Customer Reviews of Little G Pants Small 2 Pack( Colors Vary)Customer Review: Like a diaper version of a Prius with the after-market plug-in upgrade Summary: 5 Stars
I love these diapers (though like any product, of course there is room for improvement - and the folks at gDiapers recognize this and is constantly working to improve them, great customer service too!). We have been using them on our 8 week old son since he was 8 days old (had to wait for his umbilical stump to fall off as the top of the diaper covered the stump). We've had fewer leaks with them than we had with our firstborn, who was exclusively in disposable diapers.
What makes these diapers so unique is that they are truly a "third option" in the disposable or cloth debate. You can use them as advertised and put a flushable insert in them, but you also have the option of putting cloth there instead and having a 100% cloth diaper with a pretty cute cover to boot. I love them even just as cloth diaper covers because the snap-in liner really keeps the laundry load down - since my little one isn't yet mobile enough to make a mess of his clothes, I don't need to wash the cover at every diaper change like some other cloth options require. The cover doesn't automatically come in contact with urine or feces because the snap-in liner contains it very well if they're put on correctly (even with exclusive breastfeeding liquid poop). There's a bit of a learning curve with them to get a leak-free seal, but I had way more leaks and blow-outs with my first in his regular disposables than I have had with the new baby in gDiapers.
As for the liners, they can be an issue if your sewer line has issues (we found out the hard way that we had tree roots in our sewer line). The gDiapers website DOES warn people about this in their FAQ section (there are also a lot of helpful tips and even videos to help learn how to use the diapers there - fantastic website, and they also sell colors of covers there that are unavailable anywhere else).
What is working for our family is we use a cloth "diaper doubler" inside the little g pants at home while a parent is awake to change the diapers, a flushable at night for now because we trust the absorbency more, and flushables exclusively while we're out and about since I can't be trusted to remember to take a wet cloth diaper out of my bag and put it in the laundry after being out with two little ones. I've had no trouble flushing them in public toilets but I do put them in a ziplock bag to dispose of at home if I'm visiting someone's home and they're not comfortable with me trying to flush one in their toilet (I live in an area full of pre-WWII homes on tree-lined streets so tree roots in sewers are fairly common here). We compost our wet ones in a composter in the back (keeping them in a coffee can in the bathroom to minimize trips out to the compost bin) and since we have sewer issues we have a friend with more composting experience and knowledge about composting "humanure" (that's the term for it - go google it ;) ) who takes the poop ones (mostly you have to be sure your compost is getting hot enough to kill any bacteria that may be present, but it's not recommended to try unless you really read up on it and know what you're doing and are willing to take the extra steps/time to make it safe).
There is also a fantastic group of fans of the product on a Yahoo Group (it's linked off the top of the gDiapers website) - discussions are often off-topic (recent conversations have been on anything from composting to circumcision to birth options) but they're very quick to help anyone with questions, which is nice to have in addition to the wonderful folks at "gHQ" - questions about leaks and other issues frequently get answered within a few minutes on the email list which is nice when it's after business hours and the nice gHQ people are spending some time with their own families.
I never thought I'd be such a fan of a diaper, or that a diaper could change my family's life, but this one has. Our serious composting friend gave us our compost bin as a baby gift when she heard about the diapers and knew we were using them, and that's had a ripple effect through the rest of our daily lives and eco-consciousness.
