Amazon.com Product Description A baby in disposable diapers puts an average of 6,000 diapers into the landfills by the time he or she is potty trained. Plastic-based diapers take about 500 years to decompose. What's an environmentally conscious parent to do? With gDiapers, you can have the convenience of disposable diapers and avoid doing damage to the planet. In fact, gDiapers even help the environment. Get started with this gDiapers Starter Kit which can be used on babies 8 to 14 pounds in weight.  | gDiapers offer: - Flushable, decomposable diapers for an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposables
- Breathable, non-plastic diapering system that's healthier for baby's skin
- Starter Kit that contains everything you need to begin using gDiapers
|  | |  | Flushable, Decomposable Diapers The gDiaper consists of a machine-washable, reusable cotton "little g pant" and a snap-in, reusable waterproof liner, which contains the diaper refill. These refills are decomposable. Containing no plastic products, 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 The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette, and it's available in several cool colors. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, the little g pant is 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. Get Started! Everything you need to get started is included in the handy Starter Kit: two little g pants in trendy "Great Orange" and "Vanilla Bean" colors, suitable for boys or girls, each with two snap-in liners; 10 flushable diaper refills; a "swishstick" to aid with flushing; and a Handy User's Guide (H.U.G). The "Small" Starter Kit is for babies 8 to 14 pounds in weight; larger sizes are available for bigger children, so you can start with gDiapers in any stage of your child's pre-potty-training life.  | Starter kits come in three sizes: |  |  |  | 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. | Stock up on flushable diaper refills: |  | What's in the Box Two pairs of small-sized 'little g' pants (Great Orange and Genuine Vanilla Bean), 10 flushable diaper refills, swishstick, and Handy User's Guide (H.U.G.). |

gdiapers September 23, 2008 Mommy of 3 (WV) I had seen these online and figured that since we are trying to go more green that we would give them a try. We have been really pleased. They are really simple to use and better yet NO MORE STINK in the house. The only thing is I wish they would come up with a flushable and biodegradable wipe. Because you can flush the gdiaper insert but then you are still left with a dirty wipe to throw away.
Still getting the fit down September 19, 2008 K. Daniels (Denver, CO US) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It takes some finesse to make a gDiaper fit well enough to stop leaks. As I get better at putting them on my baby, I'm getting fewer leaks. They don't do well with very messy diapers--some poop is bound to get on the cloth g pant about half of the time and the liners get poop residue on them at each pooping. I love that the inserts are flushable and plan to continue using them because of the environmental friendliness. These work much better than Tushies brand diapers and almost as well as Seventh Generation size 1 diapers. My biggest gripe is the fact that you have to buy the cloth pants AND inserts. The inserts are basically no more than a wide maxi pad and cost more than regular diapers. The whole set up turns into quite an expense. I have two starter kits and that is working ok for part-time use. I would get another kit for full-time use.
The Perfect Diapers September 16, 2008 Heather Wellenstein (Wichita, KS USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Love these!!! My mother discovered these while I was still awaiting the big day our little guy would make his entrance into the world. I am so glad she did! The liners can be tossed without fear of them lasting forever in a landfill if your plumbing is older like ours. And they have never leaked on our little man, while both the newborn diapers from huggies and pampers leaked every time! Just take the time to educate yourself on the product at thier website (only takes a few minutes)- they have tutorial videos which shows you every detail and all the tips and tricks for sucess with these awesome diapers. Happy diapering!
I love them and so will the environment!! September 11, 2008 A. Hall 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
So far these diapers have been working great for my 6 week old. I noticed a lot of people complained about clogged pipes. Just so its clear you can either flush these, compost them, or throw them away in the trash. You have your pick of what system works for you. I'm throwing mine in the trash they will completely breakdown in a landfill in less than a year as opposed to 500 years for a regular disposable diaper. So far no leaks, you have to make sure you get the fit right otherwise you will have leaks. Make sure to visit the manufacturers website they even have customer service you can call for help on getting the fit right over the phone.
Love gdiapers July 6, 2008 Wendi Hoffer (Minot, ND) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I love gdiapers. The only thing I have a problem with is that I did not know we had tree roots in our sewer system so we had a backup in our basement. We now use them only outside of the house and use cloth at home. We only have to wash the "gpant" every few uses but every time Ophelia poops we have to wash the liner. You can rinse it out and leave it so you can wash it when you get time and there is not a poop smell in the house.
