Diapers: Cloth, disposable or…
Hybrid?!
Clever, clever. Aside from the cute little diaper covers, the inner liner is disposable. And not just disposable, my friends, but flushable.
Aside from the big environmental benefit here, how much would I LOVE to not have stinky bins of diapers around my house??
The materials in ‘little g’ pants, liners and flushables are designed with comfort and dryness in mind. Flushables are made of a water resistant, breathable outer material that keep bottoms dry and wetness away. It is made of all natural fiber and is 100% biodegradable. The interior uses elemental chlorine-free tree farmed fluff pulp and Super Absorbing Poly-acrylate to absorb wetness. These super absorbing lock away cells hold up to 100 times their weight in liquid.
Snap-in liners are made of breathable polyurethane coated nylon, not pvc like many diaper covers. They are easy to change and rinse out. Our liners are also breathable which helps prevent diaper rash.
Our ‘little g’ pants are made of a soft, breathable outer cotton/elastene fabric giving them a slight stretch.
I'm completely intrigued by this innovation. They do not represent any kind of cost savings over conventional disposable diapers – let alone cloth. In fact, of course, they are pricier. But if they are all that they are marketed to be, they certainly marry the best of both worlds – and even trump both!
So, I do believe we're going to try them out once the babe is here. I'll let y'all know how they work out.

OMG'osh, funny you post about it because we saw disposable ones at Walmart and I told Joe that's what I wore when I was a baby… but they smelled like plastic so bad! BLAH. I don't know that I could do it… could you? Let us know how that goes…

Yay! We use g's and have been for Anya's entire life. I love them! They are a super cool company. I've even been sent Australian cookies by the co-president. I suggest that you join the Yahoo group (there is a link on the gdiaper webpage) it is a wealth of information. I'm so glad you found them and posted about it.

Here are some review links:diaper junglejasper chronicles"All in all I like the idea of an environmentally better disposable, so
I give gDiapers a thumbs-up for that. I think they're a great new idea
that, with some tweaking on the absorpsion front, could be a real
winner. Right now, based on my experience, I'd say use them during the
days until they resolve the overnight leaking. But if all disposable
users used a gDiaper even just once or twice a day, that would add up
to several thousand fewer diapers in the landfill every year."adventures in applied math "You have to change these diapers more often than you change disposables.""I also like the fact that when we use these diapers, we don't have the diaper stench."sustain lane — bunch-a-cheerleaders, little data

I haven't read that review, so I maybe misinterpreting, but issues with overnight leaks in g's are usually very easily resolved with different doubling techniques and fit tips. We have had VERY few nighttime leaks and Anya sleeps for 13+ hours a night with no diaper change. I just love the product so much I didn't want you to get scared by that review! I'm not on the gdiaper payroll, but my husband thinks I should be with how much I try to promote them!
