Quick answer
Choose Tossers if you want the easiest way to handle solid poop, especially once your baby starts solids. Choose Stay Dry Liners if you want a reusable barrier that keeps skin feeling dry and protects diapers from stains. Many families keep both on hand for different stages and situations.
The real difference: disposable convenience vs reusable dryness
Tossers are a disposable liner made of bamboo viscose. You place one inside the cloth diaper, and when it's soiled, you lift it out and throw it away with the solids. That means no scraping or spraying poo into the toilet, which is a big win when your baby's diet starts to include solid food.
Stay Dry Liners are a reusable fleece insert that sits between your baby and the cotton diaper. They wick moisture away from the skin, so your baby feels dry even if the diaper is wet. They also create a barrier that helps prevent stains on the diaper itself, and they make it easier to remove solid poop before washing because the liner catches most of it.
When disposable liners make more sense
Disposable liners like Tossers are most useful during the messy transition to solid foods, when poop becomes pasty and harder to deal with. They're also handy for travel or outings when you don't want to carry soiled liners home. Because they're one-size (7" x 11"), they fit most diapers, but you'll need to replace them regularly, which adds ongoing cost and waste.
When reusable liners win
Reusable Stay Dry Liners are a better fit if you want to reduce waste and avoid repeat purchases. They're washable and come in a 12-pack, so you can rotate them between washes. The fleece layer is especially helpful for overnight diapers because it keeps the baby feeling dry even when the diaper is saturated. However, you'll still need to handle solid poop before washing—though the liner makes it easier to lift off the mess.
Can you use both?
Yes, and many parents do. You might use Tossers during the day when you're out and about, and Stay Dry Liners at night or when you're home and can wash them. Just remember that Tossers are disposable, so you'll need to restock, while Stay Dry Liners require laundering. Neither liner is a substitute for a proper diaper wash routine; they're tools to make cloth diapering more manageable.
Decision rules for choosing a cloth diaper liner
- If your baby is eating solid food and poop is pasty: Use Tossers disposable liners. They let you lift out the mess and throw it away, avoiding scraping or spraying. Keep a roll near the changing station for quick disposal.
- If you want to keep your baby feeling dry overnight: Use Stay Dry Liners as a reusable barrier. The fleece wicks moisture away, so the baby feels dry even after a wet diaper. Pair with a overnight cloth diaper booster for extra absorbency.
- If you're minimizing waste and ongoing costs: Choose Stay Dry Liners. They're washable and reusable, so you buy once and launder them with your diapers. Buy enough to cover wash days—the 12-pack helps.
- If you're traveling or away from home: Pack Tossers for easy cleanup on the go. You can throw away the liner with the poop, so you don't have to carry it home. Keep a few in your diaper bag for outings.
- If you want both convenience and dryness: Use Tossers for messy poops and Stay Dry Liners for overnight or when you want to protect diapers from stains. Many families use both. Try a pack of each to see what fits your routine.
