Saving the planet...one diaper at a time!

This is one awesome little diaper...

(check out Lucy's cute love handles!)

Here is Luce modeling one of her gDiapers. We were so excited when her bum finally grew into these happy little cloth diapers. Many people have asked about these when we told them we were going to use cloth diapers so I thought I would put all of your inquiring minds at ease.

Basically, there are 3 parts to these diapers. We have:

  1. The cloth diaper aka gPant
  2. The leak-proof liner
  3. The flushable/compostable insert aka gRefill (which happen resemble a gigantic maxi pad)

So the cloth diaper has 4 snaps on the inside which secures the liner in the diaper(this makes it super easy to change them whenever they get dirty). See snaps below.

You just stuff the insert into the liner and they are ready to go on baby's bum. When baby goes potty, you just take out the insert and tear along the edge and dump out the inner fluffy stuff into the toilet and use your handy little swish stick to break it up so it will flush easily. Then you throw the rest of the insert in and flush away! You have to flush the poopy inserts but you can either flush, compost, or toss the pee ones because they are bio-degradable. It will break down in the landfill in about 90 days vs. up to 500 years for a disposable. How cool is that?

If you're interested, you should totally go check out their website. You can watch the videos so you can see what I'm talking about. We highly recommend them! They have tons of really cute colors and patterns.

These 2 of Lucy's gPants are my favorite. We bought neutrals in case we have a boy next...and these are pretty much my 2 favorite colors. :)

And look how cute the inside of the diaper is! All sorts of fun g-words.

Luce is all about saving the planet, woot woot!
