G Diapers
Okay, seriously, I’m so excited about this diaper I could pee my pants! (Excuse the pun!) It’s not a cloth diaper, so no really messy cleanup, but there is no plastic so it’s biodegradable. You can flush the disposable liner or toss it in the can. You can even use it as compost! As a gardener that’s just an added bonus.
Check this out when put up against the leading disposable diapers that have plastic in them.
You have a reusable outer “Little g pants”, an inner liner that is machine or hand washable, and then the flushable diaper refills. It seems really easy to use. A little more work than the common disposable diapers, but much better for the environment, so worth it in my opinion. Check out these videos on using and disposing the G Diapers.
These Diapers are slightly more expensive than the name band disposable diapers, but again you’re saving the environment and your trash can liners. Not to mention you could save a buck on fertilizer if your a gardener. It’s about $27 for a starter kit, which includes two little g pants, and ten flushable refills. The refills, run $15 for a single package, and $52 for a case. The number of refills are comparable to the number of diapers in a package of disposable diapers. The little g pants are supper cute, and come in a variety of colors. They run around $17 for solid colors, and $19 for designs. You can find them in specialty stores, or order them through their website.
Being a tree hugging mom, I’m already sold on these diapers! For more info be sure to check out their site!

Those look like a good solution part way between inconvenient cloth diapers and convenient, but indestructible plastic diapers. Are you giving them a test run?

As soon as I get my hands on them! The only place they sell them around here is at Raisin Rack. A bit far away unless we have some other things to do in that area. I can’t wait to try them though.

The Bumkins waterproof diaper cover works so well with the gDiaper. It is a perfect fit and the cover washes easily.
