Amazon.com Product Description
A baby in disposable diapers puts an average of 6,000 diapers into the landfills by the time he or she is potty trained. 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 8 to 14 pounds in weight.  | gDiapers offer: - Flushable, decomposable diapers for an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposables
- Breathable, non-plastic diapering system that's healthier for baby's skin
- 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 "Small" Starter Kit is for babies 8 to 14 pounds in weight; larger sizes are available for bigger children, 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 small-sized 'little g' pants (Great Orange and Genuine Vanilla Bean), 10 flushable diaper refills, swishstick, and Handy User's Guide (H.U.G.). |

 Love gdiapers July 6, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I love gdiapers. The only thing I have a problem with is that I did not know we had tree roots in our sewer system so we had a backup in our basement. We now use them only outside of the house and use cloth at home. We only have to wash the "gpant" every few uses but every time Ophelia poops we have to wash the liner. You can rinse it out and leave it so you can wash it when you get time and there is not a poop smell in the house.

I was so excited to hear about this hybrid cloth/paper diaper, but it was a big disappointment. They weren't that easy to use. They leaked and our pipes slowed down considerably when we flushed them. Also we had to wash the outer layer often... so we might as well be using cloth. Now, we've switched to partial fuzzibuzz (after she has done her morning poop) and partial seventh generation... our own hybrid. It works better for us.

I agree with the previous post. I originally bought these as my back up for cloth to have a "disposable" option. I soon found that stuffing these with a cloth diaper works great. They seem less bulky than some of the pocket cloth diapers I have used and so cute! I just fold a prefold in thirds and stuff it in. I'm sold.

I don't know really why these diapers don't work for us. Perhaps it has something to do with my son's gassiness and the force of his stooling. You just can't predict how your baby's digestion will work.
Anyway, this system NEVER contained my son's stools. EVER. It was an absolute mess every time. As I do not have a w/d in my apartment, the cost of these diapers rapidly spiraled out of control, taking into account all the washing of clothes and g-pants. My building is older, and the inserts never flushed properly. (YES, I followed all the instructions.)
Boo. These are awful, and I can't even get refunds. I use Pampers Swaddlers, and although they aren't green, at least I'm not using so much water and SWADDLERS CONTAIN THE STOOLS.

g diapers are a perfect marriage between cloth and disposable. we use them as our primary diapers now and they are absolutely as easy as regular disposables once you get the hang of swishing, flushing &/or composting. these are great diapers and they are super cute and not too bulky unlike many cloth diapers.
