IMO, they're glorified sposies. Its not going to save you any money. You can use gdiapers inserts in other CDs too as a disposable option. Some CDers use that for traveling.

What is making you consider gdiapers? Cost? Sensitive skin?

No I use Pampers. I know that complete cloth diapering is not for me. Its not about saving money or anything like that, but if they are better for the environment and don't leak everywhere, then why not? But I was in BRU and saw the Gdiapers and thought if they were as absorbent, it would be worth trying. I like the idea of putting the disposible liners in the compost.

Our little guy is only a little over 3 weeks old and both my husband and I really have not issues with our G's. We have even put our prefold in the shell and it worked out well.

I love my Gs, but if you don't want to CD because of the laundry, even a hybrid system won't work for you (most likely). You still have to wash the covers and the liners. I use gdiapers, but only with the gcloth, and honestly, the laundry isn't bad. I'm probably crazy, but I somehow look forward to laundry.

But, with that said, yes, the disposable inserts are as absorbent as disposables, but you will have to clean the inserts fairly often since pee gets on it, or whenever any poo gets on it, plus wash the covers if you get a leak.

Are you going to actually compost them in a compost bin? If so, great! But you're going to need a huge compost if you plan on using those as your full time diapers and composting them. Just keep in mind you can't compost the poop ones, only pee and that they won't decompose in a landfill. I don't really see them as being much better for the environment.

I can handle some laundry associated with CDering, but not prefolds. I use my sister's machin and she won't let me put stuff like that in there. I figure I could compost the pee ones and flush the poopy ones.

So, laundry is the issue? That's too bad she won't let you wash cloth diapers in there. Does she have a clean washer cycle on her washer? If she's leary about dirty dipes in it - you could always run a clean washer cycle after the diapers.....just a thought.

We really like our g's. The disposable inserts work fairly decently - we've never had a leak with them. But, they are a bit more expensive than pampers (at least here, they are). We use them mostly with cloth, though....I just like the disposable inserts for going out, if one of the kids have a diaper rash, my mom (who babysits) sometimes will just use those.....

We use G's with prefolds 95% of the time, and for us it was a cost thing and wanting to CD. If that's the case these really are the less pricey way to go. However, if you are thinking of using the disposable inserts only, I don't see you saving much money. You will probably spend a bit more than you would on pampers (since the pack of 32 inserts costs about $14.99). You won't get as many leaks on your LO's cloths, but you will likely get leaks on the liner. So, I would suggest having at least 4-6 covers and maybe getting an extra package of liners(they don't sell these at BRU. I got mine off the their website.). Oh and be sure you have a strong toilet if you plan on flushing. One of the toilets in my home is a bit weak and will clog if I try to flush the inserts. GL.

If you are interested in purchasing some that are practically brand new but a lot cheaper let me know. I'm selling my stash of G's which includes 6 med (3 aqua and 3 blue pants and 1 large (boy color print), 8 stain free plastic liners, and 26 disposable inserts. I would like to sell the lot for $85. PM me or email nicoleroccaro at yahoo.com

We both really liked them, DH especially, but they just did not fit DS right.

For you, it wouldn't be worth it. Even though they say you can flush the liners, you're not supposed to. They really mess up municipal sewer systems.

Oh yeah, and this. If you want a disposable that's better for the environment, there are a couple on the market..... Seventh Generation is one. Huggies Pure and Natural claims to be more natural......I doubt they are but they definitely don't stink as bad as pampers and regular huggies.....
