Customer Reviews of gDiapers Biodegradable Diapers Refills, Small, 40 Count Bags (Pack of 4)
Customer Review: gDiapers are not worth the trouble
Summary: 1 Stars
Please don't get me wrong. I am all for preserving our diminishing environment but is it really worth the hassle of cleaning leaked diapers?
While gDiapers will surely depend on the baby, every time my boy poops (especially between 1-4 months), 90% of the time, his poop leaks out. I'm not a diaper newbie, either - I've been using Pampers Swaddlers when he was 0-1 months old with almost 0% failure/leakage rates. Perhaps it may be due to my boy's powerful pooping abilities or the amount of sheer poop that comes out of the little guy (or a combination of both!), but I wouldn't be surprised if other potential buyers suffer the same malady as I did because I just don't think the diapers are well constructed.
First and foremost, typical (and environmentally not as good) diapers, such as Pampers, have elastic edges that conform to your baby's butt to ensure the lowest chances of any leakage. These gDiapers have inner absorbent liners that have NO such edges. The plastic liner that you put the absorbent liners on does have an elastic band that makes a snug fit on your baby, but when poop gets into this plastic liner, you have to clean it! Most of the time, when poop makes its way to the plastic liner, it most likely already got to the cloth exterior, too. So what's worse - a little diaper that ends up in the landfill, or using 10-20 gallons of water trying to clean the poop from the plastic and cloth liners each time they get sullied? Oh, and how about the half hour spent cleaning these things?
Stay away from gDiapers and stick with the commercial diapers. I love the gDiapers concept, but I think they have a little ways to go in terms of construction. The funny thing is that you probably WILL use those commercial diapers because if your child dirties the 2 or 4 gDiaper cloth exteriors you have, yet you didn't have time to watch them yet, you're going to go back to the big-name diapers!
Customer Review: don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars
So I have twins and decided to try "cloth" diapers. Read some reviews and thought I'd try these. I also tried Fuzzibunz, bumGenius, and gro baby. If you are going to get this close and personal with your baby's poop I say skip the g diapers. They leaked more (when they pooped) and both boys got a red bottom from these...I think it's the plastic liner that snaps in. I prefer the fuzzibunz over all I've tried. I think the pocket diapers with inserts work better and are easier to clean. The bumGenius is fine but I prefer the feel of the fleece lining in the fuzzibunz. The nurtured family website has a good explanation on AIO diapers and helped me.
