if you use playtex drop-ins...

Kelli2507

do you reuse the liners? and if you do for how long. I am so sick of buying liners.

TIA

i never reuse them. always toss them when i wash the bottle.

I have asked the same question but I have ended up throwing out the liners. I started using the drop in because I was SOOOOO sick of washing bottles and I loved the idea of just throwing out the liner and just washing the nipple.

I don't reuse the liners but, like you, it gets old buying them.

No but I probably should. Then again, we use primarily dr. browns and have the drop-ins on hand for travel and when we're in a pinch.

I never reuse them.  Have your tried parent's choice liners from walmart - they are much cheaper than the playtex brand and work just as well.

I wash and reuse them.  I'd guess I use each one 4-5 times before throwing it away.  I use a bottle brush on it and it works great

someone told me they reuse them 3 times before they start leaking. This sounds crazy to me. We dont' resue them, I use them for convenience, that makes them inconvenient IMO. We use the generic target or walmart brand tho, its a bit cheaper and we haven't had any issues with them.

ITA - if you want to wash liners, might as well just get bottles that dont require liners. we use a few different bottles and drop-ins are my favorite because theyre so quick to wash.

we started out by using the Avent bottles. and for $7-$10 a bottle those things stink! If we didn't put the nipple on a certain way they would always leak.  so we went to the drop-in full throttle. not for the convenience but because we never have had a leakage issue.. except for the one time L pulled on the bag so hard it fell out and went everywhere..

We don't reuse ours, but my Target carries 100 ct Up & Up liners.  Definitely saves us from having to buy them so often, though it seems like I'm at Target 2-3x/wk anyway, LOL.

I don't re-use them because washing them defeats the main thing I like about them (the convenience).

I never re-use the liners.  Yuck.

This.  If you're not tossing the Drop-Ins liners after every use, why not just use regular bottles?  The whole point of the liner is the convenience (no bottle washing). 

We buy the Meijer brand, they're about half the price of Playtex.  I BF so DS only gets bottles when I'm not around, so we don't have to buy liners very often.

I do not reuse them mainly because I only use the drop-ins for milk storage and to send to the DCP. If I need to use a bottle I'd use the Playtex Ventaire.
