Product Description
Flushable Diapers, Refills, Med/L

Amazon.com Product Description
The gDiapers diapering system is an innovative, convenient, and "green" alternative to traditional disposable diapers. gDiapers consist of a "little g" pants reusable, washable outer layer, which is fitted with an absorbent, fully decomposable refill. The gDiapers Flushable Refill pack for Medium and Large sizes includes 32 refills. They are for use with medium- or large-sized "little g" pants, which fit children 13 to 28 pounds and 26 to 36 pounds, respectively.

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
  • Decomposable liners can be composted
Flushable, Decomposable Diapers
The gDiaper refills are completely decomposable. 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
To use the gDiaper refills, simply fit the disposable refill into the "little g" pant's washable liner. Once the diaper is soiled, simply remove the refill from the liner and flush it.

The "little g pant" itself sports an adorable style and trim silhouette. With easy-to-use rear Velcro closures, it's 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.

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.

3 out of 5 stars Exciting idea, but not working for me   November 19, 2008
Everyone else is saying they see fewer rashes, but mine, in spite of trying to do frequent liner changes, gets a diaper rash quickly. And very frequent changes can get pricey. I was even using Butt paste trying to head it off and would have to use disposables to let her heal up. Maybe she's sensitive, but maybe it is because there is no wicking of the moisture from her? I just adore the idea, more than any other out there and seems THE most eco friendly. Any suggestions? Otherwise, I am going back to disposables.


4 out of 5 stars Cheapest place I've found for gDiaper refills!   September 16, 2008

By subscribing to Amazon's "subscribe and save" program, I've gotten the lowest price I've found for gDiaper refills. For those that don't know, gDiapers are AWESOME, but are more expensive than disposables. This makes it more affordable. I won't be participating any more, however, because I am switching to cloth inserts, which are even more affordable and way easier than I ever imagined. But for those using the flushies, this is the best deal you will find, period!

We have been using these for almost 2 months now and we love them! There is a learning & adjustment period to getting fit just right to prevent leaks. Both grandma's who watch my daughter have even adjusted and love how great the diapers are for her skin and the earth!


5 out of 5 stars I love these diapers!!   September 11, 2008

I just love these diapers. Knowing that they are not contributing to the enormous diaper landfill pile-ups makes me so happy. Yes, when my daughter poops, I have to touch it to clean up the liners and diaper, but that's a small price to pay and she is MY kid. I recommend getting 3 gdiapers as a supply cause emergencies happen. Everyone should be using these!

This is an absolutely wonderful product that is fully biodegradable and allows the baby's skin to breathe. There are minimal to no leaks at all and zero guilt.
