G Baby Diapers

Hi K. -
I have had a lot of experience with G-Diapers and have to say after several attempts and really, really, really wanting them to be successful - I had to give them up and I do not recommend the investment. First of all they leak to the point where clothes just get ruined. I think I wasted more water rinsing out and no longer was being very green at that point. You definitely cannot flush them as they clog the system which was not a big deal to me as I was ok wrapping them and throwing them in the diaper genie.
Also I spent countless hours on the phone with their Marketing Director as they introduced an upgrade and the diapers and the liners where no longer compatible so I had to stop using original liners and buy all new. It is a huge expense that seems to grow and grow.
Lastly - I bought them at Whole Foods and I would take special trips to buy them during my lunch hour and 75% of the time they were out of my size so I would come home empty handed. I bought online to avoid wasted trips but was expensive. I found that Whole Foods had regular sales on them and preferred to buy them there.

I'm not a fan of the g baby diapers. The aborbancy wasn't good, and they almost disintegrate when wet. I have been using cloth diapers, and find that the Bum Genius are easy, efficiently absorbant, easy to wash and as kind to the environment as you can get. I also use the old fashioned unbleached cotton diapers with a cover...they're very cute..and no pins and no leakage. I bought mine from Kate at Little Granolas. The cost factor was a big part of my decision. The differene in cost is about $2500.00 for two years of diapering ($3000 for disposable vs. $400-$500 for cloth)..and they are reusable for the next child.....and I needed a new family room set, so it was a no brainer to decide which way to go.

Hi K.! My name is K. and I happen to sell cloth diapers. I know you probably want to cringe at the sound of it, but they've really made using them as easy as possible and they end up being much cheaper. I would be happy to talk to you if you're interested. You can email me at ____@____.com. Whatever you decide, Good Luck!

I love them, but use them with a different insert, as I think theirs are awful! I use an old-fashioned cloth diaper as an insert, then put a 4x9 piece of polar fleece fabric on top. The fleece contains poop, as poop rolls right of it into the toilet, and the pee is contained in the cloth diaper. Good luck!

In my experience (with a newborn) the g diapers leaked and did not contain poop as well as disposables did. But we ended up switching to cloth diapers too (though not until my son was 5 months old). I have mostly used Bum Genius but recently got some Blueberry diapers (with snaps) and like them even better. There are lots of websites to help you learn about cloth diapers, but it's best if you can find a store near you that sells some -- seeing the different types in person helped me understand the differences better than trying to figure it out online. Good luck and thanks for thinking about the environment!

The great part is that they have no plastic, and like the early disposable diapers, they are biodegradeable. Unfortunately, like the early disposables, they are biodegradeable! That means they are mean to be wet once, the next time they are wet, they start to break down, so you really do need to be on top of the diaper changes. You still have to buy diapers every week and still have to invest in the covers like cloth.
