AppleCheeks Diaper Liners VS. Bummis BioSoft Diaper Liners

The diaper liner is a well known tool for most cloth diapering families. It is though one that is often forgotten in my house because at 19 months Eli and Ellie are wiggly and just want to run and play so the diaper has to go on quick and the liner is sometimes an after thought. But when remembered it is GREATLY appreciated!

For those of you reading this and wondering, "What the heck is a diaper liner?" It is a piece of fleece cloth or other flushable material that you lay on top of the diaper to catch the messy diapers so you can just pick up the liner and either rinse it in the toilet (fleece cloth) or just flush it down the toilet with the flushable ones. The liners help keep stains off cloth diapers and make cleaning up those really messy diapers SO much easier!

Bummis flushable liners are 100% viscose rayon, a cellulosic fibre derived from natural sources, and are made to their specifications in England.


AppleCheeks flushable liners are also 100% Viscose but, made in China.
Here is what I found comparing both of the liners:
BioSoft liners come in two sizes.
      Size 1 is 5" x 12"
      Size 2 is 7.5" x 12"
AppleCheeksliners come in one size and are 6.5" x 11"
The BioSoft liners are not quite as soft as AppleCheeks liners but still soft.
Both liners come in rolls of 100.
Both liners do exactly what they say and catch the mess so you can just pick it up and flush.

For me I prefer the AppleCheeks because of my petite babies. The Size 2 BioSoft liners are just too wide and I end up folding them in a little and the Size 1s are too narrow now, but as infants they sure worked well! So AppleCheeks fits the gap for us coming in a little wider than the Size 1s but narrower than the size 2s.

You can purchase BioSoft liners here at My Baby Pumpkin.
You can purchase AppleCheek Liners here at Sweetbottoms Baby Boutique.

Both AppleCheeks 2 Sized Washable Diaper System and the Bummis line of cloth diapers are Canadian companies that proudly manufacture all their diapers in Canada.

I have had personal contact from each company. Ilana and Amy at AppleCheeks are two of the funnest people I have "met." I say "met" as I have only corresponded through email and watching their live Ustream chat during the release of their two prints. I can say they are quite a pair and I am sad I may never know them in person because they seem so fun! Definately people who would brighten a dark day! 

I have been in email contact with Shirley at Bummis in the past also by doing testing of new products for them. I have had the honor of participating in two different testing rounds for different products. While I cannot discuss the items I have tested besides their news cover the SuperLite, which you can see here, I can say that they are really out to find the newest cloth diaper hit. It is a long process getting through testing so I have been patiently waiting to see what or when they bring some of the products I have tested to the market.

I have enjoyed both companies and can say they both strive to help their customers be happy and succeed with their cloth diapering choices. I highly recommend both companies to those searching around for the right cloth diaper.
