Can anyone recommend flushable liners for cloth nappies? I have been using the non-flushable blue/white ones from the supermarket, but thought I would give the flushable ones a go.

Can you still get the blue and white liners? We were told that they have stopped making them.

Um.. These are the Johnsons ones, blue and white, from Pak n save. I haven't purchased any for awhile, but last time I looked they still had them?

We can't get the Johnsons liners here anymore and were told that they have stopped making them. If you want to keep using them, I suggest stocking up! I am not a fan of flushables liners (as I have said elsewhere) because they gave my daughter nappy rash. I tried two makes and they both did the same thing. I know that other people swear by them though!

Ok thanks, I didn't realise that had stopped making them!

I use a roll of biodegradable, flushable liners that can be ordered on line

Based in Australia but I'm sure would post to NZ.
Haven't had any nappy rash problems with 2 children
When the kids' pooing habits were relatively predictable I would risk not putting a liner in (just to save on liners). I did get caught a few times and cursed the nappy cleaning!

Thanks !

Just found this on another website and thought of you:
"... the flushing of any biodegradable nappy liner may cause blockage in old or damaged drains and in sensitive septic systems. Please discard pee soaked liners in the garbage and to let the soiled liners soak a few minutes in the toilet before flushing just so that they absorb water and break down a bit before they are released into the system."

Thanks, I did wonder about that. Apparently our septic tank is a really good set up, but I think I will need to do some for investigating!! I don't want to block it lol

All will ship liners to you and are NZ based. HTH Alternatively you could just get some microfleece and cut up into liners (doesn't fray so no sewing needed)

Thanks I will check out those links!
