Call Us Crazy

Or later you can tell us "I told you so," but we're giving the cloth diaper bit a trial. With a little twist... these are hybrid cloth diapers, otherwise known as gdiapers. They have a cloth exterior with Velcro® tabs and...

A removable plastic snap liner, which contains a disposable insert. Or one might use a cloth insert. The disposable option obviously makes it the hybrid. But instead of taking 500+ years to decompose, it takes two months. We're not trying to be weird, we just think this makes sense. Figuring how many diapers a babe goes through in a day/week/year, that's a pretty hefty plastic footprint. And expensive one at that. So we'll keep you posted, but for now, we are sold on them, and hope it is a successful venture.

Hi Missy
We tried those, they leaked too much. Perhaps your baby's butt will fit in them better. We use bumGenius now.

Eureka!! I stumble over here from Fraught the very day I am studying the gdiapers! (Looked at the BumGenius a couple weeks ago, too.)

Due end of October and I def want to go the cloth route. The *easiest* cloth route.

I may have to pick your brain!!
