but are fine to use after that first wash. :-)
