terutera - i make my liners to suit the inside of the nappies (that we have). To make sure you make them LONG enough, remember to stretch out the nappy long ways (from tummy side to back side) as that is how the nappy will be, once it's on your child. When nappy is scrunched up, it makes the length look shorter. so don't forget that one.
different nappies have a different sized "wetzone", i often make bone or hourglass shaped ones, or even keyhole ones (spread out round at the back end, just straight at the tummy end).
as long as what you make, covers the "wetzone", you're laughing.
so maybe get out a tape measure, lay out a few types of nappies you have, and measure the narrowest part of the width.
stretch out the nappies longways to see how long you'll need them.
them have a play, deciding which shapes to cut out.
you can always do a test run.
cut out the size you THINK you'll need, out of PAPER, and test it out on a nappy (just laying it on top of the inner to see with your eye, if you have got it or not.
when you have a paper on you're happy with, that becomes your TEMPLATE to cut out the others.
that's a cheaper way of stuffing up, that immed cutting into material! Esp if you're using expensive fabric like raw silk or bamboo velour!! but the microfleece and flannelette liners are cheap.
you can make the liners out of
raw silk from nappies covered (if you need therapeutic ones for nappy rash),
cotton velour, bamboo velour, flannellette (if your child is rashy and you need the natural fibres to increase breathability) or
microfleece if you're going for the "stay dry effect".
Microfleece is normally sold at spotlight, but as a winter stock item, so hard to get this time of year.

Gigi - I am here hon, thanks for asking!! Have been lurking but don't have anything to post, what with the Punk in sposies atm... I have been packing a little bit each day, packed the nappies today actually so we really won't be using cloth now until after we move - there are 2 suitcases full!!!
We are moving on the 27th, ridiculous timing no?!
alioops - I think I am having similar issues to what you were having re: instant redness when not in spossies... what did you end up doing??? (Help!! I want to get Punk back in cloth THE SECOND we arrive in our new house!)
As nioce as it is that they pee on the potty...there's the let down of coming of the MCN addiction Mel
I still find it depressing that I cant buy girl nappies for Vy anymore I saw a gorgeous one of WC and I almost bought it until I remembered there was no need
Fiona - god he looks like you....friggen gorgeous little guy! No luck on the cow either doesn't matter
Vic - me miss you heaps woman........I hope you wont be off line for long and who cares about nappy stuff...come in here and park buttox
Rhoda - little blue swimming side snapping fuzzibums swimmer here for ya...drop me your addy and I'll send it on to you
Ang - were art though Ang????
Were the hell is everyone???? What Ive had a shower and no more stinky Ja ja
Of for a nice car trip tomorrow...hehehe I so cant wait!!!!
Im around just been out for ice cream and a play at the park by the beach. Sweated like a pig even though it was cloudy so Im guessing I'll be needing a ja ja cleaning shower too Maz Both the boys are in sposies now as its bedtime but theyve quite enjoyed the MCN extravaganza today. Hardly any arguing about nappy changes which is a plus as I dont have the energy to hold down 14kg and 12kg of toddler with poop between their buttcheeks. Yep we had a poo (and a runny one at that WAH!) but I rinsed the Itti, washed it then line dried it and NO STAIN To withstand the almost acid like toxicity of my boys butts is amazing.
Even though I have enough naps for the older boyo's I think Im going to need to buy more, maybe some fitteds with cool covers.................Dh will scream if he hears me say that
