I've never used the disposable inserts but my friends who do haven't had many complaints.

Up and Up diapers fit like Pampers but have no fragrance, if you decide you want disposables.

If pampers didn't irritate his skin, I don't understand why you wouldn't go back to them? It seems a waste to buy an untried solution, especially since it won't be cheap and he's already 2.5.

Both of my LOs have been very sensitive to pampers on the rare occasion we used them (like at daycare).

We used gDiapers with disposable inserts on my son until he was potty trained at 2.5. He was a big boy and in size XL. I found them to be absorbent enough, occasionally we would have nighttime leaks, but they were usually fine. I mostly used g's on my younger LO, but she started daycare earlier than my son, so she was in disposables more and we switched to all disposables about a month ago (just after age 2). I buy a brand called Naty by Nature baby care and they seem to be very gentle. She gets the occasional rash if she has been in a diaper for too long, but otherwise I'm happy with them.

@charlotte: Did you end up trying G diapers for your son? I am thinking about getting some for my big 18m old. We used to cloth diaper but he outgrew all his one size all in ones, and the random selection of flats and prefolds with the few covers we have that still work aren't impressing me. Mainly cause I don't like the plastic part touching his skin too much.

@lamariniere: Do you happen to know what disposable size your son fit into when he was wearing XL g diapers? My son is fully in size 6, but some of the trimmer disposable diapers tend to rub on his hips and get him a little bit heat rashy. Doesnt seem to bother him, just me... but if I am potentially gonna be trying new types of disposable diapers I was thinking of investing in some cloth or hybrid ones!

@lamariniere: Darn that's not a good sign. I know with the velcro they are adjustable but maybe not that adjustable! Thanks for responding!
