hi ladies
a good friend of mine is pregnant & wants to use gdiapers. she asked if i knew anything about them & i'd never heard of them..i use disposables
i'd love to help her research them though (our 2nd is 2 months old so i'm actually thinking of looking into these if they're as good as they sound)
here's the link she sent me
https://www.gdiapers.com/environmentally-friendly-diapers/gdiapering
anyone know much about them? seems to me like there'd be a lot of mess that gets on the cover. how do they hold up over night? do the inserts bunch up in the diaper cover? and does the elastic ever bother lo's thighs? and if these aren't all that great what do you recommend & why?!
thanks for your help!
Re: any thoughts/opinions/advice on gdiapers
I haven't used them but from what I've heard, there are lots better and easier systems out there. I love my Flips from Cotton Babies! Instead of having the insert-waterproof lining-cover like the gdiaper, Flips have insert-waterproof cover. GroVia also makes a hybrid system. Or you could go with pockets or AIOs.
The facts at the top of the board are a lot of help!
As with anything, there are some people out there that like them. Really, the only pro they have is that they have great marketing. Most people have a hard time getting them on correctly. They constantly leak (fyi, the cover isn't waterproof), and they're expensive for what they are.
I love cloth diapering. I hate that there are brands like g-diapers that discourage people before they even start.
I agree 100%. If she's looking for a hybrid option, go Flip or Grovia - the gdiapers are more of a hassle then they are worth, and honestly, they are expensive!
I love my Flips, and when we need disposable they are the only thing I use.
