you know the blue thin clothe type ones you put between bubs bum and nappy. they are flushable and stop the poo smearing into clothe nappies. where on earth have they gone!! i have tried pack n save (where i have always got them from), countdown and woolworths and cant find them anywhere. has anyone seen them recently or if not, what do you use and where do you get them? -------------

I bought some off trademe, 6 rolls of a hundred sheets per roll. $40. they are white tho. and i cut them in half because they are quite big, but that means i get twice as many that i paid for!
i just had a quick look on trademe, these arent the ones i got, but just the same type of thing tho http://www.trademe.co.nz/Baby-gear/Nappies-changing/Cloth-nappies/Other/auction-246537301.htm |

Monikah, I didn't realise they are flushable... I just throw them out if dirty or wash and reuse if wet.
Anyway, I also get flushable liners from either nature baby, baby universe, or snazzipants. But they are white ones and come in a roll, about $10 for 100. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

yup, and i wash and wash them till they fall apart. 100 liners has lasted for 3 months. lol. im trying to go with the same brand cos i know how many washes i get out of them till they fall apart etc and i really like them. i just cant see how every supermarket has just magically stopped stocking them all of a sudden. grrr -------------

Yeah, I really liked them too and can't find them anywhere in Auckland anymore  - maybe the supermarkets just have a supply issue...? (fingers crossed)

| I've been looking for them in supermarkets around wellington too, and haven't found them. NW Thorndon seem to have a vacant spot for them but no stock. I asked one of the people there and they 'helpfully' said they'd be in tomorrow. That was over a week ago and I've been in twice since and nada. |

WHAT!!! They are just the best liner, and have tons of other uses as well. Birthcare use them as wipes, I wonder what they'll use now? Maybe they have another supplier...? ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Yeah I rang Johnsons after searching every supermarket from Auckland to Hamilton, and they have discontinued the product. I told them many mum's would be unhappy! They sent me to a website that stocked a product they thought would be similar as they had had so many calls, but I wanted them as wipes not liners, and the liners they sent me to wouldnt have suited the job! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  |

NOOOO!!!! Why oh why?? They are the ONLY liner I can find here. Looks like I'm going to have to stock up before they aren't available here.
I didn't realise they were flushable either....? *off to search the net to find an alternitive* -------------

Mmm I found a couple of sites in Oz that were still stocking them - contemplated having a box or 2 shipped over here!
If you can get your hands on them I reckon they could have pretty valuable mark up on them - I know I am already sick of wipes that are "unscented" and "alcohol free" or "sensitive" that seem to immediately create nappy rash! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> |

I have been using baby face cloths for wipes (cheap ones of TM), actual 'baby wipes' are nasty to my bubba's bits too. Good for removing make-up though (mine, not Jody's).
Does anyone use polar fleece as a liner? How messy is it with a runny poop? I'm guessing harder poop would just drop off but how do you handle the smushy stuff? (Sorry for TMI) -------------

I'm sure I saw them at supermarket yesterday Monikah. Will have a look next time I'm there (probably tomorrow cos we need milk!) and can get you a couple of boxes and post them to you if you want? -------------

OMG, I cant' believe they stopped selling them. I've been looking for weeks and was hoping it was a supply issue. I use them as 'wipes' as well, and they're so much better than the normal wipes, especially if there's nappy rash involved! Maybe that's why they've stop producing them, because they're being used instead of their wipes. I agree that the "sensitive, unperfumed" ones are hopeless and do irritate little bottoms. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

if you want them as wipes then by a pack of those baby muslins from baby factory etc... they will do the trick. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Nope, they have definitely stopped making them. I was in Birthcare last week and commented to one of the midwives about how I had been hunting for them to stock up. She said they had been discontinued, and that they had bought up the last of the supply.
Can you buy a stack of chux cloths and cut them up instead? I've been using the new huggies Newborn wipes on my 9 day old and she has been fine so far - no reaction at all. |

Thats so random. I always used them as wipes. We only just started using normal wipes as they are so much cheaper. -------------

My DH is storeroom manager at New World and I had asked him to get some for me and he said they dont make them anymore I was gutted.
But he got me some Budget Chux cloths and they are pretty must exactly the same as the J&J liners  I cut them up and use them as wipes for Bella with warm water and for Caden at the moment too, and for liners when he wears cloth naps.------------- |

| I use microfleece liners. Have been for about six months, all oyu do is tip it into the toilet and pull both ends, poo usually drops off. If not we have a shower attatchment in our laundry for rinisng nappies so do the same for the liners. I got 1 metre and made 24 lines was about $5 |

Amby just wanted to pop my head in and go nooooo don't use polar fleece as a liner! It doesn't wick well, so you'll suddenly have massive leaking problems if you use polar fleece. (Microfleece is different material.)
If you want flushable liners I like the Disana ones, otherwise yep washable microfleece works well (and so do Chux cloths I've heard). -------------

I have a box and a half of the JOnsons that you can buy off me if ya want. Personally I don't like them and have changed to another, softer brand.
I've been buying mine off Snazzipants website. $10 for a roll of 100. THey're flushable, soft and I also found them more absorbent than the JOhnsons ones. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Those Johnson's ones aren't flushable. You can get flushable ones online from most cloth nappy stores or you can get the real nappies brand ones at the Baby Factory. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

This may not work for those of you with really sensitive bubbas but I've been using the flushable wipes as liners. I think they are the Precious brand and come in the purple packaging...
I just take all the wipes out of the packet and let them completely dry. Cause they are big wipes you can then cut them in half and you have a nice thick stack of liners that you can flush away with the poo. Ryan hasn't had any issues with rashes or sensitive skin but he's not prone to them anyway. May be worth a try...? ------------- http://tickers.cafemom.com">

I was at Woolworths the other day and bought some HomeBrand nappy liners. Not too sure if they are disposable cos the box doesnt say and I havent tried them yet. Sorry not much help but they are quite soft to touch and look flushable. ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten

Just found out, by accident, that you can wash the Precious flushable wipes AND dry them in a dryer and come out perfectly fine. So, if you cut them in half you get about 160 liners and then if you wash them a few times they'll go even longer. They're flushable and only cost about $4-5. I've found a winner for this household. ------------- http://tickers.cafemom.com">
