Bummis Flushable Liners
What are Flushable Liners?
Flushable liners cloth diaper liners are a simple way to make cloth diapering even easier. Biodegradable, flushable cloth diaper liners catch messes and then can be simply flushed away. This means no rinsing, no dunking, no cloth diaper sprayer needed.
When you are away from home, using flushable liners is even more convenient. You can flush away the messy liner before putting the diaper in your wet bag. That will keep your diaper bag smelling fresher and mean no mess to deal with when you get home.
Flushable diaper liners are made from cellulose fibers, so they break down in the sewage system. Some brands take just a few hours to break down, others take longer.
We sell Bummis biodegradable liners since they are super soft and easy on baby’s skin. We also sell Osocozy flushable liners as they tend to stay in place better for really active babies. Some brands can be rough and babies with sensitive skin can develop a rash from them. Our sensitive-skinned little one has never had any problems at all with the liners we sell and use.
When should you use a flushable liner?
Many parents use flushable liners with every diaper change so they never have to rinse or dunk a messy diaper. For other parents, flushable liners are only convenient for certain times in a baby’s life and for use when out of the house for the day.
For newborns with those messy meconium poos, a liner is a diaper saver. Meconium can stain your precious cloth diapers. Breastfed babies don’t really need a liner until they are eating solids. Breastfed baby poop comes right out in the wash, no need for pre-rinsing. Some parents prefer to use liners all of the time, right from birth. I suggest doing what works best for your family.
Once a baby starts to eat solids, you’ll really appreciate a flushable liner. Early eaters have pretty messy diapers. Again, many parents choose to use a flushable liner all day every day, others use them only during times when diapers are more likely to be icky.
Finally, if you are using any kind of diaper cream, a liner could save you a lot of hassle. Diaper rash creams often cause buildup on cloth diapers. While some brands are safer than others, if in doubt, use a liner. Nothing is more frustrating than finding that your top-of-the-line cloth diapers are suddenly leaking since the insides are coated with a visible or invisible layer of diaper cream that will not wash out.
