Flushable Liners + Cloth Diapers = Not Gross!! | A Demonstration of Disposal

Wednesday, June 2, 2010

You asked for it. So here it is. I am not embedding it here, so you don’t accidentally get an eye-full of a #2 diaper. So….

To see exactly what a #2 diaper looks like, CLICK HERE.

It sounds like a lot of you had a misconception, much like I did, as to what actually goes in your wash machine.  Below is a screen shot from the video. What you are looking at is what is left over after I flushed the solids from a hefty #2 diaper, without ever touching it. Simple dump. Flush. That’s all it took.

Not so bad, right??!? Nahhhh. You could totally do it.

I almost forgot…my intention was to do a “best case” and a “worst case” scenario video. Well, after waiting every day since I posted the original video for a “worst case” diaper, I never got one. And I really didn’t want to try to get one. So, just FYI, every so often the liner gets bunched up & some solids miss & overflow onto the diaper. If you wipe the diaper with some toilet paper, the solids will come loose & you can flush them. Then, you can throw the diaper, no matter how messy, right in the wash. I would say this happens no more than once per week. You just have to learn how to properly place the liner (trial & error) and that should solve any early problems “missing” the liner.

Also, before my daughter started on solids, I did not use liners. She was exclusively breastfeeding, so we had pudding-like diapers, and every single bit of it went in the wash machine. The prewash rinsed the waste away. Diapers came out perfectly white!

Isabel - I know this is late but I just stumbled on your blog (which is fabulous btw!). We tried the liners but it gave my baby a bad diaper rash… go figure! She wore cloth since the day she entered the world so I guess it’s a good thing we never tried disposable. I guess she just has sensitive skin?

-shawna- - @helen–I ran into that problem too, when my daughter still had pudding-ish dirty diapers. I simply loosened the elastic on one side & washed as usual, which always took care of the problem. My wash regimen: cold rinse, hot wash, cold rinse. :)

helen - thanks for your posts on cloth diapering–very helpful! i just made the switch to fuzzibunz fitted for my 8 month old. he’s still breastfed with limited solids, so no cause for liners yet. my issue is that there is residual poop in the cinched leg areas on both sides. i do a cold rinse followed by a hot wash/cold rinse. any tips?

-shawna- - @Zobedia–I use these http://www.babyearth.com/bambino-mio-liners-200-pk.html but only because they were the first I bought & have still not run out, 8 mos later! I cut them into thirds. They will soon be too short though, so I will be trying some new brands.

Zobeida - What brand and where do you get the flushable liners that you use?

Chelsea McCown - Great post, Shawna!!

We’ve started solids, but are still having pretty big (every other day) pudding soilds, but the liners catch most of it, and I just wipe the rest in the toilet with toilet paper! **Oh, and FYI, the liner does stick to little boys too, haha, I use a cloth wipe to pull it back!

Thanks for educating the world on the wonders of CDing!
