I will have to look them up! Thanks for the info </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931764 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:13:09 +0000 brownie 931764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: if you are buying them all now, I would do snaps. If you are buying them separately get a couple Velcro and a bunch of snaps. Also there are resale groups on Facebook and I have had good luck with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931754 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:10:32 +0000 looch 931754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: no, becayse i lived abroad and couldn't find them locally (and my husband about had a heart attack when I suggested having them shipped).</p> <p>I had 24 cloth inserts and a set of 6 pants withthe plastic liner. Loved them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931746 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:08:57 +0000 cheert16 931746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: did you use the disposable inserts as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931735 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:05:42 +0000 looch 931735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used g pants and disposables, and I will be honest, I never had blowouts or what not with either system. Yes, it took me a little time to get the liner/insert correct with the g diapers and I did have to change more frequently with the cloth, but that's was it for my learning curve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931734 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:05:12 +0000 cheert16 931734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: DS is 3 months- Velcro or snaps- whatsoever you think? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931728 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:03:43 +0000 brownie 931728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: both and the Velcro is nice when they are tiny but the snaps are great after that. My 2 year old still can't take them off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931727 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:03:36 +0000 sandy 931727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: ours were during the small phase too when LO had more explosive liquidy poo diapers from being EBF...only 2 have warranted an entire outfit change. My friends using disposables do 1-2 outfit changes a day for their infants </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931718 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:01:24 +0000 cheert16 931718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: thanks for the info!! I think we might go with the grovia!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931715 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 10:00:56 +0000 cheert16 931715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brownie: I looked into the grovia and they look pretty good- I like tr idea of snaps as opposed to Velcro - do you have the snap ones or Velcro? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931709 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 09:59:19 +0000 JerricaBenton 931709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: yeah that's how my husband feels! We were going through so many diapers a day in tbe nb stage that we used a lot of disposables too and he felt like the nb gdiapers were a waste. Oh well! I can't believe how tiny they are looking at them now! Hopefully the mediums will last much longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931684 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 09:53:03 +0000 pastemoo 931684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: YES. We have had 3 blowouts--2 during small phase when we were still in the learning curce and when and 1 as a baby... that's TOTAL in over a year of gDiapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-931676 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 09:49:23 +0000 pastemoo 931676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: Don't worry! We grew out of smalls at 8 weeks and still in mediums at 13-almost-14 months.<br /> I think he was in the newborn size for all of 2 weeks.<br /> I almost wish we just started with the mediums! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-930562 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:47:01 +0000 brownie 930562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: gDiapers were quite the learning curve for us. I couldn't get them to fit well. BUT we LOVE Grovias and they have both the cloth and the disposables as well. The disposables are also backed so the shells don't get wet. </p> <p>We used the GDiaper Cloth in the Grovia shells most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-930539 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:29:41 +0000 sandy 930539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: I also do amazon mom and subscribe and save. For a while I was doing the promo codes off diapers.com but once those ran out i started using amazon (we have prime so free shipping). I get the 4 pack and it's about $50 once the tax is added in. A 4 pack lasts me about a month. I think the cost of flushables is comparable to disposable diapers but I know this we've had maybe 4-5 blowouts ever and my friends who use disposables have blowouts almost daily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929861 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 07:43:03 +0000 aprk 929861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cheert16: g inserts can be flushed. Grovia has regular organic cotton inserts or stay dry inserts, as well as disposable inserts. We love those and use them when we are without laundry facilities for a few days or staying in a hotel.</p> <p>ETA: the reason we ended up not choosing g diapers was because I preferred snaps to aplix </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929855 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 07:29:58 +0000 lamariniere 929855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have used gDiapers with the disposable liners since LO was 1 week and I love them (he's now 2.5 years--not potty trained yet). When we lived in the US, I would flush them and we only had toilet clogging issues a handful of times...usually when we weren't paying close enough attention to how we flushed. </p> <p>@sandy: @JerricaBenton: DS wore the newborn size until 8 weeks. Small until 4 months. Medium until 16 months (I think). Large until about 26 months and now he is in XL, but he can also still wear the larges without major disasters, so he is in both now since we only have a few XLs.</p> <p>@cheert16: in the US I signed up for amazon mom and subscribe and save and I think each case (4 packs) was around $35-40 with free shipping. Not sure what the pricing is these days, but at the time it was WAY cheaper than diapers.com or the gDiapers site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929756 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 04:03:03 +0000 JerricaBenton 929756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: nice! Hopefully our mediums fit for that long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929736 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 02:40:21 +0000 cheert16 929736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: thanks for the size info and the flush able liner info! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929735 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 02:39:30 +0000 cheert16 929735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: do you know what the difference between the two are? Can you use disposable liners in those as well? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929734 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 02:38:29 +0000 cheert16 929734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: how is the cost of the disposable liners? My DH is a weary about using the cloth liners ( I will use them while I home and not at work) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929515 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 22:17:27 +0000 sandy 929515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: my LO grew out of size small super early too...before 6 months. She's been in size medium FOREVER...she was 23lbs at her 18 month appointment which is right around 75th percentile (so she's not a small child)...I think the size medium goes up to 28lbs. She's almost 20 months so I'm hoping she can wear them for a few more months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929273 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 19:44:21 +0000 aprk 929273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use grovia which is similar to the gdiapers. The gdiapers are super cute though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929227 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 19:23:35 +0000 JerricaBenton 929227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: Wow! How many lbs is your LO?? Mine is 5 months and about 15 lbs and grew out of smalls 3 weeks ago! I wish ours would last that long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929224 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 19:21:18 +0000 JerricaBenton 929224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use gdiapers. We only use the disposable liners at Grandma's (cuz she's weird about it lol) or if we're running around a lot. Otherwise we use the cloth liners with the flushable sheet on top. It's silly when there's pee, but it's worth it for the poops. We like them a lot. My only complaint would be that she's grown out of the sizes before she hit the weight they say they're for. We're in Mediums at 5 mos and she's not a very big girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929196 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 19:02:40 +0000 sandy 929196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE gdiapers. I used to use cloth inserts when LO was EBF but now I use the flushables almost exclusively. She's almost 20 months and still in the medium size gpants. I'm hoping to potty train in the next few months so hopefully we won't ever have to purchase the large gpants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929188 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 18:57:45 +0000 pastemoo 929188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them--I only use disposable inserts if we need lots of rash cream and for airplane trips. I mostly use cloth inserts. The first month or two we only used the disposable inserts.<br /> I think @mediagirl also uses them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gpants-thoughts#post-929105 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 17:56:04 +0000 cheert16 929105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried gpant diaper covers with the disposable liners? Dh and I are talking about trying them out- thoughts on them?? </p>
