so in terms of good-for-the-environment-ness, which wins: cloth or biodegradable flushable disposable? cloth sounded like a good idea till people started telling me about the chemicals diaper services use to whiten/clean their diapers, and until i thought about the amount of water i or the diaper service would be using to clean them. i’m about to have my first kid, and i’m debating whether to use cloth or go for g-diapers or 7th generation ones. (this is all hypothetical, of course, till we see which kind of diaper the kid’s butt likes best…)

Kate — We tried the 7th Generation Diapers. I like 7th Generation — good folks. But the diapers really sucked. Leaks, all the comfort of cardboard, and the cost of a Princeton education. I don’t love G-diapers as much as Maggie does, but they beat 7th Gen hands down.

G-diapers are fabulous and we use them in addition to our cloth stash–sadly we have to use regular, nasty disposibles for daycare. If you want to reduce costs a bit and make them even more environment friendly you can lay prefolds or flats in the plastic insert and the result is a super trim cloth diaper set up without the hassel of pins, snappies, and folding. I came across gDiapers a bit late otherwise they would have been a bigger player in my stash. Right now they are used for “going out.”

Feel free to email me if you have any questions (I am assuming you get my email address when I post)

For what it’s worth, people should be flushing as much of the poop as possible out of a disposable diaper too. Waaay back when I was babysitting in highschool, I had a mom teach me to do that (and that’s what it said to do on the box, too) so I always did that with my own kids. I was much less environmentally aware when my kids were in diapers, but if I ever do it again I’ll look into these. Thanks for posting.

I used them until I returned to work and I liked them. I felt like I was doing something small that might make a difference. I like that you gave a honest and correct review for others who might be interested. It is so fun to have a wee one huh? he’s a QT.

I’m with Bryan on the 7th Generation diapers. We use Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers during the day and a disposable at night since our daughter is a prodigious pee-er - but it’s a blowout almost every morning. Now that I know about the G diapers I think I’ll try them. For those looking for super easy, cute, absorbent, soft cloth diapers, I recommend the Fuzzi Bunz.

I switched with my son last spring and love them too. There are definitely tricks to getting them on right and flushing them correctly (so they go down), but once you get the hang of it they’re easy. I have noticed as my son is getting a little bigger (he’s 14 mos. now) that I don’t need to change them nearly as frequently as when he was nursing every three hours.

And we have had our fair share of diaper explosions, but what I love is that even if the liner and wrap get dirty (which it is rare if the wrap gets poopy, just wet sometimes), his clothes NEVER do. With disposable it was always a matter of blowing through to his clothes and that never happens now.

Plus I love not having diaper trash to deal with or massive extra amounts of laundry to wash. I see it as a huge win win.

Glad to see I’m not the only one who is loving them… and since they are available (but almost always out of stock) at my local grocery store, I am hoping that lots more people will start using them.

As we all become so much more aware of how our daily habits impact the environment, I’m realizing that we have to consider what is really making a difference and what could possibly be more damaging. For example, my sis-in-law ordered flip flops made of recycled plastics from an Asian country. OK, it’s great that those plastics didn’t go into a landfill in Asia but what about the fuel burned to ship them all the way around the world? Lesson: buy recycled close to home to have a more positive effect. What does this have to do with the G-diapers? I really love the idea of using these diapers, BUT I am in Atlanta, GA, where we are in a huge water crisis. We’re having to REALLY conserve because of an awful drought. Our water source could actually dry up within months if we don’t get rain. One conservation method is refraining from flushing unless you REALLY need to do so. So, I’m sad that I feel like using G-diapers right now could actually do more harm than good to my local environment. I hope we can all be really thoughtful about what actions really make a positive impact on us locally and globally.

I don’t even have a baby and I’m sold on G diapers. I love green products that are fashionable too! Good find, I’m filing it in my brain for the days of motherhood.

You don’t have to flush them, I mostly don’t unless I’m out in the world with a smelly diaper. They just biodegrade faster than disposables, which is what I’d be using otherwise, so these are better.

Hi Meg. I think it’s much easier when the baby gets to solid food stage because he’s not peeing in such volume and the poop isn’t so wet. Also, once the baby is sleeping soundly through the night, he probably won’t pee until he wakes up. The only other thing that might make it work better once he’s a little older is being religious about running your finger all the way around the inside of the leg band if you weren’t doing that already. Also, you could always use a blend of disposables for when it really matters, and Gs when you’re just kicking around the house with ready access to everything you need.

Hi guys! I need help. My credit score is 550. Is there a credit card for me? I have already applied for one and was denied. Yesterday I searched for good credit card sites and have found one with various credit cards. But how could I know what credit card is right for me? Please help. Thanks beforehand.
