Product Review: gdiapers


After a lot of debating, I finally picked up the gdiapers Starter Kit. I like the idea that they are part disposable, part cloth diaper. I get to dispose of the yucky part and reuse the good part and I'm reducing the number of diapers in the landfill.

The Starter Kit contains: 2 cloth diapers, 4 plastic snap-in liners, 1 swish stick and 10 disposable pads.

The diapers are fairly simple to use. You insert the pad into the diaper and put on the baby. At changing time you put on a fresh gdiaper and take the other one into the bathroom. At this point you have two choices, throw it away or flush it. I flush it, even though this is the trickiest part. To flush, you have to tear down the sides and let the middle fall into the toilet. You then use the swish stick and break it up. Next, you drop in the outer covering and then flush. It might sound time consuming, but it only takes a minute or so.

After a week, I have concluded that I like them and will continue using them. They fit well and we haven't had any leaks. Of course, we only use them at bedtime right now. But that will change as I start to run low on my disposable diaper stockpile. Well, unless my 23 month old decides to potty train in the next 2 months.

I know, yeah right!

You can buy gdiapers from their website, Native Sun, Amazon, Drugstore.com or Ebay.
The Starter Kit runs between $26.99 and $29.99. The inserts run between $14.99 and $15.99.
