Amazon.com Product Description
The gDiapers diapering system is an innovative, convenient, "green" alternative to traditional disposable diapers. They consist of a "little g" pants reusable, washable outer layer, which is fitted with the absorbent, fully decomposable refill. The gDiapers Flushable Refill pack for Small sizes includes 40 refills. They are for use with small-sized "little g" pants, which fit babies 8 to 14 pounds.

gDiapers offer: Flushable, decomposable diapers that offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposables Breathable, non-plastic diapering system that keeps baby's skin healthier Decomposable liners can be composted Flushable, Decomposable Diapers The gDiaper refills are completely decomposable. 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 To use the gDiaper refills, simply fit the disposable refill into the "little g" pant's washable liner. Once the diaper is soiled, simply remove the refill from the liner and flush it. The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, it's 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. 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.

Customer Reviews

Great concept!
I think that the little g diapers are a great breakthrough and good compromise for those who dislike disposable diapers for environmental and health concerns but aren't willing to use cloth diapers. I used them for a while with my infant and found them to be very comfortable for her and I never had any leaking issues. My only problem was the cost. They are significantly more expensive than disposables per diaper/flushable and if you are on a budget, which most families are, they aren't necessarily the best diaper for you. I hope that as they get more popular the price goes down because I would really like to use them more.

good product
these inserts are great. They are eco-friendly and not a real problem to flush. My reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that they really only last 2 hours (3 max) so they are not good for bedtime. But otherwise great!

Absolutely loving our Gdiapers!
My husband and I just started G-diapering our new baby two weeks ago, at 3 weeks of age. We absolutely love them to pieces. Everything about them so far has been great - fit, convenience, absorbency, looks, environmental impact, price.

Fit - These started fitting right at 8 pounds. He is now at 10 pounds and they are great.

Convenience - They are a bit more inconvenient than a disposable, this is true. But I still find them extremely convenient, even when out and about. In my diaper bag instead of disposables I have an extra pant/liner, a few inserts, and a plastic baggie. This is all I need to take care of flushing (or tossing) while out and about, and the baggie is where the cover/liner goes if it gets poopy. In fact the only place they are obviously more inconvenient than a disposable is at home, since I have to put my son down somewhere safe and take them to the bathroom.

Absorbency - My son doesn't seem to be too heavy of a wetter. They are great at containing urine and breastfed BMs. I have never had a pee leak. Occasionally the poop will get a bit on the outer cover which means the pant needs to be washed, but it has never gotten out on his clothing. We have 7 gpants which is more than enough to only need to wash every 3-4 days.

Looks - The pants are so adorable. They look like bottoms all on their own. They look great just with a t-shirt instead of the trashy look you have with a disposable diaper and no bottoms. I find myself deliberately dressing him in tees instead of onesies so that I can show off his adorable tush.

Price - They are a bit more than a disposable, but if you sign up for Amazon delivery, you get 15% off which makes them almost the same price.

Environmental impact - I am very impressed and pleased with these because I know the pee/poop is going exactly where it belongs and I'm not putting anything into a landfill. I'm not exactly a crunchy mama, but I have always been appalled at the idea of garbage in general, so the idea of disposables really turned my stomach. I am so pleased to have an option in between disposables and cloth.

Speaking of cloth, the gdiaper is an excellent gateway diaper to cloth, and in fact can be used with cloth. Shortly I will be using cloth in my gdiaper covers, as gdiaper has just released their gcloth line of inserts. Because of the awesome inner liner, there will be a very small item to wash and again the covers will only need to be washed every few days.

Overall I am thrilled with this product and would heartily recommend it to any and all.
