Would you recommend flushable liners?

[Lady-bug]

A question for all you experienced clothies....do you/would you recommend using flushable liners?

If so why??

If not why??

Thanks in advance!!

I use them when i am out, more for convienece (not nice carrying around poo all day, not that she is on solids yet so they are not too bad yet thou )

When i am at home i use fleece liners. they are softer on the skin and MJ feels drier with them in.
The flushable ones dont feel as nice IMO ... not that they are on my bum

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....

I used them sometimes with DS, and will probably do the same this next one.
I only used them in situations when I thought baby was going to do a poo soon, but wouldnt nessacarily pee, so then I could take out the flushable poo`d liner and put the nappy back on. Saved on a few washes and disposables.

I'm going to be using Tots Bots and flats (flats for when just at home). Do you make your own liners??

[Nai]

Yes they are good for outings and also in cases of bad nappy rash where you require sticky creams. The creams help them stay in place and your nappy doesn't stain.

[Salsa]

yes, I forgot about that, Nai makes a good point. They are very useful to use if baby has some sort of thick barrier cream or ointment on. Otherwise that stuff can be hard to get out of fabric.

I Do you make your own liners??

Yep - i just went down to spot light and bought a metre or so of fleece and cut it up...
I also made some larger squares and use them as wipes, they then all go in the wash...
May have to rethink the wipes when she starts doing more solid poo's thou as i dont think they will be that great with sticky poo's - in the hospital we just used facewashers/flannels (I NEVER use face washers in hospital - i know what i use them to wipe up )

We use natures child bioliners which are flushable. they are great and don't bunch. But DS is a pretty reliable poo'er (he's a morning person. lol!) so we only use a liner when we expect to need them IYKWIM,.
