Will these liners protect my cloth diapers from a zinc oxide-based diaper cream?

No, I had to use disposables whenever I used that kind of cream on my daughter!!

No - as a comparison, these are like very thin dryer sheets. They work exactly as stated by the description to provide a barrier between solids (solid, solids), not ointments or creams. We are fairly conservative with the amount of cream used and some always made it through to the cloth insert.

I wouldn't guarantee 100% protection, but I had very, very little of my zinc oxide (or my un-petroleum) creams get through onto my diapers. If you are worried about it for warranty issues on certain diapers, then definitely do as the other comment states and grab some light flannel liners or boosters. If, however you are worried about it for absorption issues personally, then I can just state that I have not had any issues from the minute amounts of creams that may occasionally go through. Hope that helps!

If you use natural fibers and mainstream detergent, zinc oxide will wash out of them. Desitin has been around long before disposable diapers and our parents and grandparents used it and they washed diapers with adequate amounts of strong detergent. The whole "cloth diaper safe" thing came to pass because of the recommendation to use a small amount of weak detergent to wash diapers came around and weak detergent won't get out the stains. If you use natural fibers and strong detergent, you don't need these liners. I have never had any staining with my natural fiber diapers and strong detergent (Arm & Hammer with Oxiclean, Gain, Tide, or Wisk - whatever is on sale).

Yes, but they are on the small side for me. I love and highly recommend GroVia's liners if that is your need. These are better for adding a staydry layer between the diaper fabric and your baby's bum.

That's a toughy because the plastic prevents leaking through. I think all liners have a plastic shield (the part that has the sticky tape to adhere to your panties). Sorry I couldn't help more.

20% zinc oxideInactive ingredients are mineral oil and petrolatum. You can see the full label if you do a google search for rugby laboratories zinc oxide oint. Takes you right to the manufacturer's website. I got ok with the petrolatum, even though I'm not thrilled about it. Hard to find a good diaper cream without it.

They would work for that purpose, but I would have to agree that they are a little too small/move around too much to adequately protect the diaper. We added these just to have a staydry layer between the prefold and our baby. For that purpose, they work great. I just chose a cloth diaper safe cream (Earth Mama baby bottom balm, which I love and highly recommend) so I wouldn't have to worry about it.

These are not diaper inserts. They are liners (think coffee filter like) that you place between the diaper and baby's skin to make cleaning up BMs much easier.

I don't know what the planet wise liner is, but I don't see why you couldn't use it for cloth diapers. Buy it, check it out, if it's not good for your needs then return it.

Hi Kaleena. You can and i recommend you to use liner with these cloth diapers. I don't understand the second part of your question but if you are asking how to best maintain the diaper, i would recommend you to wash them with dishwasher detergent because conventional soap can block it's absorbing power.

You don't need diaper liners if your baby is exclusively breastfed or bottle fed. Save your money. The liners only catch solids.

I haven't used them yet as my son is a bit too small still. I did fold a prefold and stuff it in the pocket part of the diaper to see it it would fit (it did), and by my research they should work if you want to use them instead of the microfiber liners.

In my opinion they work best! My little guy is a heavy wetter and these have held him overnight. My husband and I place 2 liners in his diaper and they hold pretty well. Using two didn't make the diapers too bulky at all. These are more absorbant to us than the bamboo or hemp.

I have never used destin specifically, but I have used a couple other creams that weren't deemed "cloth diaper" safe, and haven't had a problem yet. In my opinion these are the best liners and I've tried a few different kinds.

Yes. I always use the flushable liner with diaper cremes and even auqaphore and I have never had any problems with buildup.

I use them when I use diaper rash ointment on my 2 month old and they work great. My Best Bottom diapers recommend a liner with any ointment so that residue does not build up and limit diaper absorption.

From what I've read and heard these are excellent for cloth diapers. I only have 1 friend who has used them for this purpose. She loves it. Hope this helps

i don't think they are, but you could always switch to using a diaper pail reusable liner, like from planetwise.

This did not help, was causing diaper rash within first use. And this diaper is also very bulky on infant with no air flow. I would say, it's better to stick with 4.0 bum genius diapers where you have inserts.
