A flushable liner is used inside of a diaper to make clean-up easier.

Fleece and silk liners are used inside of a diaper to keep your baby's skin dry: when your baby
wets, the moisture travels through the liner and is absorbed by the diaper under the liner.
Then, the liner dries, keeping a barrier between the wet diaper and your baby's skin. Babies
with sensitive skin often need a liner.
Flushable liners are made of rice paper or are wood based. When a diaper is soiled, you can
simply remove the liner and flush it down the toilet. Flushable liners are a fantastic invention
that keeps clean-up simple and quick!
