OK here is my problem: I am wanting to be more earth-friendly and am wanting to try G diapers. Has any one tried them, use them now, or heard anything about them?? I am on a budget and would like to use the money that we use for diapers to good use( in more ways then one My daughter is going to be one on the 23rd of May and right now she is using Luvs diapers and will be in size 4 very soon. Please help and give me any information you guys can. Any and all help will be welcome. Thank again!!!

I've never heard of G diapers. Are those a brand of cloth? We use pampers now but my little one has started potty training so I'm hoping to be done with those by the time #4 gets here in August and I was thinking of switching to cloth for her to be more earth-friendly. So I'm hoping someone here can give you some good advice since I want to know also!

G Diapers are the newest development in environmentally friendly diapers. While they're not quite cloth diapers, they're not quite disposable diapers either.

G Diapers are similar to cloth diapers because they are a diapering system. The diapering system consists of a flushable pad and a pair of "little g" pants. The flushable pad fits right into the snap in liner of the "little g" pants. The "little g" pants are 100% water resistant, very breathable, and absolutely adorable. Unlike cloth diapers, G Diapers require no laundry, diaper pail, or folding diapers.

You don't throw them in the trash, just flush them.

I simply don't like this idea. I'm a mama of all cloth. So I don't have any suggestions or tips on these diapers as they would not be a diaper I'd try out in my home. Each family is different. I hope a mama here has some better tips on these diapers. Sorry!!

I can say that buying my diaper stash cost me $300-$450 and that was covers, liners and all the sorts of mixed diaper styles and kinds. Mine were purchased used..Only 15 diapers were new when I purchased them. Buy used and clearance or on sale diapers and you will make that diaper budget stretch and you'll have plenty of diapers. I have enough diapers right now to diaper 3 babies a day Yup I went a lil over board, but I bargained. I also have the advantage that I sew my own diapers, liners and covers too

I use and love g diapers. My only problem is that they are soo pricey. They are better for the environment than either cloth or disposable.

Thanks for your description of the G diapers Southernmama!

How are they better for the environment than cloth? I don't understand that if they are flushed? I'm going to have to research this!

Well I just joined and read your post so I might be a little late with this but here it goes. G diapers are ok but they still get pricey since you still have to buy inserts and only get 1 cover. What happens when baby has a blow out diaper? I personally use and love fuzzi bunz and happy heineys. I prefer fb since they have snaps instead of velcro. Fuzzi bunz are pocket diapers that require an insert but easy to use and care for. My dd is 5 months old, I have approximately 30 diapers and only have to do a load of diapers about every 5 days or so. They are super easy to wash. I agree there is a huge start out fee but you can usually find people selling their out grown ones pretty reasonably. I have been using the same diapers from when she came home and she still has room to grow. Hope this helps.
