Diaper liners are used with cloth diapers and disposable diapers to make the removal of stool easier. They are thin so they do not add to the bulk of a diaper. They do not increase absorbency of the diaper. http://www.tinytush.com/Diaper-Liners-And-Doublers_c_79.html

Diaper liners can be made of polypropylene or rice paper. The rice paper liners are biodegradable and can be flushed down the toilet along with the stool. The diaper liners made of polypropylene are not as soft and biodegradable. If you have a septic system, you should not flush either type into the system. They can be purchased in a roll or in pre-cut sheets. Some of the brands can be washed and re-used several times. Average cost is $7.00 for 100 sheets. http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/doublers.htm

There are many brands of diaper liners and each does their own thing. There are brands and what you would use would be a personal choice. Some of these types include

• bio-soft flushable diaper liners. They are softer and degrade faster than any other kind but they are more flimsy, are more difficult to handle and tend to scrunch to the side of the diaper. They come in a roll or sheets depending upon the brand chosen. They cannot be washed and reused. They are made from viscose rayon. This type of diaper liners are usually $6.00 to $8.00 for 100 sheets depending upon size. http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/doublers.htm

• silk liners are supposed to help heal diaper rash and are for overnight use due to their ability to keep the skin dry for an extended period of time. They are washable and re-usable diaper liners but should be washed by hand or in the gentle cycle. These are not intended to be used as regular diaper liners, but are recommended instead of creams for a diaper rash. These diaper liners are made of raw silk. The cost on these is approximately $17.95 for a 3 pack. http://www.greenmountaindiapers.com/doublers.htm
