G-Diapers : An Alternative to Cloth and Disposable Diapers

G Diapers are the newest development in environmentally friendly diapers. While they're not quite cloth diapers, they're not quite disposable diapers either. Sounds confusing? Keep reading...

G Diapers are similar to cloth diapers because they are a diapering system. The diapering system consists of a flushable pad and a pair of "little g" pants. The flushable pad fits right into the snap in liner of the "little g" pants. The "little g" pants are 100% water resistant, very breathable, and absolutely adorable. Unlike cloth diapers, G Diapers require no laundry, diaper pail, or folding diapers.

The thing that makes G Diapers like disposables is that they are disposable. The only difference is that instead of throwing them into the trash, you flush the pad right down the toilet. No dealing with stinky diapers piling up in your trashcan, just flush them down. And unlike disposables the flushable pad is environmentally friendly.

The flushable pad is made out of tree farmed fluff pulp (the same stuff used to make paper) and super absorber (able to absorb 100 times its weight in water). It contains no elemental chlorine or perfumes. The flushable pad also decomposes much faster than disposable diapers, which take over 500 years to completely decompose.

The process of using the diapers is very simple. After you snap the flushable pad and put the diaper on just as you would a disposable. After the baby does her business, remove the diaper, remove the flushable pad, and flush it down the toilet. You can wipe out the "little g" pants liner and use them again. It's that simple.

The only thing you need to consider with these pants is if your toilet can handle the flushable pads. The makers of G Diapers suggest that you "know thy toilet". They offer toilet septic system advice on their website, but generally it is safe to use their diapers as long as you don't have an older system with old pluming.
