Even though they are disposable? Is there any reason (other than the company wants me to buy more) that these can't be rinsed and reused?

I think that they are sterile and not really suppose to be reused. I personally wouldn't reuse.

I personally wouldn't reuse because they wouldn't be as sterile as they are the first use. They are called disposable liners for a reason because you throw them away after you use them. If price is an issue may I suggest buying Parent's Choice brand bottle liners they are cheaper than Playtex bottle liners and more liners come in a box of Parent's Choice than a box of Playtex and they do fit the Playtex bottles.

I actually rinsed with soap and reused those liners...not all the time, just when I didn't have time to get to the store for more. They're plastic so the more you reuse, the more they'll lose their shape and could leak. But there is no harm in reusing them sometimes.

I don't see why not, although I would be concerned with how sterile they are. You probably can't boil them. Normally I wouldn't be concerned with sterilizing bottles that often because babies do need some bacteria introduced to them so they can build up immunities. However, this wouldn't necessarily be a matter of everyday bacteria because it'd be microorganisms leftover from milk which can get your baby really sick--even if you use formula. I'd assume that if you can wash them out with antibacterial dish soap and rinse and dry really well that they should be okay.

Rinsing does not kill bacteria. They are made to be disposable..used once and thrown away. Switch to regular bottles if you dont like buying the refills.

No you can't reuse them. everything is supposed to be sterilized in boiling water and I am pretty sure you cannot boil those things.

They aren't sterile after you use them. I know at wal-mart and target they have the cheaper brand, which is just as good, for a couple dollars less. I would be afraid of the bacteria in them after use.

I did, when I was in a pinch, but you are not supposed to reuse them.

I dont believe that it was meant to be used like that - you may want to contact the company and see

Once the baby is older and you don't need to worry about sterilizing everything, I think it's OK. Just refill it right away and put it in the fridge.
