Not quite crunchy....

But we've decided to give gDiapers a try. The fact that they are flushable first got me interested. This means no more stinky Diaper Genie. But, I must admit, I've always thought diaper covers were adorable. However, not adorable enough to all out cloth diaper. So, gDiapers seem to be the way to go.

They shipped super fast. I ordered them on 9/22 and even though I paid for Ground shipping (4-7 business days), they arrived on 9/24.

I normally don't put anything on Taylor without washing it first, but the excitement got the best of me. I wrapped him up as soon as I finished reading the directions! First off, I LOVE the covers. They're stretchy and snuggly feeling. At first glance, I thought they had sent me the wrong flushable liners as they looked huge compared to the liner insert. But, it only took a minute to get is situated in the liner and it was perfect.

I especially like that they velcro in the back, since Taylor has recently figured out that he can take his diapers off himself. Ick. So, they were very easy to load and just as easy as a 'sposie to put on. They are a bit bulkier than a 'sposie, but not enough to interfere with the way his clothes fit.

So, Taylor got to go to dinner last night in a tee and a gDiaper, which is adorable. Once we got home, i went ahead and changed him, even though it was fairly soon, so we could get his jammies on and get ready for bed.

So, the first night didn't go so well. He woke up covered in pee. Turns out, you're supposed to double up the insert at night, since they are on for so long. So, we'll know that for tonight.

While in the middle of typing this blog, we had our first poopy G. I can only say that I hope as I get used to it, it will get better. The snap-in liner was covered in poop. Luckily, I ordered extra, so I didn't feel bad about just throwing that one out. It seems that the insert slipped out of place. Gonna have to figure out how that happened.

All in all, I like them. But they will definitely take some getting used to. It has, however, reinforced what I've always known. I am NOT cut out for straight up cloth diapering. But at least with the G, I'm doing a little bit to help the planet, and Taylor's room won't stink anymore.

I'll update on the G as we go. But, here's some pictures. See how cute the cover is??
