Amazon.com Product Description
A baby in disposable diapers puts an average of 6,000 diapers into the landfills by the time he or she is potty trained -- and those plastic-based diapers take about 500 years to decompose. What's an environmentally conscious parent to do? With gDiapers, you can have the convenience of disposable diapers and avoid doing damage to the planet. In fact, gDiapers even help the environment. Get started with this gDiapers Starter Kit, which can be used on babies 13 to 28 pounds in weight.  | 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
- Starter Kit that contains everything you need to begin using gDiapers
|  | |  |  Flushable, Decomposable Diapers
The gDiaper consists of a machine-washable, reusable cotton "little g pant" and a snap-in, reusable waterproof liner, which contains the diaper refill. These refills are decomposable. Containing no plastic products, 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
The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette, and it's available in several cool colors. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, the little g pant is 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. Get Started!
Everything you need to get started is included in the handy Starter Kit: two little g pants in trendy "Great Orange" and "Vanilla Bean" colors, suitable for boys or girls, each with two snap-in liners; 10 flushable diaper refills; a "swishstick" to aid with flushing; and a Handy User's Guide (H.U.G). The "Medium" Starter Kit is for babies 13 to 28 pounds in weight; small and large sizes also available, so you can start with gDiapers in any stage of your child's pre-potty-training life.  | Starter kits come in three sizes: |  |  |  |
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. | Stock up on flushable diaper refills: |  |

 not absorbent enough and too expensive November 21, 2008
I have two complaints about these diapers:
1) they aren't absorbent enough. when my baby pees the insert gets soaked and bunches up immediately resulting in leaks and wetness next to his skin.
2) the inserts are very expensive, making them more expensive (and less absorbent) than commercial diapers.
You don't save any time with these, and you won't save any money, so if you're concerned about the environment and water's not an issue where you live get cloth diapers.
I'm using mine (since I already bought them) with cloth prefolds inside the plastic insert thing and they work all right that way.
Marcy November 9, 2008
I really love these. Cloth wasn't really an option, so these feel like a great way to be a bit more green. Plus they're much cuter than disposables. =) The only times I've had issues with leaks were when I left them on too long and he soaked through the insert, otherwise they've been great. I do try to change them every 2 hours or so, as they're not quite as absorbent as disposables and so will feel damp on his skin when wet.
The biggest downside is that when your baby poops, you WILL get poop on the liner. At least in those first 6 months when the poop is super runny. That's a pain, but as long as you're careful you should be ok and be able to keep the outer pant clean. You will need to rinse out or wash the plastic liner. This becomes less of a problem when baby starts solids and the poop becomes firmer.
One of the things I like best is if you flush these, you don't have to worry about stinky poopy diapers sitting in your diaper pail for days till trash day. Just flush away! Sweet. Our current toilet doesn't quite do well with these so I'm wrapping the poopy diapers in a biodegradable plastic bag, and the wet ones go in our compost pile. BTW I do use regular disposables at night, so as not to have to worry about changing his diaper in the middle of the night.
 Bonus with Amazon October 27, 2008
I first saw these at Whole Foods, and decided to come read reviews before I purchased. I was impressed with the reviews, and decided to do as others recommended and buy starter kits due to the cost. I found they were a couple dollars cheaper at Whole Foods, but ordered 2 from Amazon as well. I was happy with the kit from Amazon, b/c it included 2 extra liners (plus no tax and free shipping)! If I decide I need more little g pants, I will just order more starter kits from Amazon.
I LOVE these diapers, and feel better about what I'm doing for the environment. My son's skin has never been so dry after taking off a wet diaper, and his skin is so healthy.
We try to flush all the diapers, but are going to get some biodegrateable bags for when we need to throw them away. As my husband pointed out, if you throw the diapers away, even though they break down, if they are in a plastic trash bag or Diaper Genie bag, they won't be able to break down.
Some people argue that flushing the gDiapers wastes water, but not any more water than if your baby were already using the toilet, and not as much water as washing cloth diapers. You can also time your diaper flushing to when Mom or Dad use the toilet to save on flushes. ;)
All in all, I'm very happy with gDiapers, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a earth-friendly, healthy baby alternative to regular disposables.
god for travelling October 24, 2008
We use cloth diapers, but when we were planning a road trip, I needed something that was more portable (than carrying around dirty diapers in the trunk of the car). We only used these while we were on the road and they worked well, I didn't really swirl them as we were changing diapers in public restrooms, but they flushed fine, just from ripping them open and dumping them in the toilets. They're expensive, so we just save them for travelling purposes, but when you're in a crunch, they work well with a regular prefold stuffed in them too, plus they're really cute!
Great for eczema October 20, 2008
I wanted to try these both because of the impact on the earth and to see if they would help with my son's eczema. You do have to pay attention to how wet they get because they will leak especially at night. Other than nap times, I had no issue with leaks. They were very helpful in clearing up my son's eczema and decreasing instances of diaper rash.
