Amazon.com Product Description:
A baby in disposable diapers puts an average of 6,000 diapers into the landfills by the time he or she is potty trained -- and those plastic-based diapers take about 500 years to decompose. What's an environmentally conscious parent to do? With gDiapers, you can have the convenience of disposable diapers and avoid doing damage to the planet. In fact, gDiapers even help the environment. Get started with this gDiapers Starter Kit, which can be used on babies 13 to 28 pounds in weight.

gDiapers offer:
  • Flushable, decomposable diapers that offer an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposables
  • Breathable, non-plastic diapering system that keeps baby's skin healthier
  • Starter Kit that contains everything you need to begin using gDiapers
Flushable, Decomposable Diapers
The gDiaper consists of a machine-washable, reusable cotton "little g pant" and a snap-in, reusable waterproof liner, which contains the diaper refill. These refills are decomposable. Containing no plastic products, they're made from sustainably farmed wood fluff pulp, sodium polyacrylate (SAP), which provides absorbency, and cellulose rayon. And they can be flushed down the toilet, which has a couple of wonderful benefits. First, it eliminates the need to keep smelly diapers around in a diaper pail. Second, it keeps unnecessary waste out of the landfills. And finally, the entire contents of the diaper gets processed by sewage treatment plants, which return treated, completely sanitized solids to be converted into valuable fertilizer. It's recycling at its best!

If you're unable to flush the liners, they can still be thrown in the trash without guilt, since they will decompose in 50 to 150 days -- a much better turnaround than their plastic counterparts. And, if you're a gardener, you can simply throw the wet liners in your compost bin. (Note: for sanitary reasons, never put poopy diapers in the compost.)

As Easy As Traditional Disposables -- but Healthier
The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette, and it's available in several cool colors. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, the little g pant is just as easy to put on a baby as traditional disposable diapers -- no pins to deal with here. Plus, its breathable qualities help keep baby's skin healthier by minimizing diaper rash.

Get Started!
Everything you need to get started is included in the handy Starter Kit: two little g pants in trendy "Great Orange" and "Vanilla Bean" colors, suitable for boys or girls, each with two snap-in liners; 10 flushable diaper refills; a "swishstick" to aid with flushing; and a Handy User's Guide (H.U.G). The "Medium" Starter Kit is for babies 13 to 28 pounds in weight; small and large sizes also available, so you can start with gDiapers in any stage of your child's pre-potty-training life.
Starter kits come in three sizes:
Tips for Successful gDiaper Use
Some plumbing systems may have problems with the flushable liners, including systems with tree-infested pipes; non-standard plumbing systems, including grinders or house traps; and septic tanks, which require close monitoring to make sure the outflow is clear. It is recommended that only poopy diapers be put into septic systems, and wet ones be composted.

But even if your plumbing system won't accept the gDiaper flushables, you can always simply throw them in the trash where they'll quickly decompose, making a much more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposable diapers.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Feel good about using disposable diapers
These diapers are great! We used Pampers and Huggies for 13 months before we found these. They are the perfect compromise between disposable diapers and cloth diapers - all the benefits of cloth diapers without having to wash (and rewash, and rewash) nasty fabric liners. We live in an old apartment building so we elected to spare our neighbors the potential plumbing issues of trying to flush these so I can't comment on the true "flushability", but my diaper genie II seems to like them just fine. ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - also for wet nights
we CD during the day and use the gdiaper at night and really like them


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - These are great!
I wanted to try out the gDiaper after reading about it in a blog, so I ordered the starter kit. I had been using cloth diapers and found that the gDiaper can accommodate a cloth soaker very nicely. I was so happy to have less laundry to do as I am washing mostly cloth soakers now.

I haven't any complaints about leakage--it seems like about the same rate of occurrence as the plastic disposables and a little less than my old cloth method. I was so thrilled with the diaper system that ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Dependable and versatile diaper
I am a mother of 11 month-old baby girl. I decided to switch to gDiapers after I saw a short feature about it on the Rachael Ray show. I was a little reluctant to try it because it costs more than your regular disposable diaper. But in my quest for a greener household, I decided to buy them. The only concern I had with this product was that the insert tends to bunch up in the front...but I haven't had a leak yet. My daughter HATES having her diapers changed and will squirm and scream while I fasten ... Read More


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - gDiapers- good and bad
I am trying to be more 'green' these days so the gDiapers starter kit and refills seemed like a good place to start. I love that the cotton refills are completely biodegradable and the liners and pants can be used until my son outgrows them. One thing I've noticed is that I have to change the refills more often than regular disposables, it seems, or else we have leaks. The biggest downer in my mind is that when my 5 month old has a poop diaper (which is sometimes 3-4 times a day!) it pretty much goes ... Read More
