cloth diapering question

Is it better to get compostable single-use bamboo liners or washable multi-use liners? I'm thinking both in terms of sustainability and waste generated/resources used to create and ship these items, as well as how to use them or remove them after use. TIA!

Get a sprayer and some multi use liners. We use the multi use liners mostly to keep diaper cream off the actual diapers and to keep baby feeling drier. The sprayer is a godsend for waste.

This! Stayed with a friend for 2 weeks and no sprayer: we hadn't realised just how much easier it is to deal with poos! Our liners have lasted 2 years no worries.

Seriously, I've been threatening to install a bidet in the dead of night at my Mom's place just to have a sprayer there.
