| The Starter kit, if you're thinking about buying G diapers, is alot cheaper to buy several of than to buy one and several covers of. Depending on what you use them for, trips or everyday, you may need a two or three starters or more. The new design is better, it doesn't leak with just one insert but change baby often. Stick to the two hour rule, for those of you who don't know it, every two hours if you can't smell anything, you check. If it smells, you change it. This is not like disposible diapers where people leave them on for four-six hours at a time and the thing just keeps absorbing urine. If that is your practice you aren't going to like these things, they will leak, they are not made to balloon up. FYI Please don't do that! It does cause a red chemical burns and will cause your baby to fuss and scream in pain when you put them in the bath. This is common sense, comes straight out of every baby book, not medical advice (insert not lible yada yada) please feel free to take it or not but you'd be suprised how many people have this problem. Frankly it's a huge petpeeve of mine. It hurts the baby and that hurts my heart. Plus the smell makes other kids leary of playing with your kid and me wanting to sit next to you with that stink. My son's cloth diapers will keep a bad smell in better than some of those disposiables, so there's many reasons to change them. The smell is just worse, if that will motivate where your baby won't. Frankly I dislike disposibles, they are hard on the bottom, even some of the biodegradable corn ones and expensive. These however aren't bad on the bum. But they do fall into the disposible trap, they are just too expensive to use daily. If you buy inserts all at once you can write to the company for a discount or try finding one threw the stores online. But you are better off buying AIO online at the big evil chain store (I can't put the name down so I thought everyone would recognize the reference?). For eighty bucks you can have diapered your kid for life, rather than one month. Please take the advice in kindness, if it sounds preachy thats because it is a pet peeve, it isn't meant to sound so. |

| I'm the mother of two boys (and another child on the way). My first is potty trained and I used disposible only on him. I was starting to feel a little guilty about how much we've contributed to landfills so I decided to try out G diapers on my 2 year old. He has eczema so my first concern was that his skin wouldn't tolerate the materials. However, this was not the case. For the first week his skin seemed a little dry but this must have been triggered by something else or maybe he just grew tolerant of the materials. The only leaks we've had have been at night. Our son sleeps 12 hrs per night. I've tried to double up as suggested on the gdiaper website but the liner didn't stay in place. Maybe after more practice I'll get it right. However, the leaks at night were confined to the diaper and pj pants, they were not bad enough to wet the crib sheets. My husband refuses to try and flush the liners (he thinks anything other that disposibles is weird) but I still feel better about the fact that the liners will biodegrade instead of sitting in a landfill. These diapers don't require too much extra effort and so far, its been worth it. Plus, they look so cute! |

| My wife and I are first time parents and wanted a diaper that was earth friendly. The Seventh Generation diapers are good but they're not as earth friendly as they could be. So we tried the gDiaper and love it. It's easy to use and better than the all in one cloth diapers. I'd recommend the gDiaper to anyone who has a baby or is going to have a baby. Can't say enough goo dthings about these diapers. I only wish they were a little cheaper when buying extras. |

| I purchased a 4 pack of the inserts and we love this product. We are doing our part to help the environment and encourage others to do the same. If you are looking for a diaper that is a cross between a cloth diaper and a disposable...look no further. My daughter was getting diaper rashes each week with the disposable diapers. Since we have been using the gDiapers she has not had the first diaper rash. She loves them as much as we do. |

gDiapers: Changing the world from the bottom up
Diapers, a hot button issue among eco-minded parents. Cloth? Disposables? How about a new, middle way: flushing baby's waste the same place as the rest of the family?
gDiapers are flushable inserts fit into adorable cotton g-pants. The inserts are absorbant and, with a practiced bit of tearing and swishing, flush down the toilet. Or the wet ones can be composted; they biodegrade completely in about a month! No diaper pail, no overflowing trashcan. The g-pants don't have to be washed every time, as usually only the insert gets messy. The pants have a waterproof nylon liner which can be removed quickly and easily for a quick wash in the sink when an inevitable "blow out" happens. When the time for washing does come, toss the pants and liner into the laundry.
But the real question is, how well do they work? I've been using them for over a year, and love them! They leak less than the disposables or cloth diapers I used with my first child. As testament to how much so, consider that I don't carry a spare outfit for baby in my purse! With my first child, it was a regular event to have change not just the diaper, but the rest of the clothes too. Now, the diaper always contains everything, everytime! And I like how flexible they are for different situations: use a flushable g, or a cloth insert, or at night add a second flushable for a heavy wetter. I use flushables while out, and at daycare, flushing them when convenient, or disposing of them in the trash when the situation dictates. At home, we use cloth inserts in the same g-pants.
Available in stores and online from several retailers, some of whom offer free shipping. As with almost anything with babies, there is a learning curve, but the customer service for the company is amazingly quick and responsive.
Change your baby AND change the world... from the bottom up! No landfill required. |
