Gdiapers...

Mrs.Hooper

I was looking into doing cloth diapers and really liked the gdiapers( I would use a pre fold or reusable insert) and wondering how they rated?

They do look cute.  I was pondering them with re-usable inserts myself.

I have two pairs of gdiaper covers that I use with prefolds as inserts. They are the last ones I reach for. They don't do a good job of catching BF baby poo so the liner almost always gets dirty which means I'm constantly washing them. I think you're better off using a better cover with prefolds - like Thirsties Duos.

Thirsties covers are awesome.  They hold even the nastiest poop expolsion in!

I have two shells for my dd (2.5) and they are also the last I reach for.  My husband suggested putting them away for times we absolutely needed the disposable inserts (which I have a whole bag of).

They get washed about once a week and I've had them since July.  They already look pilly and old.   The laundry tabs never stay, so I wash them in a lingerie bag to minimize harm to other diapers.

Overall, I don't love the fit, they look like baggy panties to me.  DD's genital area is still more or less covered in plastic so I don't think they breathe well. I use eco-nappi's as inserts and that seems to work well.  

 They are functional and I rarely have leaks, but they definitely aren't my favorite.  If you are looking for something with a hybrid option, I like Grobaby's much more.  Same kind of idea, better diaper.
