I bought some flushable liners to put in Livvy's nappies but each time I've used them, they've just ended up in a wadded little strip that definitely won't catch anything. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't know, I gave up on them for the same reason though. It was just as easy to scrub all the poo as it was to scrub the other 70% of the area that the liner didn't cover!

It's difficult to see how you could be doing it wrong as there can't be too many ways to put a liner in a nappy . Surely?!!

How big are the ones you're using? We use some that are very wide (I even have to fold in a strip so it doesn't hang out the side of the nappy) & haven't had a problem.

They are Bambino Mia liners and I have to fold them to fit them in the nappy too. I thought that maybe there's a trick to it or something other than just lying it in there.

Ahhh ...

I found if I folded them smaller to fit inside the nappy then they would scrunch. If I let them flat (sor bigger than the nappy), they wouldnt and I kind of poked the bits that came through the leg seam back in IYKWIM

I don't fold them I just let them hang out the sides and it holds them in place. Sometimes they leak but generally they work pretty well.

Bambino mio ones are very soft and move around very easily. We don't buy this brand as they just don't work with an active toddler at all.
We use tots bots or other brands that are stronger, this means that you can rewash them too if they are just wet not dirty.

I think it is the brand you have, not all flushable liners in general.

Thanks, I'll try not folding them next time.

Also if you get other brands you can cut them in half and still get good coeverage, which means that you get twice as many for your money.

I use the Johnsons ones and do what lilfatty does - poke the hanging-out bits back in rather than fold them.

I use the totsbots lace liners from Snazzi's but I have to fold them a bit when I put them in her bitti dlish - they don't scrunch up though (mind you she is only rolling)
