1. i had no idea what that was...so i googled it. that is the coolest diaper i've ever seen!!!! i'll be checking back to see if anyone has actually used them w/sucess. http://www.gdiapers.com/gdiapers101/watch-the-videos
2. I used and I hated it.......... they are so cute yes that´s right but they leak a lot and you waist a lot of soap and money in laundry..... stay with regular diapers........
3. What is a G Diaper?
4. I hadn't heard of them either, thank you for introducing me to them, they are neat!
5. I just looked at it... the little refills cost twice as much as the diapers I use. I buy 80 diapers at Target for $12. So let's help the environment and go broke while doing it LOL. Seriously though... maybe they would be good with cloth inserts that you could just wash... that would be the most economical thing to do.
6. G diapers are a great concept. I bought some for my first son and i loved the idea of flushable inserts that are biodegradable, but if you don't change them often enough they leak out the sides. Also they are pricey and i can only find them online or at whole foods market. I quit using them. Try some cloth diapers, they make ones with snaps and Velcro and washable inserts that work great and are environmentally friendly.
7. Never heard of them but luvs are the best and they don't cost that much 16.00 from target. take a look if u go to the store
8. I've never used them myself but you can ask about them on the forums and http://www.diaperswappers.com.
9. We use G Diapers, more or less and we will not go back to conventional disposable. The thought of using those on a regular basis disgusts me. I used to find the little gel bits on my daughter and thought of where they COULD wind up and got disgusted and worried. Also, the thought of those things sitting in a landfill for all eternity and leeching chemicals and stuff into the soil and water also disgusted me. I couldn't fathom spending the next two years buying trash. I didn't think that would send a good message to our daughter. We used to just use the G Diaper liners when we went out, so we wouldn't have to deal with taking home cloth. We would also use them at night since they seemed to work better. However, we don't do that any more because it costs more money. We have five Kushies all in ones that we use at night. We found them on Craigs List. We started with two starter kits and have four outsides. From the start, we had used the old fashioned pre fold diapers with the G Diaper outsides. We got 20 of them from my mother, who found them left behind in the rental houses and storage garages she manages and maybe from yard sales and from a shower gift that has pretty ribbons sewn on the seams and were intended for burp cloths. We use rags for that. We also bought about three packages as well, most of which came from Babies "R" Us gift cards we've received. We fold them into the rectangle and then fold and end under and put it in the front of the diaper. We put the cloth diaper inside the G Diaper outsides. We did have about 42 insides, but we bought another pack last night since our eight month old daughter has been going through them more quickly. We will take the cloth liners when we go out and just stick the used ones in a plastic grocery bag (we have reusable bags for groceries, but we still seem to get plastic ones) and stick the bag in the diaper bag.This has become such a habit that we even did it when we went to a conference last Friday and Saturday. We took most of the cloth liners and only had to use a few of the G Liners. Even though we had some all-in-ones at home, still, my husband stayed up on Saturday night and did laundry. I pulled them out Sunday morning when I got up and put them away. For us it's worth it since we think it's much more environmentally friendly than disposables and they can definitely be used for any subsequent children we might have. The price of the G insides might be worth the money, as they are comparable to Pampers and Huggies, I guess, but we wanted to do things as cheaply as possible. I hope this has been of some help. PS: The edges do get damp or even saturated on occasion. We just take it and set it aside and get a dry outside. When the wet one dries, we use it again. We do try and wash them as much as possible and we do have some disposables that we use when it happens. However, we very rarely use the disposables. It works. Also, my husband will often do the laundry at night so we don't have to worry about using too many diapers while laundry is being done (especially if we're almost out) and if we do have to use a disposable, we only have to use one or two.
