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.

5 out of 5 stars Good tool to have in the arsenal of being greener...   August 12, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

When I was pregnant I had planned on using cloth diapers. But my guy was so little, and my cloth diapers so big, that I was using disposables, which made me cringe. Then I discovered gDiapers. Best of bost worlds! The impact on water usage to clean these is minimal, nothing compared to bulky cloth diapers (CLEANING TIP: Soak with "Oxy" bleach to remove stains - chlorine bleach will ruin the liners); the inserts are biodegradable, which ROCKS; and I add the wet ones to my compost! How cool is that?! (No poop in the compost, please!)

And yes, little ones' bums look SOOOO cute walking around in these... People will notice and stop to ask about the diaper...

We use Seventh Generation disposables at night. I guess my guy pees a lot, because gDiapers just don't do it, even doubled up... We also use Seventh Gen at daycare - I was afraid the liners would get tossed, and there is that learning curve to get the right fit... (FIT TIP: Once the diaper is on, make sure a) the liner is not tucked into the waistband and b) the insert is all the way into the corners - especially in the front if you have a boy!)

Life with a baby is a balancing act of green v. practical. gDiapers are a good tool to have in the arsenal of being greener...



5 out of 5 stars Good for the planet. Great alternative to disposables!   August 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am a recent convert from disposables to the gdiapers, and I love them! I currently use these flushables in my gdiapers, and I compost the pee ones and flush the poop ones (you can also just throw them away). There is a bit of a learning curve to these when you are used to disposables, but since I joined the gdiaper yahoo forum [...] and watched the videos on [...], I've had very few problems with leaks. Any problems are user error, and easily corrected with the proper fitting. Actually, since I've used them, I've had no poop explosions onto my daughters clothes like with disposables, and the only leaks were a little pee on the diaper cover. MUCH better than when I used disposables! Plus, this is a nice transition to cloth since the gdiaper covers can be used with cloth inserts as well. So many options, and you don't have millions of diapers sitting in a landfill for 500 years!

Very absorbent and you can double them up for nightime wear. I don't recommend flushing them but since they are biodegradable you don't have to worry about throwing them out like plastic diapers. The more people that use these the more the price will come down.


5 out of 5 stars Best of Both Diapering Worlds - Disposable & Cloth   July 2, 2008
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

We have been using gDiapers for our 7.5 month old little girl since she was under a month old. Yes, there was a learning curve but once we became adapt at using the gDipes, it's been smooth sailing with minimal leaks even when she has blowouts, and no clogged toilets.

We have more than the recommended number of gPants, per the gDiapers website and as such, always have a stack readily stuffed by her changing table. We like having the convenience of a disposable with the flushable. If we are unable to flush it, we can toss it and know that it will degrade unlike regular plastic disposable/chlorine-free diapers - we also compost her wet flushables. We do flush the poopy flushables and know of parents with septics tanks that also flush these.

The cotton pants are just so adorable and you can get more colors and now, new designs directly from gDiapers.com.

I will advise any parent that wants to give this a shot, to join the gDiaper yahoo group. There are tons of parents there and loads of advice and also used gPants for sale - another level of recycling !

The Subscribe and Save via Amazon for the Flushables is the cheapest I have come across - even cheaper than getting them from a store and the convenience of auto shopping is priceless !



5 out of 5 stars g's are wonderful no diaper rash!! not that much more$$   July 28, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We use gDiapers, we love them! We have never had diaper rash, except the few times we have run out of inserts and have resorted to disposables--in one night we had a rash beginning with 'sposies! There is a learning curve to avoid leaks, but leaks and blow outs happen in disposables as well! Cutest diaper I have ever seen! Some cloth diapers are cute too, but these are my favorite!
In regards to the previous reviewer's comments on price, while they are more expensive than other disposables it's not that much. I did the math, according to Amazon's prices at the time of writing this, g's (med/lg) cost 36c per insert (if you 'subscribe and save', case of 128), Seventh Generation's are 35c per diaper(case of 120 stage 3), pampers cruisers are 25c per diaper (case of 160 size 3). SO...if you are using seventh gen, i guess the price really isn't an issue anymore now that Amazon has g's with subscribe and save savings!
At 10cents per diaper at the *average* 6 diaper changes per day for 30 days, that is only $18 a month...i will skip out on ordering pizza Once a Month in order to pay for our g's and feel good knowing Poop from our daughter is not heading into the landfill to pollute the groundwater. Icky! And come to think of it, I would probably be paying a good deal of that extra cash to treat her diaper rash every day if we were in disposables... guess I'll order that pizza anyway!
Way cuter than sposies and not that much more $ day to day!
