gDiapers
Filed in archive Shopping on January 28, 2007
I still remember the time when my younger sisters were still in diapers... cloth diapers. Even then, I realized how much work it was for my parents to use cloth diapers on their kids. Unfortunately, they did not have any choice.
My, am I glad that when my time came, pampers have already made its way to the homes of several other parents. But, not all parents were as glad as I was. Environmentally-conscious parents were bothered by disposable diapers.
Well, now is the time for these parents to be glad. With gDiapers, there will be no more guilt about all those waste. In addition, you can now say goodbye to chemicals, latex and plastics. Oh yea, it's flushable!
"gDiapers are designed to keep your baby dry and comfortable and the earth a little happier.
gDiapers have no elemental chlorine, perfumes, smell, garbage or guilt.
Sure, the whole idea of Flushing takes some getting used to. But then so did recycling and you probably don't even remember life before you started separating your paper from your glass. Please make sure to go through this section of the website carefully as there are many tips and tricks that can help with both fit and flushing!"
Not only are gDiapers functional and earth-friendly, they're fashionable, too!!!

i love gdiapers but the cost is more expensive than disposables (yes they are eco-friendly, but we aren't millionares) so I have found that you can buy cotton babies one size inserts ( a cloth piece the same size as the flushable insert). I use the cloth insert while at home and the flushable while I am out and it saves me money and is still more convenient than cloth

Gdiapers are still plastic, and these diapers contain the same chemical that occurs in regular disposable diapers, known as SAP (sodium polyacrylate polymer) AKA "superabsorbent" liners.
Our County Wastewater Treatment Division, which operates major sewage
treatment plants serving the Seattle area, asks that no one flush this material down the toilet.
My husband is a wastewater engineer and the pulp from gdiapers does not "Disappear", and in fact causes issues in household plumbing as well as at the plant. The biosolids (which is what the SAP is considered) that are removed from wastewater treatment plants are typically sent to landfills, just like disposable diapers.
Out of sight, out of mind?
Cloth is still the best option, just not for people who want "easy".
