Can anyone recommend liners?

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

Thanks for the links and advice.... as always appreciated

I cut out 30 last night...don't have that many nappies but it's nice to have some spares. Am going to line some woolly pants with some as well.

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'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!

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.

Awesome, off to buy some microfleece!!!!

That's the same thing I thought Sophiasmummy...

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.

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