Disposable inserts for cloth diapers are thin liners placed closest to your baby's skin. They catch the poo and protect the cloth diaper from mess and creams — soft and gentle on the skin, and a handy addition that makes diaper changes easier.
How do you use disposable inserts?
The disposable insert is placed in the cloth diaper, closest to your baby's skin. It lets moisture through and catches the poo to make the change easier. After use, you simply throw the insert in the bin.
When is a good time to use disposable inserts?
Disposable inserts work well once your baby has started on solid food. Before that, the poo can be so runny that the insert won't catch it. Little ones also have sensitive skin and sometimes need creams applied, which can affect how well the fabric absorbs — and that's when the disposable insert protects the diaper.
The benefits of disposable inserts in cloth diapers
Disposable inserts make dirty diapers easy to deal with and are especially handy on the go, or when the cloth diapers are used by a babysitter or at preschool. They also protect the diaper from creams and other mess that can affect how well the fabric absorbs.
