  My BFF tried them. They had to have their pipe roto-rootered after trying them. Apparently they're not for people with older/not great plumbing.

  And really, if you're going to be washing diaper covers, why not just go all the way to cloth?

  we ended up using our g-diaper covers with cloth inserts. however, we were using a diaper service and the chemicals they use to wash the diapers ended up being too harsh for T- he has bad eczema. which is why we switched to the 7th gen. BUT i can also say that you don't have to flush the gDiapers. they are still biodegradable and much more earth friendly then standard diapers even if you throw them away.

  Unfortunately, landfills are packed so full that air doesn't get in there to help stuff breakdown. Pretty much nothing in a landfill biodegrades. So unless you're composting it yourself, it's going to be around just as long as a huggies or 7th generation diaper. Granted, it's smaller so there's less of it to sit around in the landfill, but it's still not going to biodegrade any time soon (they estimate it'll take 200-500 years.)
