We know it is like comparing apples to oranges, but we are trying to find the most covenient, eco-friendly diapering solution.
We have been towing the line between disposables and cloth diapers since our son was born over 7 months ago. We use Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers at home and disposables while he is at daycare. We were really excited to learn about G Diapers, which are a hybrid cloth/disposable diaper.
We love our Fuzzi Bunz, but we have been having some leakage issues during the night. I guess our son is a super soaker. We have tried multiple inserts and hemp inserts but we still have nighttime leaks. Nothing is worse in my opinion than having to upset a sleeping baby to change their clothes in the middle of the night.
So I ordered the G Diaper Starter Pack. I am hoping they will provide us with a more absorbent nighttime option and perhaps a better option when we are out and about. I also love the fact that they are still an eco-friendly diapering solution. The disposable liners are safe to flush down the toilet or can be composted (breaking down in less than 2 months).
We just started using the G Diaper and so far we are leak-free during the night. We also heard you can use cloth inserts in the G Diaper, so we will be trying that next. We will follow-up and let you know how we like the G Diapers.

I just want to say we LOVE g diapers and have been using it for about a month now. I found that they are even selling at Babies R Us and am really excited that it is taking off. After doing many blog readings online, I have found a lot of parents on the fence about this product.
I understand that g diapers were made with the intent to have a flushable liner but we use the product with a basic trifold cloth insert.
With this said, I really know and understand that the product was not made for cloth in mind-but I think it is an amazing product for such a use!
I have told everyone about the cost effectiveness and about the lack of bulk compared to the other cloth diapers out their (due to the elasticity). As well as the lack of washing both the inside and outside every time! So there is less washing, but still no leaking…yeah!
My husband and I found over 2 years:
disposable -$2,000 + and NEVER green
“modern” cloth diaper-$500+ and GREEN
g diapers with cloth inserts-$150+ and GREEN
PLEASE SHARE THIS!!!
