Cloth diapers are amazing, they not only save me lots of money, they are better for the environment but there are also so many more benefits to using cloth diapers. However, there is also the laundry. And poop… especially when your baby starts eating solids. Luckily, there is a solution to this. That solution is cloth diaper liners. I love my cloth diaper liners as they make cloth diapering so much easier and cleaner.
Do you have to use cloth diaper liners?
No, you don’t have to use cloth diaper liners when you are cloth diapering however, once your baby starts to eat solids you may prefer to do so. A baby that only eats liquids like breastmilk or formula produces poop that is water soluble and easily washed from a cloth diaper. Solid bodily waste is harder to remove from diapers. A liner can be used catch all poop so you can dispose of it before you wash your diapers.
An alternative to cloth diaper liners is to use a sprayer. In this case, a handheld shower head is attached to your toilet so you can spray the poop from diapers avoiding the use of a liner.
How to use cloth diaper liners?
Cloth diaper liners are placed as the top layer of the diaper. This means it comes directly against the skin of your baby so it can collect poop and the rest of your cloth diapers will remain free from poop as much as possible.
Make sure you cloth diaper liner is completely within the diaper. A small piece of liner sticking out of a diaper is one of the most common causes of leaking in cloth diapers. As this small piece of liner creates a wicking effect when it gets wet and touches your babies onesie as well.
Can you wash disposable cloth diaper liners?
If my disposable liners are just soiled with urine, meaning they are wet, I will put them in the laundry with all my other cloth diapers. After washing, I will use these liners again. Most liners can handle several washing before they fall apart.
Can you flush cloth diaper liners?
Never flush cloth diaper liners! Eventhough the manufacturer may say the liners are flushable, that doesn’t mean that you sewer system can handle these. I can wash my disposable liners several times without them faling apart which means also when you flush them, these will not fall apart. Regular toilet paper fall apart in water so it can be flushed without affect the sewer system. Disposable liners will not so these could clog your sewer system it they get stuck (as these don’t fall apart).
Can you compost cloth diaper liners?
Cloth diaper liners are often compostable. However, do not compost human bodily waste that you want to use on your vegetable garden. Our poop contains bacteria and our home composting system doesn’t get hot enough to kill these bacteria. So if you put compost for cloth diaper liners in your vegetable garden, these bacteria could end up on your food.
If you want to compost cloth diaper liners, use a separate composting system. So you can use the compost on your flower beds instead.
