Product Reviews of gDiapers Little gPants 2-Pack Orange & Vanilla, Medium
Product Review: gDiapers- good and bad
Summary: 3 Stars
I am trying to be more 'green' these days so the gDiapers starter kit and refills seemed like a good place to start. I love that the cotton refills are completely biodegradable and the liners and pants can be used until my son outgrows them. One thing I've noticed is that I have to change the refills more often than regular disposables, it seems, or else we have leaks. The biggest downer in my mind is that when my 5 month old has a poop diaper (which is sometimes 3-4 times a day!) it pretty much goes everywhere- on the liner, on the pants, sometimes on his other clothes... so I feel like I'm changing diapers more and having more dirty laundry. Maybe that's just part of having a boy!Product Review: gDiapers-go green
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried the starter kit (meds) for my son a year ago and recently bought larges. These are really nice diapers and they dont leak (as long as you load the refill liners properly). I like that I can be "green" and still diaper my baby. These diapers arent really bulky either. My baby is a nursed baby (and their BMs are a bit looser) and I had no problems with leakage from BMs either. I like buying gDiapers from Amazon because a lot of the time they offer free shipping with $25.00 or more order versus paying shipping on the gdiaper site...I save a few bucks on here buying the same items.Product Review: god for travelling
Summary: 4 Stars
We use cloth diapers, but when we were planning a road trip, I needed something that was more portable (than carrying around dirty diapers in the trunk of the car). We only used these while we were on the road and they worked well, I didn't really swirl them as we were changing diapers in public restrooms, but they flushed fine, just from ripping them open and dumping them in the toilets. They're expensive, so we just save them for travelling purposes, but when you're in a crunch, they work well with a regular prefold stuffed in them too, plus they're really cute!Product Review: good but pricey
Summary: 4 Stars
We stumbled across these at a local discount warehouse for a really good price and bought the last three packages that were on the shelf. The refills are nice, but we mainly use the pants+liners with prefolded cloth diapers. The plastic liner holds the cloth in place and keeps wet diapers from leaking through to clothing. Ok at keeping poop in place too -- if you make sure to change it promptly!
Pros:
* "Earth friendly" compostable/flushable inners if you use them this way.
* Works great with prefolded cloth diapers too.
* Lasts (almost) long enough through frequent washing for your kid to grow out of them.
Cons:
* Expensive, especially if you plan to use the disposable refills. May be worth the investment for the savings in regular disposable diapers, especially if you have to pay per-bag for your trash.
* Velcro closures break down over time with frequent washing; we have six (?) pairs and after six months of near-daily washing the velcro is almost useless. When baby starts crawling the velcro needs to hold a little better. We won't be able to "hand them down" unless someone wants to stitch on new velcro pads.
Product Review: not absorbent enough and too expensive
Summary: 1 Stars
I have two complaints about these diapers:
1) they aren't absorbent enough. when my baby pees the insert gets soaked and bunches up immediately resulting in leaks and wetness next to his skin.
2) the inserts are very expensive, making them more expensive (and less absorbent) than commercial diapers.
You don't save any time with these, and you won't save any money, so if you're concerned about the environment and water's not an issue where you live get cloth diapers.
I'm using mine (since I already bought them) with cloth prefolds inside the plastic insert thing and they work all right that way.
