Oh my God. I am glad I came across your page. Initially, it is because I am new to nursing school. While looking at your playlists....I noticed cloth diapering. I am 7 months pregnant. And have been researching the logistics. Thank you for multiple aspects
You don't need to since flour sack towels are cotton. But you could if you wanted to catch some poop, or were going to be using a diaper cream that isn't cloth diaper friendly
Hi may I ask what do you call that cutter that u used to cut the fleece blanket and the ruler you used and where you buy them. I'm a momma to be it would be a big help if I used fleece blanket instead of buying expensive insert.
I used them a lot for daycare, when she may poop and it would then sit in the diaper for hours since they obviously don’t spray them off there. It helped it be less stuck. And when I needed to use not cloth diaper safe butt cream!
Since the tag on the blanket says to wash cold, just wondering if you still wash the liners on hot with your diapers or what you found works best. Do you have to wash separate?? Thanks!
It's not very breathable unfortunately. Most things that are breathable are also also absorbent, or disposable. We did have some luck with the grovia disposable liners at one point though! Those are breathable
Even though the fleece isn't absorbent, there should be an absorbent material below that. The fleece just acts as a barrier between the absorbent layer and the booty.
hi happy to find ur video very helpful ,wanna ask u i went to buy a fleece throw found in the tag its 100%polyester is that the same like u ve cut or not,thx
I've always used flushable liners just because when my little has a rash and I need to put diaper rash cream on her I didn't want to waste a fleece liner. Do you just throw the fleece liners with diaper rash cream on them in the wash with your regular diapers? I love the idea of not having to use flushable liners (they're not that expensive but they add up) but have always been intimidated. I also heard that fleece sometimes naturally repels and well obviously you don't want that lol. Have you used these long? What's your experience with them?
Melissa Frick if I’m using a non cloth diaper safe cream (and it’s a pee diaper) then I rinse them out and scrub them with dawn dish soap. That gets the petroleum out, which is what you can’t get on your diapers. Then I just toss them in the wash with the rest of the diapers! I’ve been using them for 4 months now with a lot of success!
That's awesome! I'll have to try them! I use the extra strength butt paste as my 1yr old is eating solids and well.... Rashes come with the territory and the butt paste is the only thing that works with her when she gets a rash. Definitely trying this with a Walmart blanket or maybe some fleece from joanns if I feel really crafty lol
Hi Nurse Liz. I like the video, very simple to follow. I would like to know the dimensions of the liner? You did say 6 inches wide but I did not hear the length, if you said it. Please let me know? Seems no one can ever tell me the size haha
This is polyester fleece. Not as quick absorbing as micro fleece. I was sooo all on this and about to buy a mainstays fleece blanket but did some research. With polyester fleece liquid kind of repels :(
I bought the $2.50 blanket from Walmart and cut it up but it’s repelling :( I keep washing and it doesn’t seem to help. Is there maybe inconsistency in the type of fleece they use?
Dewy Noodle I’m honestly not sure! Maybe about 12 inches? I just kinda folded it like I did in the video and then made sure that was long enough for the diapers. You can measure how long yours are and make them from that if a number would be helpful. Sorry I don’t have any with me (moving) or id go measure!
So I tried this with a cloth diaper I bought from joom , and it went over the pee he was soacked in the back what can I do? I cant afford anything expensive
stephanie sanchez of course! Lots of helpful TH-cam videos out there if you search for cheap inserts :) I used flour sack towels. Super cheap and absorbent!
These do not absorb at all! They just act as a barrier to collect poop, or keep baby more dry feeling, or allow you to put on an ointment with petroleum in it without damaging the diaper.
Audrey Reynolds they’re different! The blankets are made of micro fleece so it’s definitely easy to get them confused. But fleece is fine! It’s a good barrier because unlike microfiber, it doesn’t try to draw out moisture from everything it touches. That’s why microfiber is a no go, because it dries out Babies bum too much. But it’s also why it’s a super quick absorbing insert, because it soaks everything right up. Fleece just kinda.. chills and lets stuff flow through.
I found this in the blanket section of the store, it had dog prints and was $1. yes, one dollar! Winning!

It’s totally double! If you have any questions let me know 🙂
Do you have any information about using Athletic Wicking Fabric for diaper liners?
Would you recommend using a liner over flour sack towels with a cover or pocket diaper?
You don't need to since flour sack towels are cotton. But you could if you wanted to catch some poop, or were going to be using a diaper cream that isn't cloth diaper friendly
How many layers do you put in a nappy? I am planning to put it on top of bamboo inserts... but not sure if one layer would be enough or two layers?
These are not for absorbing things! Just as a barrier
I heard the prices went up for these blankets, so I picked one up in a thrift store. It was brown, so perfect for poopy diapers. LOL
Hi may I ask what do you call that cutter that u used to cut the fleece blanket and the ruler you used and where you buy them. I'm a momma to be it would be a big help if I used fleece blanket instead of buying expensive insert.
It's just a rotary cutter! But you can't use these as inserts, just as liners to sit on top of inserts!
May I ask any good recommended insert that I can used?
Flour sack towels are super cheap and absorb well!
Can I use flannel cotton as a diaper liner?
Lol the dog is optional 😂😂😂💕
At what point do you implement these into your routine? I def see it as a benifit with rinsing diapers vs just the liner
I used them a lot for daycare, when she may poop and it would then sit in the diaper for hours since they obviously don’t spray them off there. It helped it be less stuck. And when I needed to use not cloth diaper safe butt cream!
Is this cotton fleece or polyester fleece?
Is it alright to use polyester fleece blanket to make these liners?
Since the tag on the blanket says to wash cold, just wondering if you still wash the liners on hot with your diapers or what you found works best. Do you have to wash separate?? Thanks!
I always washed them hot
Liz, Is the fleece a good breathable option for baby bottom? If not is there a best fabric option? thanks! Love your videos
It's not very breathable unfortunately. Most things that are breathable are also also absorbent, or disposable. We did have some luck with the grovia disposable liners at one point though! Those are breathable
How long are they?
Question for you! Do you think you could use these blankets for cloth wipes? They’re just so cheap! But not sure if they’d work for wipes.
My only hesitation would be that they don’t absorb water well so that may be an issue.
Flannel works great for wipes!
Hi. If they don’t absorb then how does the diaper not leak?
Even though the fleece isn't absorbent, there should be an absorbent material below that. The fleece just acts as a barrier between the absorbent layer and the booty.
How many liners do I need for new born?
hi happy to find ur video very helpful ,wanna ask u i went to buy a fleece throw found in the tag its 100%polyester is that the same like u ve cut or not,thx
Yep! I believe that’s what mine are
Nurse Liz thank u im going to get it 😘

I have polyester fleece can I use that?
you can try and just see if it irritates the skin.
Hi Nurse Liz. I like the video, very simple to follow. I would like to know the dimensions of the liner? You did say 6 inches wide but I did not hear the length, if you said it. Please let me know? Seems no one can ever tell me the size haha
That walmart blanket that ost you $2.50, I saw today at my walmart for $8!
Yikes! They do have a more expensive version that sounds like it is about that much, hopefully they have the cheapies hiding somewhere still!
go to the blanket aisle, not the sewing aisle, and get the 'throw' blanket, its $2.50, i made the same mistake!
This is polyester fleece. Not as quick absorbing as micro fleece. I was sooo all on this and about to buy a mainstays fleece blanket but did some research. With polyester fleece liquid kind of repels :(
Maybe research wicking fleece? If you wash it in hot water enough times liquid passes through.
thank you!
Can we use quick dry as absorbant
I’m not sure what that is, sorry!
No sister
I bought the $2.50 blanket from Walmart and cut it up but it’s repelling :( I keep washing and it doesn’t seem to help. Is there maybe inconsistency in the type of fleece they use?
oh no! maybe?? I"m not sure, i've never run into that issue. sorry!
Can i use these as wipes also?
I'm not sure. They may be a little rough for a wiping motion. But I'm honestly not sure! I use disposable wipes.
@@NurseLizoh ok thanks .i got a very soft fleece and after wash it got it softer so i will atleast try it .will see how it goes
This is great! Just one question...Do they fray at the edges ?
mine didnt! They did curl up a bit after awhile though along the edges
Hiya. So it’s 6inches by ?
Dewy Noodle I’m honestly not sure! Maybe about 12 inches? I just kinda folded it like I did in the video and then made sure that was long enough for the diapers. You can measure how long yours are and make them from that if a number would be helpful. Sorry I don’t have any with me (moving) or id go measure!
Looks like 6x15 from pausing and trying to read the ruler
Febrik kon sa hai
Well this saves me $30 from Amazon lols Walmart here I come
Are these good if you’re looking for a stay dry liner? Or do they still feel wet?
They kept her dry!
So I tried this with a cloth diaper I bought from joom , and it went over the pee he was soacked in the back what can I do? I cant afford anything expensive
I didnt put just one either there was probably 3 layers
stephanie sanchez these are liners not inserts! They’re not absorbent at all. Gotta have something under them to absorb!
Ok thank you this is new to me lol Godbless you
stephanie sanchez of course! Lots of helpful TH-cam videos out there if you search for cheap inserts :) I used flour sack towels. Super cheap and absorbent!
Nurse Liz ill look that up thank you
Perrrrrfect!!! Ty
What is the fabric name pls
Fleece blanket from Walmart! I believe it’s made of polyester
does it absorb well ?
These do not absorb at all! They just act as a barrier to collect poop, or keep baby more dry feeling, or allow you to put on an ointment with petroleum in it without damaging the diaper.
Isn't fleece microfiber? I was under the impression microfibers shouldn't touch baby's skin.
Audrey Reynolds they’re different! The blankets are made of micro fleece so it’s definitely easy to get them confused. But fleece is fine! It’s a good barrier because unlike microfiber, it doesn’t try to draw out moisture from everything it touches. That’s why microfiber is a no go, because it dries out Babies bum too much.

Very effective..
The dog lol
