Where do I start? A couple months ago, after everyone had disregarded my desire to try cloth diapers, Emily mentioned gDiapers to me. She had seen a post on them from a blog that she recently visits...although she has no connection with the creator. So I went and checked out
gDiaper's official site and thought it was a great idea!
You may be asking yourselves, "When did Abby become 'green'"? Well, I don't consider myself 'green' I am just infatuated with this idea of not sending a ton of diapers to sit in a landfill for 500 years. I have also noticed a lot of other waste that I have in my life now and think that I am going to try and be a little more eco-conscious. So back to my gDiapers... They are compostable, flushable, and you could even toss them if you wanted to. They also work very well with cloth inserts, which are not as bad as they used to be, and that makes them a little more cost effective. The flushables are a little more than buying Pampers or another expensive brand of disposables. However, if you buy in bulk when they are on sale and befriend a gmum who will send you $2 off coupons it isn't so bad. I am also considering doing a little bit of both. Maybe a mixture of cloth and flushables...
I have become a member of the gDiapers yahoo group. They are all very supportive and have awesome advice and tips. They also have a database where they get on and sell there used or unwanted new gDiapers for a lower price. The picture in this post is of my first gdiaper purchase. I bought 4 used small gDiaper covers to test it out and see if I like them. I figure it will be better to try it out and prove to Jonathan that I am not crazy!
I am really excited about these gDiapers. I am also excited about how cute the baby is going to be wearing only his little gpants!!
