When Jack was about 6 months old we went cloth. I was not at all that Mom who knew what she was going to do before her child was born. We used Target generic brand disposable diapers until I had spent enough time tapping into the “crunchy” side of my new self that I decided that I didn’t want those chemicals on his wiener. I want grandkids for crying out loud! I bought the cheapest cloth diapers I could find. I think they were made in China. Not long after I got them the elastic started to weaken and now they sag and his pee leaks out down his leg. His gDiaper is snug and it doesn’t leak. EVEN AT NIGHT!
The transition to cloth was smooth since I knew this is what I wanted, but, man, it is really is a lot of laundry! I came across gDiapers and thought I would give them a try. I was really surprised at how much I liked them! They have the cute designs that all cloth mamas are addicted to. Then there is the disposable insert so the diaper can be reused cutting down on all that laundry. I can really make a gDiaper last! The insert is biodegradable and I don’t have to feel worried about the chemicals. There is even an option for flushing the insert!
I was excited that I had found this diaper and they quickly became a part of our rotation. He started getting snapped in breastfeeding photos with them on. One day I posted one on Facebook and everyone began to comment on how “cute he looks in his gDiaper, but you have it on backwards.” What? No, not me. I don’t silly things like that. I ran to look at the picture on the insert bag. Sure enough, it was on backwards… Well, here is my last point about gDiaper. What other diaper works just as well backwards!?
