BioLiners Unscented Diaper Liners, 200 Count

A liner's job is to protect the diaper from poop and make life easier for mom. The first diaper liner we used would scrunch up and stick to our daughter. The poop would be everywhere and we would still need to scrub the diaper a bit to clean it up. On top of that our daughter developed a yeast diaper rash that we could not figure out how to stop. She was being changed every two hours, her bum was being aired out, we put Lotrimin on her behind, and fed her probiotics. Still the rash lingered. Finally it clicked as I changed her diaper and I noticed how the diaper liner clung to her behind. Horrible. Instead of pulling the urine away from her skin it was holding it against her skin. We stopped using those liners and her rash cleared up in 24 hours!! While I would love to go liner free, a liner would make life easier. My sister gave us a few GroVia BioLiners to try and they were AMAZING. Newborn poop is more liquid and tends to seep into the diaper more but for some reason these liners soak up the liquid and leave the diaper almost pristine. I was in awe. With the previous liner most of the diaper would be yellow but with the GroVia BioLiners the majority of the diaper, maybe 98%, was white! Love love love. The generous width helps to keep poop off the sides and I pull a little out of the leg holes to hold it in place. After two weeks of use my daughter has had zero rashes, etc. And true to what people have said the liners feel dry when just in a wet diaper. That means they are doing their job! I wish we had bought these first because now I have 5-6 rolls of another liner that are just going to waste.

For my husband and I, liners were a better option as we didn't want to invest in a diaper sprayer (for fear of our little guy discovering a new "toy"). GroVia makes our favorite disposable liner so far; we've been using these for well for over a year (in the past have tried Bumkins, Bummis, and Charlie Banana). The edges usually stick out but it hasn't caused any leaks. By the time my son needs a diaper change, the liner has likely shifted a bit anyways. I love how they don't bunch up too much like other brands we have tried - they actually catch the majority of, if not all, the poop. I don't flush the liners since flushing anything more than a thinner toilet paper isn't good for your plumbing - I just flip over and after a few seconds the poop falls right off into the toilet. Daycare likes these since the poop just lifts right off and they can toss in the liner in their diaper genie. I have washed and reused these quite a bit. After washing, they shrink down a lot and the texture changes, but you can stretch them out and use 2 to cover the surface of the diaper adaquately. Their performance for catching poop when reused isn't as great due to the texture and size change, but I don't mind since they aren't advertised to be reusable to begin with. I hold on to the washed ones and use for times when I'm fairly certain my son won't have a poopy diaper. Bottom line: For the price and quantity, these are really one of the best values out there. More importantly, they perform better than any other liners I have tried so far.

I find to review a specific GroVia product without also talking about the whole GroVia line to be difficult and not as helpful. I believe many of their products can be mixed with other brands, but for the most part we use just GroVia. Overall I'm very please with GroVia. I went with them because of the versatility they had built into their lines; we use the Hiybrid Diapers. We started using cloth diapers at 3 months and are still very happy with them at 19 months. At home and for the first two diaper changes out of the house we use a shell and cloth liner with BioLiner. I only carry an extra 2 cloth diapers with us when we are out, I don't really want to be carrying more then 3 dirty diapers around with me; after that we use BioSoakers. About 95 percent of the time the two cloth diaper changes is enough to get us home again. When we travel we also use BipSoakers, which is a nice middle ground between cloth and fully disposable. Both my husband and I are comfortable with the cloth diapers at home or out and it is very rare that we have a sitter, (I understand this is not a luxury or desire most people have). What we have found that works the best for us is to have two of each shell, (not that it really matters that they match), and we always have the next diaper prepped and ready to go on our daughter. After she is re-diapered we then worry about taking care of the dirty one. This system has also made other relatives comfortable enough to do cloth diaper changes too; some times calling us in to take care of the dirty diaper. As far as the BioLiners specifically, they are probably the biggest reason why I was willing to use cloth diapers. I loved the idea of cloth diapers, how much more natural it would be for our child and better for the environment, but I'm not sure that would have been enough to wash dirty diapers out by hand. The BioLiners allow the solid waist to fall cleanly into the toilet with no messy clean up. I couldn't really imagine what they were going to be like before buying them and opening them up the first time. What they remind me of most is a fabric softener sheet. I know that sounds odd, but they work wonders and we've never had a problem with them. My only concern when deciding to go this route in diapering was how they were going to be on the plumbing. I researched several other products from similar companies that had much stronger warnings about what type of plumbing system you should use their product on and decided to go with GroVia. We have never once had an issue. -- I would and have recommend GroVia and their BioLiners to anyone interested in cloth diapers.

I have been cloth diapering my 10 month old for about 6 months, and I really wish I had started using these sooner! This is the only flushable liner I have tried so far, and don't really see a need to try any of the others since this one works so well. It gives really good coverage, so it really does catch the mess. I find it very easy to put the diaper on my baby with the liner in. It doesn't shift around while diapering or bunch up while baby is wearing it. These were all concerns I had prior to using flushable liners. I also have no problems with it causing diaper leaks, even when it does stick out from the leg holes. I think it's because this material doesn't really wick...it stays completely dry even in a wet diaper. I have to admit I sort of turned up my nose when I read in other diaper liner reviews of people reusing the liners (without laundering first). But they honestly are THAT dry when they come out of a wet diaper. It makes pretty good sense to reuse them at least once or maybe a couple of times until the next dirty diaper. All in all, I thought this was an extra step and expense that I didn't need with my cloth diapers, but I am definitely converted now and would hate to go back to trying to shake and scrape poop into the toilet the old fashioned way! ETA: I thought I would add that when I use these liners, I make no attempt to fold or crunch them to make them fit inside the diaper. I lay them flat, and they do stick out 1/2 inch or so over the leg holes, and I think this actually helps to hold them in place with an active baby crawling all over the place. Again, I've had no problem with them wicking dampness onto my baby's clothes. UPDATE 6/29/12: The longer I have been using these liners (10 months or so now), the more I question their ability to be flushed safely. Our house is only 7 years old. I have had to get out the plunger twice on the toilet that I put these into. That has quickly fixed the problem, but I hope it won't do any permanent damage to the plumbing. I might try a different brand next time I order because of this concern. That's disappointing because I truly love this product!

Pros: -Keeps baby drier (though not completely dry) -Can be rewashed a few times -Makes it easier to dispose wastes -Liners that are just wet can be swapped out so they can be air dried and reused -If you reuse Liners 3x's per liner or even part of that you can get 3 good months out of $10 (and helped a lot) -Very Thin -Disposable -Dries incredibly quick (even if put through the washer, if laid out they dry quick) -Limits stains (but doesn't prevent) Cons -Doesn't keep baby as dry as fleece has -Fleece works better -Doesn't help against blowouts (I was cleaning the cover of my diaper after every poop with these things) -Not flushable -You save more money using reusable fleece -Feels wet and needs to dry after use -Can exacerbate a rash that is already there or for a baby with sensitive skin when reused (maybe it's the way I use them or that I simply expect them to keep my baby dry and it only kinda does that, maybe it's not hygenic, got no clue what I'm doing wrong--I was a skeptic to think with so many positive reviews that these liners could cause a rash, don't know whether they do or not but they certainly didn't help us and we change every 2-3 hours, which I think is frequent?) Before yesterday I would have given this product 4.5 stars. But yesterday I tried fleece, which is rewashable more than 3 times and feels completely dry to the touch even if it's pied through. This was amazing for me. Not only did it contain the poop, and kept it together instead of all over the diaper, it didn't end up on the cover either and has made diapers last longer (esp. in combination with hemp for more absorpotion). Fleece has been so amazing that I can't go back to bioliners unless I already have some. I used Green mountain fleece, but you can really just cut it up more cheaply anywhere else, it -can- add a bit to bulk depending on your system, ex. if you already have prefolds that are thicker than some lighter ones, but for me it was like stepping into a new world. So far after 2 days of fleece usage I haven't had a single blowout (though it could happen). My child feels dry to the touch, as if she never even had gone to the bathroom, and I can literally move the fleece from one diaper to the next if it's just wet. The fleece sheets I use aren't as trim as the bioliners here which are insanely godsend trim, but for the tradeoff I'm willing to make they're trim enough and do a way better job, that I can't even look at these Bioliners the same. It's like when you have something that does a better job to compare this too, these bioliners for the cost to rebuy them seem mediocre. The only pros for me with these bioliners are that they are disposable and kinda keep the baby dry, but not dry enough and they're cheap. I can see myself using these Bioliners as a backup, last resort, a quick photoshoot without extra bulk once we enter solids, or for the road to keep wetbags trim. Those benefits might outweigh the tradeoff of the cons but for me I'm just a fleece convert, there's no way I can go back to these. So they're good--until you have something better.

I am so glad I came across these! They work so well for cloth diapering when you have toddlers who eat solid food. I have not used them with a baby that does not eat solids. Mine nurses and eats solids. I use them with Charlie banana one size, pocket diapers. The size is big, but I fold the sides in under themselves and they work well. I’ve only used them a few times and on one, it didn’t catch all of the poo and it got into the diaper. However, It usually catches everything and you can just discard it into the trash can. No cleaning poo from cloth diapers (for the most part) There will still be a little residue in the diapers or maybe a little that you have to wipe out, but mostly it can be washed out in the washing machine without cleaning out by hand first. It comes with 200 on a roll which should last a while. It definitely saves on using less disposables because I would use them just so I wouldn’t have the hassle of cleaning out poo. I just use them when I think my son will be going #2 because his are mostly around the same time each day. The material kind of reminds me of a dryer sheet, but thinner. They are chemical free. I love them and am thankful that I found them!

As the title of my review implies, I have tried several liners and these are the best deal by far. Other reviewers have mentioned the small faults of these liners: they aren't as soft as other brands and the size is a little funny. My son doesn't seem to be bothered at all that the liners aren't as soft as others, but at first I didn't like the large size of these. I've found, though, that the size is a good thing. They are a little too wide for the diapers, but if you tuck it under the soaker pad (if you are using grovia diapers) it keeps the mess off of the soaker and doesn't stick out of the edges (which could cause a wicking effect, getting your child's pants wet when he/she pees). I like to reuse any liners which were just peed on, as other reviewers on here have said they like to do. However, where other reviewers complain that these liners are not reusable, I strongly disagree. The problem these reviewers are having is that the liners shrink in the dryer, and that does happen. However, since these are designed not to retain wetness but to let urine pass through to the diaper, these dry VERY quickly. Wash them with the rest of your child's diapers and then hang dry. Really, though, it takes no time for them to dry, so I usually just take them straight out of the washer and put them back in our diaper changing area. By the time I get upstairs from the laundry room, they're dry (and our house is very small). We reuse ours pretty efficiently (as long as I don't let my husband do the laundry!) and only have to buy these twice a year. My main reason for buying these particular liners over other brands, though, is the price. You get 200 liners with the grovia as opposed to 100 per roll with other brands. Typically, the rolls of 100 cost about 8 to 11 dollars, for an average of 9.5 cents per liner. These are about 7.5 cents per liner. Not a huge savings, but I'm very frugal. And let's face it: with a little one around you really have to be!

It took me a while to 'bite the bullet' and buy diaper liners. But I'm glad I did! Makes poo clean up wayyyy easier! These liners are nice and wide and long enough even for my 2 year old. Does a pretty good job of staying put - except when he's sliding down the slide and doing lots of running. He's a very active boy! For most of the time, a poopy diaper was as easy as picking up the liner and shaking the waste in the toilet. (I do not ever flush the liner- nor do I suggest it no matter what the pkg says) Runnier stools weren't as easy. It does allow liquids to pass through (for obvious reasons), so there is still some rinsing to be done before washing the diaper. I bought these brand of liners because of the price/quantity and because there were so many reviews saying you could wash and reuse them. I didn't have such luck. I am all about reusing things, but honestly, they significantly shrank in the wash and became 'fluffy'. I didn't find them very effective after washing and trying to reuse. I did find that Target wipes can be washed and dried and re-used as diaper liners! :) The roll lasts a long time! They can definitely be reused after wet-only diapers. In the time it takes to remove it from the wet diaper and grab a clean one, it will be dry and ready to go :)
