I actually started out using only Gdiapers in the beginning, and I have had a great experience. They are great to use for traveling and running errands. I love that they are sooo simple to use, and enviro friendly at the same time. The velcro tabs fastening in the back is a genius idea as they learn quickly how to take their diapers off :) The only downside of them is the pricing on the actual flushable inserts. Alot of mom's turn to cloth/semi cloth diapering to also save money. I think Gdiaper is such a great product overall, and would and will buy them in the future!
I love these diapers.They fit my daughter well, are easy to use and allow her bottem to breathe so she does not get as many rashes.They make me feel good that I'm not putting more waste into a land fill.
My husband and I ordered a bulk amount from their website, which came out to a whopping $60+ for about 128 in the medium! I really love the concept of these flushable dipes, but they are not cheap! We recently discovered that the Nugget grocery market up the street sells the starter packs, which come with 2 little g pants (covers) and 4 snap in liners, and 10 pads (the flushable dipe). I have to agree with "Olof." ..if you are going to purchase more covers, just save yourself some $ and keep getting the started packs. They come out cheaper in the end, since each cover is about 18 bucks and you get 2 in each pack plus 10 flushable dipes for about 27 bucks incl. tax. So it's like you get 10 free flushable diapers each time you buy 2 g pants! In theory that is... Although now I think they only sell the starter packs in the "vanilla and tangerine" colors whereas before it used to come in all the colors, and you pick which color combo you want off the shelf. Perhaps, they caught on to us frugal shoppers? LOL Lucky for me, I bought the starter pack 3 times, so I have: green, red, blue, orange, and white and saved a bundle doing it that way. Nowa days, I use the little g pants for prefolds, and haven't bought the actual packs of g-diapers in quite some time now. There have been reports of success using prefolds in place of the pads so one day I gave them a try and have been using strictly cloth with the g pants ever since - it's been about 4 months now and it's totally working out for us. Try them out, you will be surprised at how great the concept of the flushable diaper is! What's great is that you can compost the wet ones! It's true! Check out www.gdiaper.com and u will learn alot about disposables vs. flushables (or cloth). Once you educate yourself, if you are like me, you will make the switch. In the long run, if you want to save money, and still want to maintain your "tree hugger" values, I would suggest using cloth in lieu of the pads since they work just as good as other covers on the market. I would recommend either chinese prefolds, or gerber birdseye prefolds with the little g pants. Hope this helps! Happy Diapering!
I didn't end up using these as much as I would have liked to. I started using them when my little boy was only 2 weeks old because before that it was to high for his belly button. He also was to skinny for it and would pee out the sides of the thing all the time. I was breastfeeding so he was pooping all the time so I was hand washing the covers because I only had 4 and that was way not when he was pooping so often. This might be really nice in the larger sizes for older kids that do not poo more than 2-3 times a day. It is cheaper to get the starter boxes than it is to buy the covers separately. I like my cloths a lot better than these. I might convert these into cloth diaper covers for my next child since my son has outgrown the smalls already and he is not even 3 months yet.
I absolutely love gDiapers. They are how i transitioned from disposables and I still use them now even with full cloth at home! The idea of a hybrid diaper is genius! I can use flushable/compostable inserts while out on the go for the ease and convenience, and still feel great about not loading landfills with petrofilled diapers. Cloth inserts at home make these a breeze too!
I loved the idea of the gDiaper long before I was even pregnant so when I had my baby I was determined to give them a try. I'm happy I did. They aren't perfect but they work really well when you are at home and not expecting a big poop. I use them during the day (though we've made it through the night) and usually just at home (though I've also had sucess using them on the go - just requires having one or two prepped beforehand so you are messing around with the inserts.) They aren't really absorbant enough for overnight and they don't stand up to poop as well as a disposible. That said, I love that I can compost the non-poopy inserts and I like that they aren't full of chemicals. I will definitely continue to use them. They are easy to use and I have found that just a few covers are enough.
