G Diapers

[sandiegokristi]

Has anyone seen these before or know of anyone who has used these diapers? What are your opinions on these diapers?

We use them on travel days and camping trips. Love them. The covers don't last through big poops, though (comes over the sides of the inserts, but not actually out of the covers)...so you definitely need extra covers and plastic liners if you're going to use them regularly.

We compost the wet ones and flush the poopy ones.

There was a thread about them a while ago but it might have been in another DDC...

I am not impressed w the system. I think it's expesive and in the end more complicated than just using regular CDs. Just my .02

The diapering board had a big discussion on it. It seems that the consensus is that some septic systems can't handle it... I think we may try them at the beginning (we were going to do disposables) because just tossing the liners can't be as bad as tossing a whole diaper and our septic could not handle flushing the liners...

Yeah...they are definitely not as cheap as cloth. That's why we only use them for travel. We buy the inserts in bulk, thru our co-op. I feel like a cool, green mama when I use them, though!

I was interested when I heard about them...it seems like a good idea. But I read a lot of reviews and was scared off. :

I have used G Diapers. The flushable liners are kind of a pain in the rear. I can't imagine using those full time. I did use infant prefolds in the large size G covers with the plastic liner snapped in. It was awesome. Pretty trim, super cute, and no leaks at all!

Kristi, I am assuming you have the same types of low flow toilets we have up North (I guess it's a Cali thing) and I am not sure the toilet can handle the diaps.

I've also heard they're complicated, etc.. But perhaps worth a try???

I was wondering this too because we are planning on cloth diapering but we are going to Florida in the early spring to visit the inlaws (yuck, why can't I ever have a vacation that doesn't involve visiting relatives?). I though they might be cool for the week or so we will be there. I'll have to stay posted.

I really like them for travel...:

I really break them up well when flushing and also don't feel guilty about throwing a few away now and then.

Oh...and visiting family is NOT vacation! It can be a wonderful visit...but, never a "vacation."
