Fleece Liners and wipes

Wallababies fleece liners will fit in practically all cloth nappies, whether shaped or flat, and are designed to replace the conventional paper liners that have a tendency to hold moisture next to your babies skin. As a rule, most solids will easily fall off the fleece liner and into the w.c,with any remainder being rinsed in the flush. However, even using them part-time can save on money and resources. You could still use paper liners if your baby is regular and you are expecting a 'no.2', or even use a fleece liner underneath a paper one to help keep some of the moisture away from the skin. If the large size is still a little too large, then fold one of the ends over to make it smaller. Different thicknesses of fleece will determine the dryness, but also the bulk of the Nappy. You will notice that none of our liners are sewn round the edge. This is because fleece does not fray, and sewing it would just cost time and money, making them more expensive to buy. Place the liner inside any terry nappy, shaped nappy, or on top of a pad folded flat nappy with the 'fluffy' side next to the skin. Please see important information about fleece in the 'washing instructions' page.
As with the liners, even using our washable wipes part time will make you savings. At home, use them with warm water to gently cleanse and freshen delicate skin anywhere on your baby. For soiled bottoms, first wipe any excess with a little toilet paper, then use the fleece wipes with a little mild cleanser and warm water, placing them in the bucket with your nappies when you are done. Or in the case of hand/face/highchair wipes, wash with your normal wash! It is a good idea to keep dirty wipes in a mesh bag throughout washing, as they have a tendency to do 'sock' impressions and occasionally wedge themselves in the door of the machine!

It is important for pouches and liners that they are washed at least twice before use. This ensures that liquid passes straight through on contact. If it isn't washed first, then the liquid will just sit on the fleece, taking a while to seep through. These first washes should be at 40 degrees and can be with your normal clothes wash; separate the colours accordingly. After that, just wash them with your nappies. Providing they have had these first washes, I have never known any coloured fleece to run into white nappies in a 60degree wash, however I have known it to slightly tint the inside of certain wraps (e.g. motherease, but not nature babies). This should not happen after the fleece has been washed several times, but if in doubt, then wash wraps separately with your normal washing. Fleece does not need to be tumble dried, as it air dries incredibly quickly. If absolutely necessary, tumble dry separately, on a low heat, for a shortest time as possible.
