Today is all about what you're putting inside your diaper: do you know the differences between inserts, doublers, and liners?
Inserts
Example:
What it means: An absorbent piece of material (usually several layers of fabric sewn together) to put inside a diaper such as a pocket or hybrid diaper that has waterproof and/or moisture wicking layers but usually no built in absorbency.
Pros: absorbent
Cons: have to stuff diapers before use
Doublers
Example:
What it means: An absorbent piece of material to add to existing absorbency in a diaper.
Pros: adds absorbency
Cons: extra expense and can add bulk
Liners
Example:
What it means: A piece of fabric set in a cloth diaper to serve as a top layer. Often disposable.
Pros: can protect diapers from being ruined by conventional diaper creams, can make cleaning up poopy diapers easier, can reduce diaper rash
Cons: Added expense and waste if disposable or laundering if reusable
