G Diapers offer alternative to cloth and disposables
We've used cloth diapers since my son was about a month old. There
were a few weeks in the beginning that his small size and our sleep-deprived brains led us to worship the geniuses who
created Pampers Swaddlers (and our hospital for sending us home with a whole pack). Since then we've invested our money
in diaper wraps and a cloth diaper service. We're in too deep to go back, but if we were to leave the cloth diapering
way of life, G Diapers would be next on my list.
G Diapers are diapers with a flushable inside, and a cloth outside. The system involves outer shell, similar to a diaper wrap, an absorbent flushable insert, and a nylon snap-in liner. The whole ensemble comes with a "swishstick" for breaking up the disposable insert in the toilet. If you can deal with handling the pouch that absorbs the baby waste (you have to tear it open before it goes in the toilet), you'll have the benefit of not having a smelly diaper pail or smelly garbage sitting around. The site does have a warning, however: "Do not flush down non-standard, tree infested, or faulting plumbing toilets." A starter kit (2 pants, 10 flushables) runs $24.99. If any of you have ever used this system, I'd love to hear how it worked for you.

Kelley said...Just wondering if you have ever tried cloth pocket diapers? They are very similar (water proof outter layer, fleece inner layer that only touches baby.. mmmm soft!) but all you do is put in inserts, snap on the diaper and voila! They are MUCH cheaper. You can get 2 brand new diapers for about 30.00 ( http://www.fuzzibunz.com http://snap-EZ.com ) that includes inserts you will not have to buy again and again! You can also get them used on eBay and other resources (if you don't mind) even cheaper or use the prefolds from your diaper service as an insert! Just thought I would offer another opinion! OH, and on the Fuzzi Bunz, just turn the diaper upside down and the inserts just fall out! No getting your hands dirty! And as long as I wash diapers every day or every other day, My pail doesn't stink! I have to do regular laundry anyway, you know! ;) HTH! And hope you find a diapering system you like much better! Good luck!

Kim Graham-Nye said...My name is Kim Graham-Nye and my husband and I started using this product in Australia 3 years ago. We loved it so much that we bought the rights to it and moved to America to launch the brand gDiapers. We fell in love with flushing because it offered us an environmentally friendly, convienient and highly absorbant diaper option. We appreciate gDiapers aren't for everyone, but beleive it not the flushing is actually incredibly easy (even our American test groups agreed!). You do, however, have to wash out the liners or the entire pants every once in a while when blow outs occur...and for many parents, it is this step that they would rather avoid. But trust me when I say that cloth users will find this a peice of cake! We launch gDiapers in October but if anyone has any question, please feel free to email me at kim@gdiapers.com - Jason and I love talking diapers!
