Why Use Liners?

While liners are not always a necessary addition to a cloth nappy, there are some advantages to having them on hand.

If you use any type of nappy rash or barrier cream, it will never completely wash out of your modern cloth nappy. Instead, it will coat the fabric, creating an oily barrier which repels urine and causes the nappy to leak. This is especially true if your baby’s rash is so bad it requires a pharmacy-bought nappy rash cream.

Using a liner will prevent the rash cream from coating your nappy. For double protection, use a fleece liner underneath a disposable liner. Even if you do not habitually put cream on your baby’s bottom, it is worth having liners available just in case.

As an added bonus, a liner inside a nappy acts as a moisture barrier that wicks urine away from your baby's bottom and helps any rash to heal more quickly. This is particularly important in nappies that don't have a built-in stay-dry layer.

Liners also make using a modern cloth nappy more convenient, as they can allow moisture to pass through, while trapping faeces in the liner and preventing the nappy from staining.

Our biodegradable liners can even be flushed away into most modern drains, so no more nasty messes to dispose of! You can throw wet liners in the bin or compost and soiled ones down the loo.

They are made to fit perfectly into our bamboo nappies and are made from cornstarch PLA (Polylactide) – derived from lactic acid and 100 per cent compostable.*

Liners are particularly recommended for night time, to keep moisture away from your baby's skin, preventing nappy rash, and helping baby (and you) sleep soundly.
