“You want to WHAT?”

Immediately she set to discouraging me. “The endless laundry!” she exclaimed. I shrugged it off and said I’d be home with the baby anyway. “But the cost!” I explained I had calculated it out and figured it was actually cheaper, even including the laundry room quarters. Seeing that she was not going to talk her stubborn daughter out of this debacle, she emailed me a link to a website with the simple remark: “Use these instead.”

The link was to gDiapers. We used them religiously up until my husband lost his job and we were living on the kindness and charity of family members.

I love these things! To quote from their site:

For the last 40 years there have been but two choices in diapers. Cloth or disposable. That’s it. Now gDiapers offers a third option. 100% biodegradable*, flushable diapers. gDiapers puts waste where it belongs, in the toilet. Not the landfill.

gDiapers have no elemental chlorine, no perfumes, no smell, no garbage and no guilt. In fact, our gRefills are so gentle on the Earth you can even garden compost the wet ones in one compost cycle, approximately 50 – 150 days. Just think of the standing ovation you’ll get from the planet.

You wash the soft, adorable covers and compost, flush, or toss the soiled inserts. It’s that easy! My daughter loved them and couldn’t pull them off (those brilliant people put the Velcro in the back!) despite all her trying.

I can tell you right now that for the next kid in our household, gDiapers will the only way to go. Convenient and earth-friendly – that’s what I like to hear. Thank you Kimberley and Jason for this great product!
