Best diaper liners according to redditors

I love the dandelion ingeo liners on Amazon. They're kinda like a soft dryer sheet material. They wick great and are stiff enough to stay in place.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JG2B4W7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_X462DbAA0044D

I'm unfortunately looking to switch because they wick too good and with potty training I need something that lets my kid feel that he's wet :( I've hated everything else so far cause they bunch so easily.

You could get some hemp inserts http://amzn.com/B00H07AHGS They are very trim. You put the flat next to the skin and the insert under it.

Yep, I use Rumparooz and found that adding absorbency layers (in the form of diaper doublers) usually fixes that problem. If not, they also tell you to run your covers in the dryer on low to "re-seal" the PUL layer. Hope it helps!

1. I used these liners and these liners I double them up. Sometimes they go on sale. I have also used the grovia brand, they worked well but were not reliable in stock.
   
2. I have not used mama kangaroo, but I have used Alvas, I liked them okay. My kids both out-peed microfiber quickly. I actually use tri-folded burp rags laid into a cover. I have tried other brands and Grovia diapers did not work at all for either of my kids (with the exception of a couple of their older newborn diapers). I think you should get a variety of diapers to try and figure out which ones work best. I like Flip covers and rumparooz
   
3. I have only CD one newborn and I used mostly newborn cloth, but I think most of my one size diapers would fit a newborn. It would be a matter of figuring out absorbency, I think. I definitely recommend getting some newborns as you don't really have to figure out sizing and if will make it easier for both you and your husband if you don't have to figure out sizing right from the start.
   
4. I can't help with that one :)
   
5. I bought a $10-ish 5 gallon trash can from walmart and made my own liners from PUL that I got at Joanns. I was super easy.
   
   Take your time figuring sizing/absorbency out and don't be afraid of secondhand diapers. I tend to find a lot at those huge consignment sales.

We've been cloth diapering for over a year now, and here is what I've learned:

• it takes about 10 minutes average a day to launder diapers, washing every two days
  
• hooking up a diaper sprayer to the toilet is the way to go, rather than using disposable liners. The diaper pail will never smell, except of ammonia at times.
  
• the more expensive cloth diapers with removable inserts are worth it, and still cost much less than disposables
  
• managing buildups and smells from soap/minerals is not easy
  
• there is no such thing as one size diaper wrap that fits all ages. You'll need one size for infants, and another for toddlers.
  
  Here are all the products I use.
  
  I built my own diaper sprayer using these instructions:

We had lots of leaks until we started using these. They were very budget-friendly and have worked great for us. I had tested by weighing a diaper after him wearing it one morning and finding that it was 6 oz heavier than a dry diaper! So I took anything that potentially could be used as an insert (the ones that came with our pocket diapers, prefolds we bought to use as burp cloths, random towles...) and pouring 6 oz of water on them. It soaked through everything immediately. When we got these I tested it the same way, and the 6 oz just barely made it through to the other side! I generally still use one of those and one of the normal microfiber that came with the diapers underneath just in case. We change about every 3 hours.

Fit looks pretty good to me, although the front could stand to come up just a bit. It's seems a tad low. It might be time to change inserts. We had some leaking issues too (we also use pockets) until we switched to something heavier duty. He also only really leaked out of the alvas, but not so much the sunbaby brand, which is what we use now.

Those are what we use and they're seriously the most absorbent things ever. We did wash them separately about five times before using them, so if you go that route make sure you follow the directions on there! Hope that helps!!

You might like this pack from Nora's Nursery, too. I'm obsessed! Those are all so cute!

CBIs are just bamboo outsides with charcoal fibers in them; their major composition is microfiber layers on the inside. Try going with hemp inserts like Thirsties or these: (6 Pack) HappyEndings Heavy Wetter 4 Layer Hemp / Organic Cotton Diaper Inserts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H07AHGS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Lzn7BbXEP7ZQA. Continue to pair it with your newborn prefold, and that should help a lot.

Yes, an easy solution is adding an extra 12 oz holding diaper pad into the diaper. Something like this:https://www.amazon.com/NorthShore-Disposable-Diaper-Doubler-Adhesive/dp/B01MDQWJ7Y/ref=sr_1_3_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1519164843&sr=1-3&keywords=diaper%2Bpad%2B12%2Boz&th=1

We had to use if for over a year with our daughter, but it worked great.

Others have already recommended the cloth diapering subreddit, but to add my experience we didn't really cloth diaper the first few weeks despite having the supplies on hand just because we were in survival mode and extra laundry was out of the question. Then we moved on to pocket diapers (which have covers and inserts - the inserts absorb the pee) with liners. The liners seemed silly at first but they make life easier without being as expensive and wasteful as a full on disposable diaper. So no, totally not dumb to switch over at this point.

Now we only occasionally cloth diaper on weekends - lately we've either been travelling or dealing with a yeasty diaper rash and I've heard that yeast in a pain to remove from a cloth diaper so disposables it is. Day care requires disposables and I've never had luck with cloth diapers overnight (I probably could if I tinkered with it more, but I'm just not that committed).

I did the math at one point and even assuming we had paid for all the cloth diaper supplies ourselves (which we didn't thanks to our registry) we would have broken even on costs just over my three month maternity leave, so every diaper now that's cloth instead of disposable is like free money, a little bit at a time. A year later and the diapers and inserts we bought are still going strong.

If he's not wearing rubber gloves, that's a game changer! Also you can find a roll of liners to help with the big chunks. Here's an example Bamboo Viscose Baby Diaper Liners 600 Sheet Pack, Disposable Diaper Liners,flushable, compostable Diaper Liners, Bamboo Viscose Liners,Liners for Baby, Cloth Diaper Liners,Wipes, 600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NCYOU9P/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7ToZBbA7R10QS

I got 4 of these and two used covers from a local mom. I stuff them with these hemp inserts, but I've also used inserts that aren't as absorbent, and once I forgot to put an insert in at all... but still no leaks.

Kind of a "use your judgement" thing for us. If there's a little smear, we let it go. We also use disposable liners which, more often than not, catch a lot of the poop, and just toss with the wipes. They don't degrade very well despite their labeling and marketing as "flushable"!! So we just toss. But saves us lots of would-have-had-to-rinse-this-nightmare diapers.

Did you specifically get the dekor wet bag pail liners? I have these and they fit the pail just fine. They are a bit of a tight fit around but they definitely fit. It comes in a 2 pack so that you always have one even when you’re doing laundry.

I bought this starter set:

And then after we were hooked, we started buying various singles, and we found this lady, who makes amazing ones. Can't recommend this one enough.

Well liners and inserts I use totally different things.

Inserts I use a microfiber on top of a thirsties hemp insert. They’re relatively thin and SO absorbent. For liners I just usethese disposable ones because I haven’t ventured into the land of reusable liners yet. The disposables work well for right now so we’ll see how it goes.

I've been using a combo of hemp liners from (Amazon topped with some inserts I made myself (3 layers 55% hemp, 45% organic cotton fleece, 1 layer microfiber both bought online). My two year old is a super heavy wetter so we really needed the extra work horse hemp in there, microfiber just doesn't hold enough on its own. But I like how quickly it soaks everything up. Her skin is so sensitive with out it she gets red every diaper change.

Alva's are really easy to stuff with gusseted charcoal bamboo inserts. I have these ones:

https://www.amazon.com/Naturally-Natures-Cloth-Diaper-Inserts/dp/B00MJ8K092/ref=sr_1_6_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1542211708&sr=8-6&keywords=charcoal%2Bbamboo%2Binserts&th=1

I use a flushable liner for poops Flushable Liners they're super cheap and let the pee through to the liner. When she's got anything that isn't caught by this, it gets it off fairly well. I turned up our water pressure a little bit and make sure the water is as hot as it goes!

Did you use diaper liners? He poops now, we just roll up it with the liner and into the diaper genie it goes.

My daughter was a normal-to-light pee-er (sp?) up until one year old, and was fine with the bamboo blend inserts that came with her Noras Nursery pocket diapers (rebranded Alva diapers). Once she hit a year old we had to add hemp doublers to the pocket diapers. And to be honest, I was surprised the single insert lasted as long as it did!

You don't have to invest in different inserts but maybe more inserts to add to your already existing inserts. I'm a fan of hemp, and I've found the best combo of cheap and reliable to be Green Mountain Diapers hemp doublers.. I've also had great luck with Thirsties hemp doublers and Blueberry Bamboo Cotton Doublers but they're pricier.

Charcoal bamboo inserts are decent enough. They're microfiber sandwiched between two layers of bamboo, so they're more absorbent than plain microfiber. And they can be used next to the skin

I personally would go with actual bamboo inserts or padfolded prefolds. That's what we use in our covers and pockets both, and we rarely get leaks.

These seem like a decent option, though I feel like you could probably find them cheaper elsewhere.

(6 Pack) HappyEndings Heavy Wetter 4 Layer Hemp / Organic Cotton Diaper Inserts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H07AHGS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_haGDAbZ3DZNRZ these. My little guy leaks with microfiber especially if he wears onesies because of compression leaks. A lot of hemp or bamboo inserts have microfiber cores but these have organic cotton and they hold liquid better, they're trim and really absorbent.

We graduated from MF at about the same time. Our favorites are charcoal bamboo like these. They're fluffy (read: a little bulky), but stay soft and are super absorbent.

We also like bamboo, slightly less absorbent but less bulky. Very soft too.

We double them for a nap diaper, and had to resort to disposables for overnight at some point. Good luck!!

These are the ones I use, and cinching them closed I haven't had smell issues. If you're more interested in the dry bag route, I have 0 expertise, lol. Good luck! I'm sure someone on here has better advice for that route. :)

All bamboo inserts I’ve found have been 2 thin bamboo layers with microfiber inside. Alva’s liners seem to be the same. They’re safe against baby’s skin but will still act like microfiber.

I got the dekor hands free diaper pail on amazon and the 2 pack of cloth diaper pail liners that fit it and it works great, no smells, similar to the diaper genie we used to use with our first born(we did disposables) but has waterproof (either TPU or PUL, i didn't pay attention)liner has a draw string to close up the bag in transport.

We are happy with it and 2 liners is necessary so you have one to use while the other is in the wash with the diapers so I'm glad it came in a 2pack

Yeah! I added it to my Amazon List:

I put a very thin booster under the flaps which helps a lot.

This was the first that I bought but it’s been unavailable for a long time. Bamboo Booster Doublers

So we tried these gauze doublers and that have worked as well.

Just make sure that you don’t get ones that say inserts as they are extremely bulky. You can also put the doublers on top of the flaps which may help smooth it out a bit.

I'm in the same boat. I would use prefolds but my baby spends 4 days a week with other caregivers who aren't as excited about cloth diapering as I am. Trying to find a compromise between cost and convenience for them isn't easy.

I'm getting these in the mail tomorrow. At $5 each they're not too pricey:

I love my Charlie Bananas, and these BabyKicks have an hour glass shape that fit perfectly.

I also have some second hand charcoal bamboo inserts that I love, but don't know the brand name. They look like these and I love them because they are absorbent but thick enough that they aren't just bunching up in the diaper, which is a problem I have with every other bamboo insert.
