Where does everyone get their flushable liners from?

I looked in Wooolworths and Coles but couldn't see any.

Eenee sell them online and they also have a list of what stores stock their products so you can see if there is one near you.

I used these when I started off with terry flats (I now use microfleece/polarfleece). I got mine from the Natures Child site or Healthy Habitat. PM me if you'd like the links. From memory they come in either pkts of 50 or rolls of 200.

I saw them on nurture child (something like that) for $19.95 for 200. It seems pretty pricey to me when we're trying to save by using cloth. I'm all ears if anyone has found any cheaper or discovered other alternatives:)

Woolies metro (the one on the corner of George and Park Streets) does have them ... or at least they did a couple of weeks ago when I was buying some nappies.

Sorry LT, I'm an awful awful spisie user ( :p ) so I don't know the price. The were Woolworths homebrand ... the one's in the white packaging with red and black font. They stock them right next to the regular disposable nappies.

They are the ones I use, but when I started using them, they were under $11 per packet, and hard to get, so I ordered 18 packets from Baby Bunting - and then the price went up.

They are the cheapest flushable ones I have found, and I can't use the fleece, as it gives DS eczema.

HoopDeeDoo: I think the Woolies select ones aren't flushable but the home brand ones (Savings? Can't remember what they are called) are.

LT: I'll have a look at the price next time I'm there ... when are you likely to buy them? I'll try to make it to the shops sometime tomorrow or Thursday.

As a cloth-user-to-be, I'm just wondering how necessary the flushable liners are? Do they just make it easier when cleaning up the mess???

It's the home brand ones I've got - not flushable

Pink Lady, liner IMO are not needed unless you have to use bum cream at any point (to protect the fabric from being clogged up with cream),

as long as you have a little squirt,

or use a toilet brush to get the major poo bits off then rinse :thumbsup:

I used the flushable ones to start with but once I changed from terry flats to fitted I got microfleece and polarfleece liners - way better imo.
I don't have a little squirt so it helps to keep the nappy clean.
Liners also help to keep wee off the skin. In the case of micro/polarfleece (not too sure about the flushable) the wee goes straight through and the liner stays relatively dry - hence drier baby bum.

Oh, and if you're on a budget flushable liners are an ongoing expense, whereas washable liners are a once off purchase.
