G diapers

Hambly

Hey mamas! I was hoping some of you had used G Diapers and could give me some feedback and opinions! Thanks!

Definitely my least favorite!  The taking care of the disposable/flushable insert is sooo much more gross than just changing a cloth diaper.  I also didn't like the looks of their cloth insert option when I had the luxury of seeing them in an actual cloth diaper store.  I do occasionally use the g diapers with a trifolded prefold though, and that is okay for laundry day.  I'd much rather use a Thirsties or Bummis with a prefold (a favorite combo!).

Awful. I used them for 3 months and they made me a complete convert to cloth! They leak and are wet to touch. Their cloth is flimsy. The elastic stretches out too fast. I could go on and on but my point is do your reasearch on them.

This is pretty much exactly my thoughts.  If you want to go this route I would do Flip covers with a gdiaper insert. The g diaper covers suck but the Flip inserts suck.  I would save your money and just get some BG 3.0s.  There isnt much bad you can say about those.

I haven't tried Flip disposable inserts, but the Gro-Baby disposable inserts are good also.

I recently found a website that sells G flappers - work-at-home-mom made inserts for G diapers.  I plan on trying them with my G diapers.  I don't love the disposable G diaper inserts, but I don't hate them either.  They don't hold very much, so you have ot change frequently....which can definitely get expensive with the disposable.  I'm interested to try the cloth inserts, but am a little wary of the G diaper inserts.  They just don't seem super absorbant.

Thanks gals! All the reviews Ive read were by people who hadnt been using them for very long and they just raved about them. Glad t hear from people who know what theyre talking about!

Are you looking to use them full time? We use them for travel & weekends at the beach. For that purpose they work great. THough if they had been around at the time, I'd probably prefer flip but since I have so many g's now. G it is for us. The gcloth is pretty weak but I got some good WAHM inserts called gflappers that are pretty good. 

THe velcro doesn't hold great. I'm looking into converting mine to snaps but haven't found a good way yet.

I will probably be the odd man out, but I absolutely love them. ?I use prefolds in them. ?The only other diaper I like to use is the Organic OS BG. ?I do have to change the entire diaper when DS poops are not plopable, but I would have to do that anyway so it doesn't bother me.
