    you can make your own liners for terry flats or any other nappy. jus cut polar fleece into appropriate shapes.

    by the way, terry flats rock!

    fold them into gaynor or jo fold for newborns, bat/chinese fold from about 5 weeks on. v. absorbant - better containment than prefolds and the same result.

    dry super fast, real cheap. tuck the legs in as you put them on with a snappy nappy, add a good cover and bingo - almost poo proof! (MUCH more poo proof than a sposie or an AIO.)

    Heh! I like the term "Poo Proof". Sometimes it seems nothing can withstand the mightiest of bum explosions from my 5 month old son.

    What's a snappy nappy?

    We've been using disposables ever since our nappy service subscription ran out. Simply 'cos wife dreads endless hours of laundry plus the confusion about the abundence of choice in regards to modern cloth nappies. I know it's uneconomical and not good for the environment- but the convenience is addictive.
