Nappy Boosters and Liners
Boosters are used to add absorbency, but sometimes may be referred to as booster liners. Liners are used to line the nappy, usually to collect poo (biodegradable flushable) but may also be used to keep baby dry (fleece or polyester) or protect baby's skin (silk). Just to confuse further, there are also hybrid boosters with a liner function such as the Twooster (2 layers of terry topped with 1 laye of fleece).Different manufacturers booster pads vary in size, please note that the measurements given are only approximate, and that composition may change. It is worth mentioning that ANY absorbent fabric you have may be used as a booster, you do not necessarily need to buy a matching booster for your nappy, you'll achieve the same effect with a cut up towel or old flannel folded in two: experiment to find the absorbency you need for your baby.Do experiment with the number of booster pads you need especially where you are looking for a nappy that will last through the night. Boosters can be laid flat in the nappy or folded to give the extra padding where required - more at the front for a boy and to the back for a girl. For extremely heavy wetters you may find that a prefold folded into a pad will be more absorbent than boosters, or alternatively use two nappies. You will find that these extra layers may well mean you need a larger wrap. All booster pads can be washed with the nappies.Liners are used to provide a drier layer between baby and the absorbent nappy. With all these liners there is no 'right' way up, either way up will do. If you are using a fleece liner there is no need to use a flushable liner - poo falls off polyester fleece quite easily - hold over loo and shake carefully whilst stretching it, or hold a corner and flush the loo. If you use both the stay-dry properties of the fleece may be lost as the two don't appear to work together as sometimes a layer of moisture may be trapped between the two leaving the flushable liner soggy. However with older babies and toddlers, when poo cycles are more regular and in larger quantities, you can lay a flushable liner over the fleece when expecting a poo to make poo removal easier, particularly when out and about. Again, this is something you can experiment with. The same thing happens if you are using silk liners, which are useful for treating nappy rash. The healing effect of the silk will get lost if a paper liner is used on top, likewise these shouldn't be used in conjunction with barrier creams.

Biodegradable Flushable Liners
These liners allow wet to pass through to the absorbent nappy, whilst retaining solids. Placed inside the nappy next to baby they make dealing with the poo in nappies very easy - simply flush the liner and poo away down the toilet. If your liners are simply wet, these can be washed with the nappies and re-used up to about 3 to 5 times until the disintegrate. Provided your plumbing is in order, these liners are often safe for most septic tanks. As with all flushable biodegradable liners we advise to tear in two as you pop in the loo to flush to minimise the risk of blockage. If in doubt, or you know you have old or damaged drains then shake to poo off into the toilet and bag and bin the linersAvailable in two sizes, our liners are made in Europe. The smaller Baby liners in packs of 200 (approx size 20 x 19.5cm) are suitable from birth to about 1 year to 18 months or so, the larger liners in packs of 100 (approx size 28 x 19.5cm) are much longer and thus ideal for older babies at their length usually leaves enough liner free to use to wipe baby with, or can be cut in two for a small baby. You may find with a newborn that you don't need to use a liner since the poo frequently washes off the nappies very easily in the early days. Particularly with breastfed poo, which is notoriously runny, you will find that a fleece liner is far more effective at poo catching, as the liquidity of the poo will usually soak straight through these flushable liners.

These soft cellulose liners are strong enough to withstand a few washes if just wet, yet have a softer feel due to their high cellulose content than the regular paper based biodegradable liners. These are thinner than the Ultra Liners.As with all flushable biodegradable liners we advise to tear in two as you pop in the loo to flush to minimise the risk of blockage.

Ultra Liners
Cellulose liners, thicker and softer than the flushable liners. These liners are quite thick compared to our flushable liners, they are made largely of cellulose and are biodegradable, and can be composted, however flushing is not recommended due to their thickness, even if torn into several pieces prior to flushing. If the liner is too big for the nappy do not fold but cut to size.These liners are also strong enough to use as wipes when moistened, and as they hold their shape may be washed and reused a few times for this purpose..Roll of 100.

Twinkle Fleece Liners
Hourglass, available in white or assorted colours.These 100% polyester fleece liners are shaped to fit, being approximately 34cm x 14cm, and hourglass shaped being about 4cm wider at each end. Current stock now singly or packs of 6 in either cream/white or packs of 6 assorted brightly coloured. You can make your own fleece liners from 100% polyester fleece available from all good fabric shops. We were the first site to introduce fleece liners to the UK, and they have proved extremely popular. We have ours made to our own hourglass shape as we find this shape better than rectangular ones as it tends to resist creasing up in use. Polyester fleece gives a nice thickness of non-absorbency between baby and the nappy, allowing wee to be drawn away into the nappy. Ideal for night times, and probably better for your baby's skin than the gel of disposable nappies, these fleece liners really do keep your baby surprisingly dry. Rather than use a desiccant chemical to keep your baby's skin dry, they work by using your baby's body heat to evaporate the moisture through to soak up into the nappy, leaving a dry layer next to your baby's skin. Mind you, I am of a view that marketing has a lot to answer for: it is worth considering what your baby's skin was in for the 9 months whilst in uterus, and indeed keeping skin moist seems to be considered a good thing for many skin conditions - wet wraps were always the best treatment for my daughter's Great Gran's leg ulcers!For newborn babies they are soft, and help keep the poo off the nappies reducing staining. For older babies, when you are expecting a poo, a paper liner can be used on top to facilitate removal if required. However do be aware that a paper liner will tend to hold moisture for longer between baby and fleece liner so negating the effect of the fleece to some extent. They are also easy to wash - in with the nappies at any temperature, and if pooed on, simply stretch over the loo and let the poo fall off! For stickier poo, hold a corner and flush the loo, or, for more sticky situations, fold in two (poo inside so you avoid contact!) and rub in the flush. Long lasting and durable, these work out much more economical than flushable liners with the benefit of being much softer against baby's skin.Colour is white/ivory/cream or similar pale shade depending what is available at the time of your order, or assorted bright colours.Available individually at £1 each or in packs of 6 at £5.

Silver Polyester Liners
NEWFor thousands of years silver has been known as an effective anti-microbial agent. Single celled organisms such as bacteria, yeasts, moulds and fungi are capable of being killed by silver. It is widely accepted nowadays that silver affects the enzyme that is responsible for the cells breathing, thereby suffocating the cells. This means that unlike antibiotics which poison the cell, silver does not cause these micro-organisms to become immune to silver, so there is no concern of repeated use or an incomplete course of treatment. As well as killing micro-organisms, it has been found that silver seems to increase healing effects on plants and animals if applied to sores or wounds.These polyester liners are threaded with silver. Simply place in the nappy or nappy area - our trials show it does not have to be in contact with baby's skin to be effective.Ideal for nappy rash, particularly effective for overnight use.Wash at 40 or 60 with the nappies, tumble drying not recommended or required as these dry very quickly

Hemp Baby Little and Bigger Weeds
Hemp Babies Bigger Weeds are available in both Little and Bigger sizes, these flat nappies are designed to be folded to fit a pocket nappy - the Little Weed in half as a four layer insert and the Bigger Weed in thirds as six layer thick inserts. Made of two layers of hemp fleece comprising 55% Hemp, 45% certified organic cotton, and sewn with natural thread, the Little size is ideal for small/medium size and the Bigger for medium/larger size pocket nappies. For a heavy wetter we suggest wrapping one a Microfibre Inserts inside a Hemp Babies Bigger Weed for a very absorbent overnight solution. Man made fibre tends to hold moisture between the fibres whereas a natural fibre will swell as it absorbs the moisture within the cells of the fibre itself. This means that a heavy wetter may saturate a man made fibre to the point that pressure such will then squeeze the moisture out. This is where a natural fibre helps by 'holding on' to the moisture more effectively.Hemp Babies Bigger Weeds may also be used as a regular prefold with a cover. The insert is approximately the same width and two inches shorter than a fully pre-washed and shrunk regular sized Prefold nappy.

Nappy Nation's Popper Fastening Nappy Height Extender/Booster
Designed to fit main brands of popper fastening nappies. This nappy extender consists of a very absorbent booster pad of soft, unbleached hemp fleece fabric. At one end, the booster becomes 2 layers thick, widens out and is folded over and the sides stitched together to form a pocket which poppers over most main brands of (plastic) snap fastening nappies, to give up to an extra 3 1/2 inches in height to the front of the nappy (there are two fastening rows each of several poppers to popper the tabs of the nappy on to so you can have less rise if required). The tabs of your nappy will then popper on to the front of the extender as normal.This thus has the net result of allowing the nappy to fasten around your toddler's waist which is narrower than the hips, meaning your nappy will now do up with ease. There is some compromise on containment at the legs, the elastic isn't as snug once you have this poppered on however by the time your toddler needs the extenders it is unlikely you'll need explosive poo containment If you wish to improve the leg containment you could always add your own popper at the front to secure in place as you require, or even sew the booster on.An excellent way of giving further life to your nappies - can be washed and dried with your nappies at the same temperature.
