Using gdiapers for 2 months now

Well, so we have officially been using gdiapers for two months now and we still love them. We bought size mediums a few days after my last gdiaper post. We have never had a problem with leaks like we did with disposables and they are supper easy to use.

If you follow the instruction video found on gdiaper.com on how to wear the diapers you shouldn’t have leaks. Which has been nice for our daughter’s clothing, no more having to soak and try to get out stains. Also we have 4 size mediums outer shells and 8 washable liners, we wash all them just once a week. (When washing please make sure to fasten up the velcro so it doesn’t snag on other clothes and so the velcro doesn’t wear down as fast.)

Right now we’re buying the disposable liners and sometimes flush the poos and throw out the others. It’s nice knowing that they will biodegrade faster then regular disposables. Once the summer comes and we have enough saved up we will be buying a composter and will compost the pee ones, saving the environment even more.

I love the convenience of these and will not go back. The only problem we are having right now is finding the inserts and when we find them they are a bit high of a price. I guess that’s the price we pay for living in Canada but still. I do want to say that even though the price is a bit high we will never change.

I LOVE gdiapers.

gdiapers

Ok, so we bought a set of gdiapers from a lady on kijiji for only $10. 4 Size small gdipaers outer shells, 7 inner liners, and 10 disposable pads. The disposables should last us two days for now. The lady told me she loved these diapers over any cloth diapers she has tried, even Bare Bottom Services. She was only selling them because they were done having kids and her daughter has moved on to size medium. She told me the 4 outer shells lasted her the week and the 7 inner liners worked for the week too, at the end of the week she throws it all in the laundry and start another week. She sold them cheap because she was hoping someone would buy them, try them and like them enough to start using them. Well her plan worked.

You can either flush, compost or throw out the disposables and the gdiapers site clams they will biodegrade in 50 days. There are only 3 sizes you will need to buy, however I think we’ll only need up to size medium before Maggie will be potty training, but we’ll see.

The size smalls work for Maggie right now but she’s already almost too big for them. Hopefully we can find a set of size medium for a really good price soon.
