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.
 Flushable, Decomposable DiapersThe 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 Get Started!
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.

- not absorbent enough and too expensive
- I have two complaints about these diapers:
1) they aren't absorbent enough. when my baby pees the insert gets soaked and bunches up immediately resulting in leaks and wetness next to his skin.
2) the inserts are very expensive, making them more expensive (and less absorbent) than commercial diapers.

- I really love these. Cloth wasn't really an option, so these feel like a great way to be a bit more green. Plus they're much cuter than disposables. =) The only times I've had issues with leaks were when I left them on too long and he soaked through the insert, otherwise they've been great. I do try to change them every 2 hours or so,… More reviews
- Bonus with Amazon
- I first saw these at Whole Foods, and decided to come read reviews before I purchased. I was impressed with the reviews, and decided to do as others recommended and buy starter kits due to the cost. I found they were a couple dollars cheaper at Whole Foods, but ordered 2 from Amazon as well. I was happy with the kit from Amazon, b/c it included… More reviews
- god for travelling
- We use cloth diapers, but when we were planning a road trip, I needed something that was more portable (than carrying around dirty diapers in the trunk of the car). We only used these while we were on the road and they worked well, I didn't really swirl them as we were changing diapers in public restrooms, but they flushed fine, just from… More reviews
- Great for eczema
- I wanted to try these both because of the impact on the earth and to see if they would help with my son's eczema. You do have to pay attention to how wet they get because they will leak especially at night. Other than nap times, I had no issue with leaks. They were very helpful in clearing up my son's eczema and decreasing instances of diaper… More reviews
