I ordered these diapers when I was pregnant since I wanted to be as organic and good to the enviroment as possible. When I first used them our son did a poopy right away in the diapers and the poop leaked out all over the diaper. It was pretty messy and I decided in all my newborn eshaustion and recouping from a very difficult birth to not continue using them. I probably would have given them another chance if I was feeling better but just couldn’t at the time. If you dont mind a bit of mess I would try them for the enviroment!

Please don’t get me wrong. I am all for preserving our diminishing environment but is it really worth the hassle of cleaning leaked diapers?
While gDiapers will surely depend on the baby, every time my boy poops (especially between 1-4 months), 90% of the time, his poop leaks out. I’m not a diaper newbie, either – I’ve been using Pampers Swaddlers when he was 0-1 months old with almost 0% failure/leakage rates. Perhaps it may be due to my boy’s powerful pooping abilities or the amount of sheer poop that comes out of the little guy (or a combination of both!), but I wouldn’t be surprised if other potential buyers suffer the same malady as I did because I just don’t think the diapers are well constructed.
First and foremost, typical (and environmentally not as good) diapers, such as Pampers, have elastic edges that conform to your baby’s butt to ensure the lowest chances of any leakage. These gDiapers have inner absorbent liners that have NO such edges. The plastic liner that you put the absorbent liners on does have an elastic band that makes a snug fit on your baby, but when poop gets into this plastic liner, you have to clean it! Most of the time, when poop makes its way to the plastic liner, it most likely already got to the cloth exterior, too. So what’s worse – a little diaper that ends up in the landfill, or using 10-20 gallons of water trying to clean the poop from the plastic and cloth liners each time they get sullied? Oh, and how about the half hour spent cleaning these things?
Stay away from gDiapers and stick with the commercial diapers. I love the gDiapers concept, but I think they have a little ways to go in terms of construction. The funny thing is that you probably WILL use those commercial diapers because if your child dirties the 2 or 4 gDiaper cloth exteriors you have, yet you didn’t have time to watch them yet, you’re going to go back to the big-name diapers!

You just gotta love these diapers. Easy to flush or toss and great for the environment too. I don’t have any issues with the diapers and they have yet to contribute to/cause diaper rash problems with my little one.

Between me and my husband, I have always been the more eco-conscious one and when it came to baby, I was definitely looking for better ways to lessen our waste with the new little one. I was drawn to cloth diapers, but my husband really wanted nothing to do with them. Admittedly, the idea of cloth had its drawbacks for me as well. When I discovered gDiapers, I thought it was a perfect compromise to the cloth vs disposable debate – I have my reusable cloth outers (which I was able to purchase used) and I can flush the liners. It’s a bit of an extra step while I’m changing baby, but I have started to just set the diapers aside until she’s asleep and I flush a bunch at one time. I have found our toilets will handle up to three liners at one time, as long as I really swish the inner lining well and wait until the end of the flush to release the outer lining.
The only reason I haven’t given a 5-star rating is because we have had a couple of leaks, but I feel that this is because baby is still just a little too small to fit into the small size. Once she gains another pound or two, she will have fewer gaps to leak from and I think I would be happy to give a higher rating. Note: there is a newborn size gDiaper available, but we opted just to go with the smalls for the limited amount of time that she would be too small to fit into them properly.

I love gdiapers! I feel good about being green, love the convenience of flushing the mess away, love the absence of diaper rash because these things breathe…I do have to change them a little more often than I did disposables or they leak, but that is probably a good thing…
