gDiapers and more

I have just started looking into cloth diapers and I had no idea there were so many different kinds!!

What do you ladies use?

Have you had any experience with gDiapers?

Thanks so much for any insight!

  • We plan on using prefolds and covers and then moving on to AOIs and pockets. I have heard VERY few good things about Gdiapers.

    My mom loves our gDiapers.  They are not as fluffy as other diapers, I think.  But she likes them because they have the liner and you can reuse them instead of washing so many.  Not that she does the washing.  I think the biodegradable inserts fit/work better than the cloth inserts, but they are ok. 

    I got 6 pair plus 4 packs of the biodegradable inserts on Diapers.com for $89.99, and I got an additional 15% off with a new customer coupon code.  (I have referral codes for $10 off too, if you are a new customer).  They also have the cloth inserts, but they are regular price.  Just the pants are $59.99.

  • I'm all about variety...so I have a mixture of pretty much everything.  Fitteds with covers, pockets, all in ones/all in twos.  I'd lurk a lot and look back through the posts...there are tons of CD posts everyday with lots of helpful info.  Also check out the EFF blog....it's a good place to start.

    As for gDiapers, they aren't well liked around here.  I've never used them so I have no personal advice to add.

  • Generally, I haven't heard many positives about G-diapers but I liked the idea of them. I am using FLIPS and GroBaby/GroVIa, both systems are similar to G-diapers in that they have a reusable cover, inserts/soakers, and a disposable option.  Like G-diapers, they are considered a Hybrid option or an AI2.  SO far, I would say that GroVia/GroBaby are a bit easier but the FLIPS aren't hard. I prefer the GroBaby covers I think, they are a bit more substantial. My DH can do the GroBaby ones but is a little afraid of the FLIPS.   The GroBaby Soakers/inserts take much longer to dry than the FLIPS, which could be a problem if your stash was limited. 

    I don't have FLIP disposable options but do have the GroBaby ones and they are  a nice option.

     

  • We use gdiapers with gcloth exclusively (haven't tried the disposable inserts yet) and we love them.  We've never had a leak and I love that they are trim and come in sizes.
