gDiapers Review

CONS

  • Slight learning curve

GDiapers are disposable, but unlike pampers or huggies, the wet used diapers can be composted, and the poopy diapers can be flushed down the toilet without clogging your toilet. You must throw them in the trash, they biodegrade in landfills.
The system is similar to a pocket diaper, but instead of a cotton insert it has a gRefill, which is an absorbant biodegradable pad that is inserted into the pocket, called gPants. The entire system is plastic-free, latex free, perfume free and elemental chlorine free. If you don't want to blow your diapering budget on gRefills, they also have a reusable cloth insert called gCloth.
For a little extra protection during the night, the system has extra inserts for doubling the absorption of the diaper.
For extra savings, we recommend that parents use the subscribe and save through Amazon. Amazon will automatically reship gRefills to whatever interval you want. As a bonus, you get free shipping, and an additional discount over the marked price. Some parents using this system can get the refills at 10 cents a diaper. Compared to pampers cruisers at 35 cents a diaper, parents can save over normal disposables by signing up with Amazon.

Bottom line
Although more expensive than a cloth system, you'll save money on electricity and water bills, and the extra convenience is nice. If you're looking for a bigger savings, we recommend a prefold and a cover. For extra convenience and price, gDiapers is definitely a great alternative to typical disposables.
