gDiapers

Has anyone used these? Thoughts?

I want to start doing some cloth diapering part-time during the next year leading up to potty training and was just wondering about these.

If you have thoughts on other brands, I'd like to hear those too. I'm not looking to make a huge investment.

I have never used a hybrid diaper but I have heard more good things about the Flip system, than gDiapers. They are also one sized and you will only need to purchase once, whereas I *think* (but I could be mistaken) gDiapers are sized and you may have to purchase larger ones if she outgrows the current set before she is finished potty learning. You might find more info/reviews on the EFF or the Cloth Diapering board. GL

I used them as part of my son's newborn diapering but I was not impressed. The seem to be the same amount of work as cding. The mess is not confined to the insert so I found myself replacing the shell as well. They did come out with cloth liners so I am not sure if it got easier.

I have been cding my son for 2 years and what has been easiest for us has been using fitteds or pocket diapers. I won't rehash all of the info about these as if you visit The Eco Friendly Blog or the CDing board it is all posted there, but being flexible to trying out new styles has been very helpful.

 Some that I like are : BG 3.0/4.0 pockets, Blueberry pockets, Bububebe fitteds, Goodmama fitteds, Tiny Tush fitteds, Haute Pockets, Thisties for covers.

I decided to go with the bumGenius 4.0s. I don't know why I was thinking hybrids. I mean, d'uh, we'll just use disposables when we are out and about.

Ah, I thought you were looking into hybrids because of daycare. In some areas daycare will allow hybrids, but not other diapers, depending on the health department. I have some BG pockets and love them. Since you putting them on a toddler, may I just add that M takes off the ones with velcro/hook and loop in seconds but leaves the snaps alone (so far).

You might want to post on the Eco Friendly Family board.  I lurk there sometimes and the ladies there do not seem to like the gdiapers, but I haven't paid that much attention to the posts since i'm good with the pampers
