Any disposable diaper, even those claiming that they are “natural” and free of chemicals, are still bad for the environment, not because of the chemicals, but because of the plastic that keeps the pee and poop in the diaper. That plastic is what takes 500 years to decompose. so, you may be buying the “best” disposable diaper, but it’s still a disposable, and still has plastic that takes 500 years to decompose.

Best thing is cloth. Regardless of the system you use (gdiapers, prefolds na dcovers, AIOs, etc.), it is less harmful on the environment, becuase instead of 6000 diapers per child going to the landfill (which is the average for a newborn to potty train), only a couple of dozen (if that) go into the landfill, and that’s AFTER you use the cloth for all your children, something you can’t do with ANBY disposables on the market.

gdiapers may have gel in their disposable liners, but it doesn’t have plastic, and will decompose within 55 days. See their experiments on video on their site, or on youtube to see the comparison and see “live” how they actually do decompose.

I use cloth part-time, but I’m trying to do it full-time. I feel part-time is better than never. I use covers with inserts and prefold, and I love AIOs. I do want to try gdiapers too though, but I would use them with the cloth inserts, or use my prefolds in them and only use the disposable insert while out of the house. I’m hoping to buy some soon, if I can find a good price.

If you don’t like chemicals, use cloth. We have had a great experience with gdiapers.

we love gdiapers and they work great for our second daughter. she rarely has any blow outs, no more then with reagular huggies that we used before. the big reason we did the switch to gdiapers is because my daughter has really sensitive skin. she would get diaper rash at least once a week and once had it for 6 weeks without going away, 3 dr. appointments and a $200 diaper rash cream. since doing to switch to gdiapers, she hasnt had diaper rash again. i buy mine at Buy Buy Baby and use a $5 or $10 off Bed Bath and Beyond coupon. use the coupon and buy the $25 starter kits, you get the gpants for under $10 each. you can also buy new gpants on ebay as well. in the end, gdiapers ended up being cheaper then huggies + the diaper rash cream and dr. appointments. WE LOVE THEM and will use them for on our next expected baby in june!

I’ve been using gdiapers with my newborn (after the cord fell off) and love them. I started using EC at 3 weeks and it has really cut down on poopy diapers. I use cloth while around the house and use the gdiapers while on outing or overnight. No problem with blowouts but HERE’S A TRICK TO AVOID BLOWOUTS – I turn the paper edge underneath the inner, absorbent liner when I’m stuffing them into the plastic liner. you really need to get a seal, if the insert is bunching that is where you will get a blow out.

I have been using gdiapers with my second since she was a newborn(she’s now 3 months). She is exclusively breastfed and the gdiapers rarely leak even wih those explosive poops. I’ve had a few leaks when the diaper is pretty full when she poops, but only onto the gpant at the legs, never up the back, and never on her clothing, and even this is pretty rare. Maybe you weren’t fitting them quite right? You have to make sure the edges of the liner are right in the creases of their legs, then fasten the pants, then pull up front and back to ensure a good seal.

We love these diapers. Super easy to use and great on both my toddler and newborn. Love the fun color! Also, though I always flush, they can also just be tossed in the garbage if you are not sure about your toilet. Since the inserts have zero plastic, they will stil biodegrade in under 150 days, not several hundred years like disposables.

Though they can be somewhat expensive, I have a great coupon for $30 off an Everyday G’s six pack (3 orange and 3 vanilla) So you get 6 covers for only $40, that is less than $7 a cover. Just use coupon code g1492Torres. You can’t go wrong!
