    Posted: 09 June 2011 at 7:47am
Hi, I want to move away from the disposible liners in my bubs cloth nappies. Can anyone recommend what to use. There are heaps of microfleece ones on trade me but when I went into Spotlight to look at getting microfleece and making my own, they told me it didnt work very well. Also that I should be using cotton not polyester - but I checked my nappies and they are polyester! I was thinking that for a few $$ I could get some and try them, but would appreciate any tips. DD has a bit of a teething rash (I think) at the moment and the liners arent helping by sticking to her. They are good for catching some of her #2's though.
Thanks.

I really like the size 1 Little Lamb fleecy liners...think they're about $12 for 10. They fit medium and large ittis well but aren't shaped around the crotch so sometimes need a little bit of tucking in.
Stuff tends to roll off quite well too which is helpful! And they wash up really well so always look like new.

I also bought some Ecobubs microfleece liners and I hate them!

You can also order microfleece online from Greenbeans.co.nz and you just cut it to the shape you want...it doesn't need overlocking.

Washable liners really need to be in a manmade fibre so they don't absorb liquid and are a stay-dry layer next to baby's skin...cotton would just absorn the wee and stay wet!

Yip microfleece liners is what we use.
Is the stuff at spotlight thin enough. I know my friend bought some stuff, but it was thicker like polar fleece, and maybe not as great? I got some from Tweedle. Tweedle liners, and also bought some material from green beans to cut my own. The shipping is really steep from green beans tho.

Thanks Jaune and Janini. I'll check out green beans and tweedle. The little lamb ones look nice and a good price.

All I need is something to go over the insert or the pocket to prolong them, it doesnt have to be flash or fancy, or even sewn/overlocked round the edge.

Our spotlight didn't have microfleece (of any sort)
I bought mine off a friends business which has since closed down but I'm sure you can get the right material at
www.greenbeans.co.nz, its about $6.78 a metre which is 150cm wide, you would get as many liners as you need out of that. It doesn't need hemming so its simply cutting it out.

It shows as 3.97 for shipping for that amount of cloth so $12 all up.
Kiara is 3 and Teagan is 2, now we're expecting our long awaited 3rd!

I use the thicker microfleece that spotlight sells. It works fine for us

Thanks T-Rex - is that the $5/m polar fleece or the nicer $15/m micro fleece? Green beans seems a little cheaper.

Umm... it's finer than actual polar fleece, but thicker than the *proper* microfleece liners I've bought. I think I bought it for around $9 per metre but it might have been on sale?

Just make sure if you get some from Spotlight or somewhere similar, that it actually is microfleece rather than polar fleece, because polar fleece actually repels liquid!
Greenbeans often have cheap seconds, which may be because its slightly marked or something, but that doesn't matter if its only for liners.

I bought some Ecobubs liners too, and they're very short! I'm keeping them for newborn liners now! Making your own means you can cut them to the exact size you want, which is handy.

Cheers everyone. I'm going to get a couple of bits of 'odds and ends' from Greenbeans and cut some myself.

Good point with the polar fleece!
