I had no idea that they have disposable liners for cloth diapers too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-115607 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:45:43 +0000 BSB 115607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: There's a gdiapers giveaway on People magazine's website. <a href="http://celebritybabies.people.com/2012/04/09/gdiapers-prize-pack-giveaway-a-155-value/" rel="nofollow">http://celebritybabies.people.com/2012/04/09/gdiapers-prize-pack-giveaway-a-155-value/</a></p> <p>I saw this and thought of you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-109583 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:55:59 +0000 red_seattle 109583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little late to the party, but I thought I'd add that we use gdiapers and love them. We mostly use the cloth because I find they leak less than the flushable inserts. We use the g-cloth inserts, but I think going with any old cloth diapers is cheaper and smart (which it sounds like you did). We do use the flushable inserts when we travel, and I love that we have that option, even though after using cloth, the flushables seem so expensive! I only flush them if I KNOW the plumbing where I am can handle it... otherwise, if I'm not sure, I toss them or compost them knowing it will biodegrade eventually (unlike disposables). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-62237 Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:48:10 +0000 pastemoo 62237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MH.Abroad: Thanks so much, I will definitely check them out, too! My local store didn't have those so I hadn't heard of them before.<br /> @sandy: Thanks! I am only going to get one cheap box of the cloth and if we don't like them, we'll just just use the cloth as rags or spit up cloth or something. I am very much looking forward to the flushable inserts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-57335 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:43:25 +0000 sandy 57335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use the gfills with my gdiapers - the flushables and I LOVE THEM! I love not carrying a giant trash bag of disposables out every few days...it is very satisfying for me to just flush it down the toilet and to wash the liners and gpants when they are soiled.</p> <p>My baby is currently 10 weeks and pretty big for her age (she was 12 pounds at her 2 month check up) and she is still in the size small and no leaks with the gfills.</p> <p>I did buy a BUNCH of the gcloth, but I don't like them as much...I gave up on them pretty quick b/c I had some leaks. If anyone is interested I would be willing to sell the size small gcloths for a discount. I have about 30 of them that I prepped while I was pregnant, but I have only used about 5 of them once or twice...the rest are unused. </p> <p>I may try using gcloth again, but it's hard because the gfills are so easy :). I HIGHLY recommend gdiapers with the flushables :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56736 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:43:30 +0000 MH.Abroad 56736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>P.S. GroVia also sells very good quality disposable liners to use with cloth inserts, and some of the best cloth wipes, if you're thinking of using those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56735 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:40:02 +0000 MH.Abroad 56735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a thought - you might also be interested in GroVia hybrids. They also allow you to switch between disposable inserts and cloth ones, but they are size adjustable, so you can use them longer instead of buying new ones each size change. <a href="https://www.gro-via.com/hybrid/grovia-shell-snap-closure.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.gro-via.com/hybrid/grovia-shell-snap-closure.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56541 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:41:33 +0000 pastemoo 56541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: We live in a big place, so the flushing part should be no prob. Thanks for the warning. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56540 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 15:38:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 56540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend who is the cloth diaper queen HATES gDiapers. And she had tried a bunch out and can usually point out the positives of each kind, but will not recommend these. </p> <p>Also, many brands have flushable liners (GroVia for example) but again, you only would want to flush if you are on a city sewer system (aparently they have a "grinder" unlike septic systems) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56527 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:47:16 +0000 pastemoo 56527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Ooh. Thanks for the tips! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56519 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:16:32 +0000 looch 56519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: no we didn't, and the reason was a selfish one...I wanted to establish a routine first for the baby, then figure out washing diapers. I also had no idea how big my son would be, so I didn't want to invest too much money in a size he might wear for a limited time.</p> <p>I have never used the liners, when we travel somewhere I need to be conscious of water usage, I use disposables. I don't trust the plumbing enough to be able to handle the diapers...most plumbers would tell you not to flush anything other than toilet paper into your septic or sewer system anyway.</p> <p>On any given day, I only have to deal with one cover that might need to be washed. So, if I am doing diaper laundry, I don't have to wash and dry the entire diaper, like with a pocket. I just have to wash 6 liners and a cover. I got a bundle of 6 covers from diapers.com, they often have 20% off sales, so watch for those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56478 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 11:46:16 +0000 pastemoo 56478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Did you ever get any of the small ones? Thanks for your input!<br /> @mrstilly: I;ll check those out too. Thanks!<br /> @ohapostrophe: Fair enough, but my husband is not into full cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56469 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 10:39:15 +0000 ohapostrophe 56469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some people seem to really love gdiapers but for me it seems silly to throw away/flush part of the diaper if you'll already be washing the other part. It seems simpler to me to just wash the whole thing...that's what we do with pocket diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56468 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 10:29:21 +0000 mrstilly 56468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People tend to either love or hate gdiapers. Usually it seems like it is based on the fit they get with LO. Because of the mixed reviews, I went with flip diapers. Similar to gdiapers but the cover/liner is one piece and its one less step to get the diaper on. </p> <p>By the time DS arrived, I was sold on cloth diapering so we have a mix of flip diapers and pockets. Most of the disposable flip inserts are sitting unused since we love cloth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56445 Sun, 22 Jan 2012 03:49:18 +0000 looch 56445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use g diapers with the cloth inserts, i've had no issue with them at all. once you get the hang of it and have a system, they're really easy to use.</p> <p>my son is of average height and weight, not super skinny but not chunky. we only got the medium sized g pants, which we are still able to use. eventually, i'll get the large size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56373 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:35:56 +0000 pastemoo 56373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I think I am still ready to try it out. And if it fails for baby, well then I'll use cloth when I'm home with baby, and when I go back to work, then we'll go to regular disposables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56372 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:34:09 +0000 BSB 56372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I love the flushable insert. Like others, I don't think they have the best reviews. I would consider trying it out, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56364 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:25:07 +0000 pastemoo 56364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheesetomywhine: Thanks! So good to hear! :)</p> <p>@sloaneandpuffy: Interesting. I think we'll buy a pack of cloth just in case, but I think we'll primarily do disposable. Thanks for sharing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56363 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:20:13 +0000 mamimami 56363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use gDiapers and have been happy, though we don't have much to compare with! We do have a few simple insert diapers that we overstuff and use at night with plastic pants and I definitely prefer gDiapers to those, because it's less washing (you only wash what gets wet/dirty, so usually not the cover). We used the disposable inserts at first when we went out, but when we ran out we started using the cloth inserts all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56361 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:19:10 +0000 cheesetomywhine 56361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally haven't used them since I don't have a bambino yet but I wanted to let you know that a family I babysat for uses them and loves them. Her son is almost two and that is all they use. I just thought I'd share a positive story! Good luck and congratulations for finding a system for your family :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56357 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 21:13:55 +0000 pastemoo 56357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skibobrown: I hope so, too! I am pretty crafty though, so I can sew anything that needs to be fixed.<br /> The reviews are pretty polarized--like anything on the web. Anyone who is only so-so on a product won't bother to review it.</p> <p>I'm hoping it works for us. If it doesn't... well the first pack isn't too much $$. </p> <p>Bummer, I was hoping to find a bee who likes them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56350 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:27:44 +0000 skibobrown 56350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We originally looked into gDiapers, but I read some less than favorable reviews, so we decided to go with full on cloth in the end. I think most of the negative reviews I read were fit specific, so basically some babies did well with gDiapers, but some babies didn't fit into the diapers very well. Hopefully your baby will be in the 1st category! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56348 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:20:41 +0000 pastemoo 56348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: $$ isn't an issue for us. We are very good at budgeting for what we find valuable. I am fine to give up something else for this one seeming way more convenient thing.</p> <p>Also.... so far I have just added them to my registry. I don't have any yet--but I am FINALLY excited about diapers and getting ready for baby with physical items. :) YAY! WIN! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56346 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:09:39 +0000 heffalump 56346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't used them, but a friend of mine did and she wasn't a fan. I think they were too expensive for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thank-you-for-finding-gdiapers-for-me#post-56343 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 20:03:03 +0000 pastemoo 56343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dear Bees,</p> <p>Thank you for finding gdiapers for me! I can't figure out which thread I learned about them from, but I know it was you, bees!</p> <p>My husband is totally against cloth diapers because he doesn't want to deal with poop and the washing machine.</p> <p>Well... gdiapers also deals with MY issue of *I-don't-want-piles-and-piles-of-dirty-diapers-piling-up issue. My trash bin is very far from our apartment, so taking out the trash every day will be a major pain.</p> <p>We can use the flushable (yay! not so many runs to the trash bin) inserts. AND if baby is too sensitive to the plastic, we can switch to cloth inserts.</p> <p>ANNNNNND the cloth inserts have disposable flushable poop covers.</p> <p>Sounds too good to be true. </p> <p>Reviews, anyone? </p>
