Thanks to Laura for this Frugal Baby Tip!

I have used J-cloths as diaper liners very successfully. They are nice
and big, and you can either fold them up and get a bit more absorbency
as well as a liner, or you can cut them in 2 or 4 and use them like
ordinary liners. You can wash them about 5 times before they start
getting really ratty.

I'm talking about the J-cloths that feel perfectly smooth and make
lousy dishcloths (terrible, because that's what they're meant for) not
the brilliant dishcloths that have lots of tiny holes in them and look
like a proper woven dishcloth. It's a shame they don't make good
liners, because you can boilwash these animals (the manufacturers say
8 times) but I've got cloths here that I've had for well over 18
months, they have been washed and tumble-dried I don't know how many
times, and they're still not giving up!

Btw, that paper the J-cloths that make good liners are made out of is
also called banquetting roll. It comes in huge great rolls for those
enormous tables they serve buffets on. If you can find it, (let me
know) you could make dozens of liners out of it really cheaply.

Btw, the J-cloth idea is a good one for if you haven't got any diapers
and you're travelling. If you can use a diaper cover again, all very
well, but if not, just tie a carrier bag on to keep the folded J-cloth
in place.
