  Diaper "portfolio" should incl gDiapers

  My friends, you don't need to settle on just one diaper. gDiapers can be part of your diaper portfolio.

  We have used gDiapers, and tried all others, with our 2 year old and our 2 month old. We feel that every gDiaper that we use is one less forever in a landfill. In recent months we have even started composting the wet ones. This experiment has not run to its full conclusion, so i cannot comment on the results.

  For us gDiapers were best until our 2 yr old started eating more adult food, at which point things get pretty nasty. gDiapers are also really best for infants who don't wear big kid clothes, since they have a fabric short which is bulky under other clothes.

  Among the other "eco" diapers, 7th Generation are our favorite. These have recently been redesigned with high-end diaper technology like elastic and stretchy tabs. Other eco diapers, like nature's best, are very stiff and not form fitting.

  So with our infants we used both gDiapers and 7th Gen, which we keep in the bin next to the changing table. During their first year we avoided a lot of traditional diapers, eco or otherwise. On A review of disposable eco-diapers posted 1 year ago 10 Responses
