No, from my experience they don't stay in place. Infact I had a pack once and they annoyed the cr@p out of me so much i didn't even finish them.... and i'm a very frugal person who usually "makes-do" and will use something up just to save money. I think I threw them out. I don't know why i bothered really.... i already had 2 dozen washable (re-usable) ones... now THEY are great! They are nice and big and aren't so "filmy" they stay in place even though baby might be active or squirmy. However they are best used with flats. I guess if you were using MCN then the oblong flushable's would be your only choice... what kind of clothie are you using? (BTW my triangular washable liners lasted 3 babies and are still going strong!)

SJ: ah! yes I think i bought the flushables for outings....
