Pros: GREAT at keeping BMs off diapers: makes cleanup a breeze! Washable/reusable, tossable; Generously sized.
Cons: NOT FLUSHABLE, per manufacturer instructions. Cannot be machine dried.
The Bottom Line: HIGHLY recommended: in cloth diapering, they've simplified clean-up more than anything else we've tried! Also LOVE that they are completely washable & reusable, saving lots of money.

| lunadancer's Full Review: Gerber Childrenswear Ez Liner Diaper Liners |
We have been using Gerber EZ Liners daily for nearly 2 years now, in my daughter's cloth diapers. They are made from polypropylene (used in hiking clothes to wick away moisture), so they do not absorb moisture...rather, these liners allow it to just wick on through to the cloth diaper, helping keep your baby feeling dryer.
BUT what makes them a "best friend to parents" is their ability to keep BM solids from sticking to the cloth diapers, which makes clean-up 1000 times easier!!! You just lift the liner out, BM and all, leaving only a stain on the diaper to treat...no solids to wash off the diaper by dunking into the toilet (ugh).
You can then place the liners in the trash, but I've found them completely reusable by washing, saving a lot of money on purchasing. I simply shake the solids off into the toilet, then rinse out the liner in the sink (which is super fast because nothing sticks to it for long). I then put them with the diapers in the pail, and they get washed and sanitized. After separating them from the diapers and air-drying, they're ready for more uses! (I don't wash the really messy ones...I use a small baggie first so smells don't linger, then toss in the trash).
They do eventually get too thin to use again, but I'd say I get at least 4 uses out of each one. AND if they've only been in a diaper with urine, they dry quickly and could get used again without washing, if you like. I prefer to wash mine after each use.
NOTE: The packaging states NOT to flush these...since they are made of polypropylene, the fibers will not break apart in sewer or septic systems, so flushing them is discouraged.
The price depends on where you buy them: Ebay is typically $2/box, but I have also found them on-line for $4-6/box (1 box contains 120 liners). http://www.cloth-diaper.com or http://www.motherease.com
