Amazon.com Product Description The gDiapers diapering system is an innovative, convenient, and "green" alternative to traditional disposable diapers. gDiapers consist of a "little g" pants reusable, washable outer layer, which is fitted with an absorbent, fully decomposable refill. The gDiapers Flushable Refill pack for Medium and Large sizes includes 32 refills. They are for use with medium- or large-sized "little g" pants, which fit children 13 to 28 pounds and 26 to 36 pounds, respectively.  | gDiapers offer: - Flushable, decomposable diapers that offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposables
- Breathable, non-plastic diapering system that keeps baby's skin healthier
- Decomposable liners can be composted
|  | |  | Flushable, Decomposable Diapers The gDiaper refills are completely decomposable. They're made from sustainably farmed wood fluff pulp, sodium polyacrylate (SAP), which provides absorbency, and cellulose rayon. And they can be flushed down the toilet, which has a couple of wonderful benefits. First, it eliminates the need to keep smelly diapers around in a diaper pail. Second, it keeps unnecessary waste out of the landfills. And finally, the entire contents of the diaper gets processed by sewage treatment plants, which return treated, completely sanitized solids to be converted into valuable fertilizer. It's recycling at its best! If you're unable to flush the liners, they can still be thrown in the trash without guilt, since they will decompose in 50 to 150 days -- a much better turnaround than their plastic counterparts. And, if you're a gardener, you can simply throw the wet liners in your compost bin. (Note: for sanitary reasons, never put poopy diapers in the compost.) As Easy As Traditional Disposables -- but Healthier To use the gDiaper refills, simply fit the disposable refill into the "little g" pant's washable liner. Once the diaper is soiled, simply remove the refill from the liner and flush it. The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, it's just as easy to put on a baby as traditional disposable diapers -- no pins to deal with here. Plus, its breathable qualities help keep baby's skin healthier by minimizing diaper rash. Tips for Successful gDiaper Use Some plumbing systems may have problems with the flushable liners, including systems with tree-infested pipes; non-standard plumbing systems, including grinders or house traps; and septic tanks, which require close monitoring to make sure the outflow is clear. It is recommended that only poopy diapers be put into septic systems, and wet ones be composted. But even if your plumbing system won't accept the gDiaper flushables, you can always simply throw them in the trash where they'll quickly decompose, making a much more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposable diapers.

Product Description gDiapers flushable refills are plastic free. They contain super-absorbing lock away cells (SAP) for high absorbency both day and night. The outer material is made of all natural fibers and has a stay dry feel. Refills can be flushed, composted (wet ones only) or thrown away.

Mom Tested, Baby Approved August 29, 2010 New Mama Shannon (Portlandia, Oregon) We started our little one on Gdiapers because we wanted less environmental waste - takes 500 years for a disposable diaper to break down while this only takes 150 days - and something that was more natural.
Pricing: With Amazon's subscribe and save, 15% off however, they were running a promo with 30% off at which time I bulked up. I purchased three cases at a time very quickly and have about a 8 month stock pile saved up. At 30% off it is about the same cost of a disposable diaper. Also, because the inserts are one size (M/L 13-36 lbs) you can stock up without worrying that your little one will out grow them like disposable diapers.
Size: We started out our little one on the medium Gs at 11.5 lbs. They are recommended to start at 13 lbs, however we had no problems starting earlier. We didn't invest in the small Gs because I knew she would grow out of them quickly so we used disposables (7th generation) for about 2 months. Yes she looked like she was wearing a ginormous diaper but that faded quickly as she grew quickly. Also, I only purchased 4 medium diapers and 4 large diapers and additional 12 plastic liners - Amazon doesn't sell the liners but you can and should buy them directly from the G diaper website. This has proven a sufficient amount.
Wash: Poop should not get on the G cloth part. If it is, you don't have the diaper on right. I didn't watch the videos but rather used common sense and made sure that the inner liner was very snug against her. We only had one blow out so far. I have thrown the inner plastic liner and cloth part in the washer and had no problems. Just make sure you hang dry so that they don't wear out quickly. You don't need to wash the cloth part after every changing, only if it gets poop or pee on it. This prevents the velcro from wearing out quickly. Inner plastic liners may need to be changed and washed more often.
Disposal: We don't compost the diapers because maintaining our little one and working full time has proven enough. So I don't know much about the composty-ness of the G. We did purchase a Diaper Dekor (a diaper pail) and it does have plastic biodegradble bag. Also available through Amazon. So the bag and the diapers should break down rather quickly.
Diaper Rash: Our little one has had no diaper rash from these diapers. The diapers don't have harsh chemicals like other diapers.
Danger: I'm a mom who lives on the edge - i.e. doesn't put anything under baby when changing her and the G diaper has saved me on occasion. The inner liner will hold pee so I can clean up the mess quickly without pee going everywhere. Also, since my baby still is small, I put the diaper on backwards. The tabs face me rather than put behind her, this just makes changes easier.
Choice: We wanted our baby to have minimal impact on the environment so invested in these diapers. We also invest in her food and only buy organic formula. We purchased many other baby products second hand, swing $10, stroller $3, bassinet $10, etc. (yes good quality and clean) So it can be done on a budget and you don't need to make gobs of money to afford these diapers. These diapers are great, easy to use and minimally impact the environment.
The best diaper August 20, 2010 K. Green (United States) gDiapers are the best. They take a bit of getting used to, but after a day are soooo easy to use. No plastic means better for the environment too! Easy to dispose of with no guilt, flush, toss or compost. My daughter has had no diaper rash or issues at all with this diaper.
I would never use another brand of diaper.
Awesome Product August 19, 2010 B. Weaver (California) I love gDiapers, I primarily use cloth in them but I love that I have the option of using a biodegradable disposable insert. I love that I don't feel bad about it & it's great because I can switch to these super easy if we ever have diaper rash. We haven't had diaper rash, we have had heat rash in the diaper area & used the disposables while that cleared up.
I also use the small disposable inserts in my swim diapers (the m/l are too big) so I don't have to put the babies in a regular diaper on the way to the pool, this makes it super convenient. My husband took the babies into the pool with the insert still in and we had no problems.
LOVE THEM!!! August 3, 2010 Cheyanne I Love gDiapers, especially the "Flushies"! I have 4 children, 2 of them under the age of 2, so I needed something quick & easy when I go to change them. Not to mention the savings compared to disposables. They don't bunch. They're not bulky like some other brands can be. They're easy to use. Best of all, they are eco-friendly! I reccomend them to anyone who is thinking of using a reuseable cloth diaper system but doesn't want the extra laundry. Thank you gDiapers!
Love these. August 2, 2010 Sara Great alternative to disposables, and perfect for when cloth diaper users need a little break. Awesome that they are flushable and biodegradable. Subscribe and Save is the cheapest anywhere for a case of refills.
