gDiapers ~ earth friendly diapers
6 May
I’ve been reading through the book “Cradle to Cradle†lately…it’s a really eye opening book that everyone should read. It makes you look at everything you do and use in a completely different way. A few days ago I had come across a blog post by a mother that was interested in being more eco-friendly. She was having trouble with this because the financial aspects of being eco-friendly are difficult for her. In particular she was discussing diapers. Before now there have really been just two options; cloth and disposable. She knows there are disadvantages and advantages to both of these options, but she was settling on disposables simply because of the cheap cost. I decided to look around a little and see if there was something new that was not only eco-friendly, but also cost effective. And to my surprises there is!
gDiapers is a flushable diaper system that is good for babies, parents and the planet. gDiapers have no elemental chlorine, no perfumes, no smell, no garbage and no guilt. gDiaper flushable with super absorber keep bottoms feeling dry. Washable ‘little g’ pants, with snap in liners, are made of water resistant breathable material to keep wetness away. Best of all gDiapers are Cradle to Cradle certified. I’m only ¾ of the way through this book and I can tell this is not an easy certification to get. gDiapers may be slightly more expensive than disposables, but when you look at the overall picture you’re much better off (for you, baby and the earth) to go with gDiapers. Starter kits contain 2 washable pants, 10 flushables, and 1 swishstick for $24.99. Refill packs are $13.99 and contain 40 small flushables or 32 medium/large flushables. Check out the video below and see how the gDiaper flushable becomes one with the earth again compared to other plastic disposables.

I hated using diapers that I knew were bad for the planet, but I just didn’t have the time, patience, and dedication needed for cloth diapers.
If there had been something like this out, I would have definitely given it consideration! Should I decide to have another child, this will be the route I take!

i have been using gdiapers since 2005 when i first found them on the yeah baby expo list of exhibitors. although they ended up not showing, i looked them up online and fell inlove. i have been using them ever since, now with baby #2 at 10months old. they are super easy to use and once you figure out the fit for your baby and where they leak, you can easily adjust for the perfect fit. i love it because i can flush the poops down the toilet and use the peeps either in the garden or throw away. our toilet cannot handle flushing all the diapers it gets too clogged but one can feel good that they biodegrade in 50-150 days. the cost if very comparable to using huggies or other expensive brand diapers, and with no guilt.
plus now they have made gcloth, hemp cloth inserts that are taylor for the perfect fit in the g cover so one can use the flushables while out and cloth at home with the convience of both.
right now they are also having a promotion using us gmums and gdads to spread the word. one can get a 6pack of gcovers 3 orange and 3 vanilla bean for $40 with a gmum coupon code. if we get enough people to use them we get a gift certificate and help really spread the word. my code is g727mawson and will be grateful if people even just take the time to look at gdiapers.com and see whats going on.
again, these are very easy diapers to get used to, just have to get over the initial hurdle of swishing and flushing and finding the perfect fit. but it is well worth the time and the investment!!
