Diaper pant colors may vary. For the last 40 years there have been but two choices in diapers. Cloth or disposable. Thats it. Now gDiapers offers a third option. Flushable. gDiapers puts waste where it belongs, in the toilet. Not the landfill. gDiapers have no elemental chlorine, no perfumes, no smell, no garbage and no guilt. In fact, flushables are so gentle on the Earth you can even garden compost the wet ones in one compost cycle, approximately 50 150 days. Just think of the standing ovation youll get from the planet.

Summary: The best you can make for your baby
Comment: When we had our newborn we struggled trying to decide between cloth and disposable diapers. The cloth can cost a lot now but the disposables cost our planet a lot more in the long run. The gDiapers are a great compromise. We would highly recommend them to everyone. Easy to use, effective, reasonably priced, and ecological.

Summary: LOVE THEM
Comment: This is one of the best products I have ever used! I have an 8 week old and have tried cloth diapers but they just leaked like crazy. Gdiapers don't leak at ALL even at night, they are easy to use, and they don't pollute the environment. I have donated ALL my other diapers and use gdiapers exclusively. BUY these, feel good about the planet, and feel good about your baby. I can't say enough.

Summary: Great alternative! Review from a former pampers user!
Comment: Easy to use! I took back cases of pampers that I received as shower gifts. These are cute, with lots of diaper cover options(I have only found them on the gdiapers website). We use these whenever we go out. I also use 3.0 bum genius around the house in addition to gdiapers. Gdiapers will leak if you do not change your baby often. I have heard others say that two liners, one used as instructed and the other folded up front for boys, in the middle for girls helps with that problem, especially overnight. Some people also use inserts or prefolds with these covers and use liners for going out. The covers come in small, med and large. The inserts come in small and med/large. Covers are soft and durable. The liners are also pretty soft. They are not like pampers, number 2 will not absorb into the pad-if your baby is on the smaller than the suggested weight for the diapers, they could be MESSY. Covers wash easily, no stains so far. But this has only been a problem with our baby until he reached about 8 lbs. Great for the environment, If you follow the instructions, they flush easily. We mostly throw ours in the trash. Using these and bum genius- I will never again use a regular diaper. I bought enough gdiapers and liners in small, med, and large to last through this and our next baby! The covers are an investment and they are one of the reasons these seem so pricey. If you will be having more kids, this could save money since you will only need to buy liners later on.

Summary: Great and Eco Friendly
Comment: Since my son ended up with horrible eczema from disposables, we were on the hunt for an alternative, which I prefer cloth, but for nighttime use, we can't get a hold on leaking. I've tried seventh generation with success, but they don't hold my son overnight, and the new tabs rip too easily. I was curious about Little g's since I found out about them, especially knowing that they don't clog up landfills. There are definitely pros and cons, just like any diapering system:

Pros:
Eco friendly
Relatively inexpensive initial investment (unlike cloth)
Less laundry because of the snap in liners (and you can wash the diapers with regular wash, unlike cloth, which requires its own special load)
Can use cloth diaper inserts/doublers if you want to cut out the cost of buying refills.

Cons:
You may still have to buy refills
Unless you have them preloaded, it can be a pain to get it set up while your baby waits (and they suggest having them loaded and ready to go in the HUG)
It's a little bit of a pain to make sure you have the proper seal, but this may get easier with time.

In general, this is an OK diaper. I find that the inserts bunch up in a weird way that looks uncomfortable. The liner also feels a bit scratchier than a conventional disposable, which I plan on calling Little g about. It feels a little too papery for my liking. We mainly use these for night time and when using them according to the HUG (one liner in its regular spot, and sushi rolling the second up front for boys) we've had no problems with leaks and my son is one of the heaviest wetters I know. There's no cloth diaper that we've tried that will hold him overnight (11-12 hours), so I consider g diapers a night time success.

Overall, I will probably continue to use these for night time as they work well, although, I may take a strip of microfleece to put over the scratchy inserts and wick moisture away from him, but they're a great hybrid diaper, and I feel better knowing that I can compost them or toss them and they will biodegrade.

Summary: Bleah. Definitely a miss for us. Only if you have the time & money.
Comment: So, I want to be more green in raising my son. I didn't want to use disposable diapers.

However.

Gdiapers are not the answer. Any diaper that doesn't keep the stool contained is NOT a green diaper-- the resources involved in laundering clothes and liner/cloth outers pretty much cancels out any benefit. My son stools following every nursing session and also in-between. I would be doing laundry 24/7 instead of every other day if we continued using this cr*p.

I am SO disappointed, especially as I bought the starter pack, 2 extra gdiaper outers, liners, and 2 bags of the 'refills.' ALL of which I will not use and cannot really afford not to.

Pampers 'swaddlers' are great in keeping the waste away from my son's body and also away from his clothes. Cheaper in every way-- saving water, 7th Gen. detergent, my time and effort, and less wear on his clothes.

The ones I did use plugged the toilet as well, despite following the directions and then some.
