Whitewave, I use the J&J liners as wipes as well. I find they wash really really well. I had boxes left over from DD when she was little & I had this grandiose idea to use cloth. ]]> Wed, 15 Jul 2009 15:45:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=723317&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#723317 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : Thanks Ladies! ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=722993&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#722993 Author: Ladybird84

Ladybird, make sure you ask - when I went looking for microfleece at Spotlight, all I could see was polar fleece varieties, so I asked and they didn't actually have any in!
Polar fleece actually repels moisture, compared with the microfleece which allows moisture to pass through, so you need to make sure you get the right stuff.]]> Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:29:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=722761&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#722761 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : Ladybird84 wrote:I went into...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=722686&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#722686 Author: kiwivic

I think 'microfleece' is what you're after, as apposed to 'polar fleece' - it's thinner and softer. Hope that helps!

A bit late coming to this thread, but we're using flushable liners with our Baby Cheeks nappies. We're also on a septic tank.

I've used various brands, some thicker and some thinner, but they all bunch up around DD's front but not at the back where the BM's sit, which is where I want them to do their thing.

I've just ordered some off a seller on trade me, username "noonespecial". So will see what they're like, as they're cheaper ($40 for 6 rolls of 100/roll) than the one's I've been buying, which are around $10 for 100.]]> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 19:32:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=720193&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#720193 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : Not sure about that myself, I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=718113&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#718113 Author: whitewave

Not sure about that myself, I usually use Curash powder which is not a problem with cloth nappies. If he has a bad rash, I'll sometimes use Bepanthen and just use a sposie, cos I'm paranoid about getting cream on my lovely cloth nappies!

As an aside, I'd just bought a box of Johnson's liners (not realising they weren't flushable) before I made my microfleece ones. I thought I'd have a whole box going to waste, until I tried using one as a wipe - they're great! I have some flannel offcuts sitting on the sewing table waiting to be cut up and sewn into cloth wipes, but until I get round to that job, the Johnson's liners are much better for Cam's botty than the Pam's wipes I'd been using!]]> Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:32:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=718113&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#718113 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : That&#039;s the same thing I thought...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=717804&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#717804 Author: rachelsea

While we are on the topic of liners I have a question, I use the johnsons ones, I like them and they wash well, I just use them when we get nappy rash as I use bepanthen and I don't want it on the cloth nap. But I have some microfleece ones, but I have not used them because I thought the bepanthen would build up in them and they would not wick away the moisture and she would have a wet bum? Can someone clarify this for me??? I hope this makes sense!]]> Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:22:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=716900&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#716900 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : Awesome, off to buy some microfleece!!!!...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=716707&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#716707 Author: mummyofprinces

Rachel, you don't need to overlock microfleece, it's great! It won't fray apparently.

If you buy some microfleece to make your own liners, do they need overlocking? Or can you just cut them up and use them? (I don't have a sewing machine!) I have some flushable liners but gave up using them after a couple of weeks because of the bunching. ]]> Sun, 05 Jul 2009 18:28:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=716346&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#716346 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : I was using flushable liners,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=716126&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#716126 Author: whitewave

I was using flushable liners, which were great other than I got sick of peeling it off Campbell's skin, because it stuck to him rather than the nappy!

Have just cut up some microfleece liners last night, and DH tells me it worked well (he just did the last nappy change!).]]> Sun, 05 Jul 2009 11:08:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=716126&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#716126 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : I&#039;ve heard that paper liners...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=715997&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#715997 Author: kiwivic

I've heard that paper liners can bunch up but I've never had that probem with my microfleece ones. I put them in Max's newborn nappies and the meconium slid right off with a rinse under my laundry tap, without leaving a simgle mark! ]]> Sat, 04 Jul 2009 22:39:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=715997&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#715997 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : I use the microfleece washable...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=715945&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#715945 Author: blondy

I use the microfleece washable ones from ecobubs (just bought some when i bought a couple of nappies), and also some from snazzipants....probably would have been much cheaper to buy some microfleece and cut them up myself, but knowing me, I'd still be waiting to get around to it! I have also tried some flushable ones (as i thought it would be easier for her in daycare), but I find it just as easy (if slightly messier) to use the washables. Fortunately the poo is normally quite cohesive (for want of a better term!). I don't find the microfleece ones bunch up at all, not sure about the flushables - haven't really thought to look!]]> Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:34:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=715945&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#715945 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : Don&#039;t notice that they do....but...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=715909&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#715909 Author: LeahandJoel

Don't notice that they do....but then i've never looked for that lol, am just normally looking for how far the poo has spread!!  All the ones I cut out could have been about an inch loger than I made them....bummer, never mind if it bugs me too much I have so much microfleece that I can make some more. They are so soft and lovely against their butts, wishing I had some for my butt now!!!

I absolutely love the microfleece liners made by Ecomoon - trendyvogue on Trade Me! They're hourglass shaped and soooo soft. They're really cheap too, compared with other named-brands washable liners. They fit a medium Itti Bitti perfectly

I just use microfleece cut into liner shape (you can get cheap seconds from Greenbeans) rinse and reuse. The first lot I made 2.5yrs ago and am still using and yesterday bought some more microfleece that DH is picking up for me today so I can make some more as I have more nappies than liners at the moment. Cost me $11 for more than 2 meters and that will make a huge amount, I may also cut some wash cloths as well as my flannels are getting a bit old!

We're rural too so I know you have to be careful which flushable liners you use with a septic tank. There's a bit of a tradeoff I'm afraid - the spunlace liners you can get from places like Mother's Instinct are lovely and soft and flush into the septic no problem but they do tend to bunch up which means they're not nearly as much use as the crisper ones.

At the moment I'm using unbleached cellulose Disana flushable liners (from Organic Island Baby). They don't guarantee those are ok in septics but I got them because we use them pretty much only for daycare, if they're only wet they can be washed and reused, and TBH I've now flushed a fair few soiled ones and haven't had any problems (and our septic is pretty ancient). They're compostable so I guess that means they break down. They're nice and soft and while they're made of the same stuff they have a bit more substance to them than the spunlace ones.

I'm thinking I should just cut up some microfleece for washable liners though! Although I've considered getting some raw silk ones, those are apparently marvellous for nappy rash.

Hope that helps ]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:39:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=714369&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#714369 <![CDATA[Can anyone recommend liners? : Dear all cloth mummies, Nobody...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=714333&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#714333 Author: Basil_brush

Dear all cloth mummies,

Nobody I know uses cloth so I have to ask this here!!!

We are using Baby cheeks MCNs and as my little darling is about to start solids I think it might be time to investigate liners... at the moment we're not using any and they're fine but solid poos might be more of a battle.
I bought some biodegradable liners from Baby City that you could flush in the loo (we're rural so have septic tank) but they were so rough I couldn't put them next to her soft wee bottom.

Does anyone have suggestions? Obviously flushable would be best but others are OK too...

Thanks in advance!!! ]]> Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:08:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27288&PID=714333&title=can-anyone-recommend-liners#714333
