Bummis Bio-Soft Liner

by Bummis

• When using cloth diapers that feature synthetic fabrics like suede cloth against baby's skin (as in many "pocket" type diapers), it is recommended that you choose the large size of liner, as it will not move around inside the cloth diaper
• Please note that although the bio-soft liners are highly biodegradable the flushing of any product like this can cause blockage in old or damaged drains or very sensitive septic systems
• Please discard pee soaked liners in the garbage and let the soiled liners soak a few minutes in the toilet before flushing just so that they absorb water and break down a bit before they are released into your septic system

Product Description

Size: Large

Bio-soft liners are flushable diaper liners that make clean-up a breeze they are the perfect compromise between convenience and cloth diapers. No more rinsing poopy cloth diapers in the toilet. Bio-Soft liners absorb the solid waste and then you simply discard the soiled liner in the toilet and flush away the mess. They are non-irritating and ever so soft and comfortable against baby's sensitive skin. Our Bio-Soft liners are made of a non woven material with no binder, and will biodegrade very quickly (within 8 days in a sewage treatment system or 20 days in a septic tank). They are 100% viscose rayon, a cellulosic fibre derived from natural sources, and are made to our specifications in England. 100 sheets per roll. Small: 5 x 12".

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great! April 5, 2008

While these are thin, they definitely are *not* the same as using tissue. They are long enough that you can fold them if you need more thickness. Tissue will disintegrate when wet, so please do not heed the previous reviewer's advice and use tissue instead. ;)

We haven't had a problem with them being too narrow, but your mileage may vary here.

Overall, I've been very pleased with them. They are much softer than the Gerber brand of liners (and being flushable is a huge plus). We've not had any issues with flushing them either (we have a septic system and an older toilet), and they work fine for what we need.

The only thing I would caution is that if you're needing them to protect a cloth diaper from an oil-based cream, you might want to fold it or use two liners, since they are so thin. But this product comes in two rolls, so there are lots of sheets included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great! November 14, 2008

By Jennifer A. Bensley

Size Name:Large

My baby is almost 1 year and I bought my first package of liners before she was born when I purchased BumGenius diapers. We never used them at first because milk diapers just get thrown in the wash. But, when she started eating solids ... well, diapers get more fun. :) We started using the liners in the AM when we knew she was going to poop. Works great! Now that she is less predictable, we don't use them at home as much. However, our babysitters (I work M-f) love using the liners so they don't have to deal with messes; they just drop it in the toilet. Good trade-off to make them comfortable using cloth diapers over disposables. Plus, I didn't want something that I had to rinse and wash; I already wash the diapers so what would be the point of having liners at all? Thus, I wanted flushable liners. Very pleased with the ease of use. I split up the rolls so they are in both the baby changing area and in the diaper bag. I'd say they last about 8 months for me (we are not using them constantly). The only negative is that they do get a little scrunched in the middle when being used but still worth the money. I suspect the lack of packaging contributes to a low price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much softer option to the Imse Vimse Liners December 2, 2008

By S. Tallent

Bummis cloth diaper liners are much softer/flimsier than Imse Vimse. Because of this they do not hold up well for a couple of washings if they have only had pee on them. However, they seem to do just find if rinsed out by hand and can be reused that way a few times if it's worth the little bit of extra time to save on buying more.

In regards to the person making the claim that a tissue from the grocery store will work just as well...Think again. Typical paper towel and tissue products will break down and disintegrate in a diaper under normal wear and usage. My tight wad self has tried that. If you expect a diaper liner to work you are going to have to spend the money to BUY a diaper liner. If softness is what you want I haven't found anything better than Bummis. If multiple uses is desired something like Imse Vimse is a better choice.
