5 out of 5 stars also for wet nights   September 18, 2008
we CD during the day and use the gdiaper at night and really like them


5 out of 5 stars These are great!   September 15, 2008
I wanted to try out the gDiaper after reading about it in a blog, so I ordered the starter kit. I had been using cloth diapers and found that the gDiaper can accommodate a cloth soaker very nicely. I was so happy to have less laundry to do as I am washing mostly cloth soakers now.

I haven't any complaints about leakage--it seems like about the same rate of occurrence as the plastic disposables and a little less than my old cloth method. I was so thrilled with the diaper system that I bought another starter kit and I am pretty much set. That gives me 4 diaper "covers", 8 nylon liners, a couple stacks of flushable soakers for traveling, and two swish sticks for just over $50.00. Very reasonable.

Although I haven't had the opportunity to use the flushable soakers yet, I think this is a great diaper system for someone interested in going cloth (or flushable, if you can afford it).



5 out of 5 stars Dependable and versatile diaper   August 15, 2008

I am a mother of 11 month-old baby girl. I decided to switch to gDiapers after I saw a short feature about it on the Rachael Ray show. I was a little reluctant to try it because it costs more than your regular disposable diaper. But in my quest for a greener household, I decided to buy them. The only concern I had with this product was that the insert tends to bunch up in the front...but I haven't had a leak yet. My daughter HATES having her diapers changed and will squirm and scream while I fasten the straps of her old disposables and button up her onesie. I seem to be able to fasten up the g pants faster than I am able to do with a disposable, so diapering is done before she realizes what had happened (I put a g pant with a fresh inset under the one I am changing and do a quick switch).

The diapers flush fine even without swishing (hope this one doesn't bite me later on) but make sure you throw the outer liner into the toilet just when the water is going down to make sure you don't clog the toilet (I learned that one really quick!). If you are grossed out by the thought of holding a dirty diaper, peeling off the sides, and flushing the guts in the toilet (even if the back end of the insert is hardly ever soiled or wet), then this may not be for you.

I have read that g pants work very well with prefolds, so I am going to try that soon. Because my daughter's daycare does not allow the use of cloth diapers (!), we will be using g diaper inserts at daycare and cloth at home. With this system, I won't have to buy separate pants and liners for the cloth diapers.




3 out of 5 stars gDiapers- good and bad   August 10, 2008

I am trying to be more 'green' these days so the gDiapers starter kit and refills seemed like a good place to start. I love that the cotton refills are completely biodegradable and the liners and pants can be used until my son outgrows them. One thing I've noticed is that I have to change the refills more often than regular disposables, it seems, or else we have leaks. The biggest downer in my mind is that when my 5 month old has a poop diaper (which is sometimes 3-4 times a day!) it pretty much goes everywhere- on the liner, on the pants, sometimes on his other clothes... so I feel like I'm changing diapers more and having more dirty laundry. Maybe that's just part of having a boy!


3 out of 5 stars These are good in some ways...   August 9, 2008

The disposable inserts are a little too expensive. With the rising costs of EVERYTHING, I just can't afford them when the diapers I normally purchase are less than a third of the cost of these. These also leak. The cotton diaper cover felt damp in the front (where my daughter pees) every time I put these on her, even though I was changing them every two hours. I had to wash the cotton covers every time I used one. I also had trouble with the inserts when covered with poo. It was very hard to get them out of the liner without getting any poo on me, the diaper cover, or anything else in close proximity. The covers are cute and seem to be well-designed, but overall, these simply aren't effective enough for me and are far too expensive to boot. I really wanted them to work. I would love to have a green diapering alternative, but these and Nature Babycare (a totally biodegradable disposable) are out of my price range until that day in the distant future when I can refinance and lower my mortgage. I'm not kidding.
