Customer Reviews of gDiapers Starter Kit, MediumCustomer Review: Uncomfortable Summary: 2 Stars
Pros:
- biodegradable - a good step in the right direction for the environment.
- Undeniably cute.
Cons:
-Sharp parts!!! The inner vinyl pushes into baby's legs/waist to create red marks. Likewise for the inner snaps.
-Scratchy velcro. If not lined up perfectly, velro will scratch baby.
-I experienced several leaks just during my few-day trial with this starter pack.
-I didn't save much on laundry because I still wanted to wash these diapers after most uses, but I guess you can hang dry them if there was only pee & re-use until soiled with a bowel movement.
Alternatives:
If you want a biodegrabable diaper, consider checking out "Nature babycare."
If you want a cloth diaper, there are many really easy options. Fuzzi bunz pocket diapers, or bum genius organic all-in-one cloth diapers. If you like the idea of being able to flush part of it, line your cloth with a biodegradable liner like kushies biodegradable diaper liner.
For the price, I thought it is worth trying it out. But ultimately, I decided to go all cloth because I was laundering these all the time anyway.
Description of gDiapers Starter Kit, MediumContains 2 'little g' pants, 10 plastic-free, flushable refills, a swishstick and a H.U.G (handy user's guide). NEW easy fit 'little g' pants are breathable, so babies are less likely to get diaper rash. Now in fun, NEW gender neutral colors (genuine vanilla bean and golden orange). Each 'little g' comes with 2 waterproof snap-in liners to reduce washing. A baby in disposable diapers puts an average of 6,000 diapers into the landfills by the time he or she is potty trained -- and those plastic-based diapers take about 500 years to decompose. What's an environmentally conscious parent to do? With gDiapers, you can have the convenience of disposable diapers and avoid doing damage to the planet. In fact, gDiapers even help the environment. Get started with this gDiapers Starter Kit, which can be used on babies 13 to 28 pounds in weight.  | gDiapers offer: - Flushable, decomposable diapers that offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposables
- Breathable, non-plastic diapering system that keeps baby's skin healthier
- Starter Kit that contains everything you need to begin using gDiapers
|  | |  | Flushable, Decomposable Diapers The gDiaper consists of a machine-washable, reusable cotton "little g pant" and a snap-in, reusable waterproof liner, which contains the diaper refill. These refills are decomposable. Containing no plastic products, they're made from sustainably farmed wood fluff pulp, sodium polyacrylate (SAP), which provides absorbency, and cellulose rayon. And they can be flushed down the toilet, which has a couple of wonderful benefits. First, it eliminates the need to keep smelly diapers around in a diaper pail. Second, it keeps unnecessary waste out of the landfills. And finally, the entire contents of the diaper gets processed by sewage treatment plants, which return treated, completely sanitized solids to be converted into valuable fertilizer. It's recycling at its best! If you're unable to flush the liners, they can still be thrown in the trash without guilt, since they will decompose in 50 to 150 days -- a much better turnaround than their plastic counterparts. And, if you're a gardener, you can simply throw the wet liners in your compost bin. (Note: for sanitary reasons, never put poopy diapers in the compost.) As Easy As Traditional Disposables -- but Healthier The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette, and it's available in several cool colors. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, the little g pant is just as easy to put on a baby as traditional disposable diapers -- no pins to deal with here. Plus, its breathable qualities help keep baby's skin healthier by minimizing diaper rash. Get Started! Everything you need to get started is included in the handy Starter Kit: two little g pants in trendy "Great Orange" and "Vanilla Bean" colors, suitable for boys or girls, each with two snap-in liners; 10 flushable diaper refills; a "swishstick" to aid with flushing; and a Handy User's Guide (H.U.G). The "Medium" Starter Kit is for babies 13 to 28 pounds in weight; small and large sizes also available, so you can start with gDiapers in any stage of your child's pre-potty-training life.  | Starter kits come in three sizes: |  |  |  | Tips for Successful gDiaper Use Some plumbing systems may have problems with the flushable liners, including systems with tree-infested pipes; non-standard plumbing systems, including grinders or house traps; and septic tanks, which require close monitoring to make sure the outflow is clear. It is recommended that only poopy diapers be put into septic systems, and wet ones be composted. But even if your plumbing system won't accept the gDiaper flushables, you can always simply throw them in the trash where they'll quickly decompose, making a much more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposable diapers. | Stock up on flushable diaper refills: |  | What's in the Box Two pairs of medium-sized 'little g' pants (Great Orange and Genuine Vanilla Bean), 10 flushable diaper refills, swishstick, and Handy User's Guide (H.U.G.). |
