Product Reviews of gDiapers Little gPants 2-Pack Orange & Vanilla, Small
Product Review: Not too shabby
Summary: 4 Stars
I used these with my prefold diapers (tri-folded them) and they do not leak, even through the night. The disposable inserts absorb an amazing amount of urine. My biggest complaint is that poop almost always gets on the inner liner. I also had a little trouble with leaks when my baby was a little too small for them, but once she grew into them they worked fine.Product Review: Still getting the fit down
Summary: 3 Stars
It takes some finesse to make a gDiaper fit well enough to stop leaks. As I get better at putting them on my baby, I'm getting fewer leaks. They don't do well with very messy diapers--some poop is bound to get on the cloth g pant about half of the time and the liners get poop residue on them at each pooping. I love that the inserts are flushable and plan to continue using them because of the environmental friendliness. These work much better than Tushies brand diapers and almost as well as Seventh Generation size 1 diapers. My biggest gripe is the fact that you have to buy the cloth pants AND inserts. The inserts are basically no more than a wide maxi pad and cost more than regular diapers. The whole set up turns into quite an expense. I have two starter kits and that is working ok for part-time use. I would get another kit for full-time use.Product Review: The Gateway Diaper
Summary: 3 Stars
I, like most people, initially purchased this kit convincing myself that this was the green alternative to disposable diapers. And I totally understand the concept and applaud the company for presenting an alternative, or an in-between to the disposable vs. cloth diaper world. My newborn baby boy wore these about 4 times using the flushable inserts and they, more or less, did the job, but some leakage and a little poop did manage to escape the waterproof liner 2 out of the 4 times. But while experimenting with the G Diaper and researching G Diaper fixes on the web, I stumbled into the world of cloth diapers, which has a huge support group and presence online. Within days I found custom reusable inserts for the G Diaper, which unfortunately, I also experienced some leaking with. The leakage seems to be due to the size of g Diaper's waterproof liner, which doesn't offer enough coverage around my baby's bottom. I've since then, have converted full time, to cloth diapers, with the occasional biodegradable disposable diaper for road trips. I'm happy to say that cloth diapers are SO easy to use, I only wish more parents would make the extra effort to do the same. But, I do owe many thanks to the g Diaper, which for me, turned out to be the gateway diaper.Product Review: The Perfect Diapers
Summary: 5 Stars
Love these!!! My mother discovered these while I was still awaiting the big day our little guy would make his entrance into the world. I am so glad she did! The liners can be tossed without fear of them lasting forever in a landfill if your plumbing is older like ours. And they have never leaked on our little man, while both the newborn diapers from huggies and pampers leaked every time! Just take the time to educate yourself on the product at thier website (only takes a few minutes)- they have tutorial videos which shows you every detail and all the tips and tricks for sucess with these awesome diapers. Happy diapering!Product Review: The Refills are WAY too expensive
Summary: 2 Stars
I really like the idea of this product and I bought the starter kit, but to me it doesn't matter how well it performs because it is considerably more expensive than any other option. For me to choose a product that requires more care and work on my part, I need to be saving some money as well and that isn't the case here. The refills for this are 32 cents each when a premium disposable diaper is only 25 cents each. I'm all for being environmental, but paying 25% more than disposables is crazy to me. When you factor that out over how long your baby will be in diapers it isn't small change. If you assume you are using 10 diapers a day it will cost $1,168 dollars a year which is $254 more than if you had used disposables and way more than washable cloth diapers. I'd rather go with a product that I have to wash and may have a higher initial cost, but is cheaper over the long haul. I just can't see how it costs them that much to make the refills. As a comparison, to buy 24 premium, one-size, fitted cloth diapers from a competing well reviewed product costs $430 which they claim will last for several years. Factor in cost of detergent and water for washing and you still aren't anywhere near the cost of this product or disposables and that doesn't even take into consideration the cost of the actual gdiapers and the fact that you have to buy multiple sizes. This review isn't meant to steer you to another brand, but to point out that the cost here is way out of line. Doing the right thing shouldn't require a second mortgage. I have no idea what their manufacturing cost is, but for me to consider this product, they would have to get the refills down to around 10 to 15 cents each which seems reasonable when you think about what you are actually getting.
