    If you use a liner it should be ok.

    Get some flushable liners so you don't have to scrub the heck out of cloth ones.

    Are you near a spotlight? If you can get micro polar fleece cheap enough you could make up some liners but you'd have to scrub them with hot water and detergent to get the vaseline out of them.

    That's really the only other option I can think of.

    The weenees flushable liners are a great barrier and I use them for nappy rash that is bad enough that I need to use a cream with a zinc barrier. Weenees ones don't have holes.
