I used it in work on patients ( I'm a veterinary nurse). I bought a bottle home with me when I went on maternity but never had a problem so never used it.

I agree with everyone best to let the air get to the skin and have always had at Least half an hour nappy off time between changes but I've just started back at work and not sure the grandparents are as keen to let their carpet get wee on or may be that my mums new carpet is causing the irritation :doh:

Anyway I just found the bottle while clearing out one of her drawers and thought this could be my answer to stopping the disposables on redder days.

I tried some little lamb fleece liners in my pockets and found on changing these were always wet I've not tried the flushable ones yet. I've swopped to itti sio as I love how trim they are but my liners won't fit in these. :( was I doing something wrong with the liners?? I'm new to the cloth love

And sorry for the long post

Do you mean the ll or the paper liners are the wrong size? Have you tried them on with the liner? Cos usually they kinda disappear once the nappy is fastened up.

Failing that, trim to fit!

The little lamb fleece liners seem too large, i might try them but they always seemed wet at change time so not sure if I want to use them. I might just keep them as wipes as the suede cloth is always really dry against her skin.
I've not tried paper liners but I will give them a go

I found little lamb liners pretty wet and paper liners worse for wetness.Fleece seems to keep bums driest- I just cut up cheap fleece blankets to size.
