Summary: Wonderful diapers! Worth the cost!
Comment: As a mother of 5 kids I have used both disposables and cloth over my 11 years of diapering...and now gdiapers! I love that gdiapers are biodegradable and better for the earth than disposables. I love that I don't have to wash a seperate load of laundry just for diapers! I especially love that I can flush away the messes and not have a diaper pail full of festering diapers! I have not had one single leak with these diapers (including overnight!) and they are so much cuter than disposables! I was also amazed at how trim they are! They are a bit thicker than disposables, but not by a lot. All of her clothes still fit easily over the gdiaper. When cleaning up a poopy diaper, I wipe her with flushable wipes (I love the Huggies flushables) and flush the wipes right with the diaper! I haven't had a clog yet!
The only downside to these diapers are the cost of the flushable liners. They are significantly more expensive than disposable diapers and it's been really hard for me to live with that extra cost! Daily I search online diaper forums looking for good deals...people who bought too many and are selling off their leftovers cheap. Also, Amazon offers 15% off if you sign up for regular devlieries. My baby is about to grow out of the small size, so I don't want to order 160 refills, but I will probably sign up for it once she is in mediums. Using Amazon's 15% off, small refills are 27.6 cents each. A little more expensive than disposables but not too outragous!
The bottom line is that I love these diapers. They are the best of both worlds! I wish they had been invented years ago so I could have used them with more than just my last child!! I recommend everyone gives them a try. The starter pack is reasonably priced and gives you everything you need to give it a good try. If it turns out that you don't like the system, sell the pants on Craigslist (or ebay or diaperswappers) and you will just about make your money back! The risk to you is very little with the starter pack! Happy diapering!

Summary: Cloth Diaper Wrap Alternative
Comment: Taking the cue from some of the other reviewers here, I decided to try these as a cloth diaper wrap. This review is specifically about using these for that purpose as I have not tried the flushables yet.
PROS:
1. Cheaper than most cloth diaper wraps. Others are closer to twenty bucks a pop and this is only $13 per wrap if you purchase the starter kits.
2. Removable liner (this might be a con later...). When stool goes out the side, the removable liner catches it most of the time and you can simply wash those instead of the whole cover. This makes it so you can buy less of the covers (again making it cheaper than most other wrap options) and just wash the liners.
3. These are pretty cute. They look bulkier with the cloth inserts in but they are still cute and they are nice and soft for baby.
Cons:
1. I don't know about other cloth wraps but the stools often do go off the prefold onto the liner. This means that most of the time, you have an extra step in the changing process - removing the liner and rinsing it out and either hanging it to dry or putting it in the hamper for cleaning. This is sorta wierd because it requires you to leave baby while you go to the sink. For younger babies that are pooping many times a day, this may not be desireable. Not sure if other cloth wraps have the same problem.
All in all, we have been pleased with this set-up. It is a little extra work but we will commit to it to help the environment. Another side note for those considering using these for cloth wraps: The weight limits are for using these with the flushables which are about half as think as a prefold. If you are close to the weight limit, you might go ahead and buy the next size up because you have to fit a larger prefold in there which makes the fit more snug.

Summary: gdiapers
Comment: I had seen these online and figured that since we are trying to go more green that we would give them a try. We have been really pleased. They are really simple to use and better yet NO MORE STINK in the house. The only thing is I wish they would come up with a flushable and biodegradable wipe. Because you can flush the gdiaper insert but then you are still left with a dirty wipe to throw away.

Summary: Still getting the fit down
Comment: It takes some finesse to make a gDiaper fit well enough to stop leaks. As I get better at putting them on my baby, I'm getting fewer leaks. They don't do well with very messy diapers--some poop is bound to get on the cloth g pant about half of the time and the liners get poop residue on them at each pooping. I love that the inserts are flushable and plan to continue using them because of the environmental friendliness. These work much better than Tushies brand diapers and almost as well as Seventh Generation size 1 diapers. My biggest gripe is the fact that you have to buy the cloth pants AND inserts. The inserts are basically no more than a wide maxi pad and cost more than regular diapers. The whole set up turns into quite an expense. I have two starter kits and that is working ok for part-time use. I would get another kit for full-time use.

Summary: The Perfect Diapers
Comment: Love these!!! My mother discovered these while I was still awaiting the big day our little guy would make his entrance into the world. I am so glad she did! The liners can be tossed without fear of them lasting forever in a landfill if your plumbing is older like ours. And they have never leaked on our little man, while both the newborn diapers from huggies and pampers leaked every time! Just take the time to educate yourself on the product at thier website (only takes a few minutes)- they have tutorial videos which shows you every detail and all the tips and tricks for sucess with these awesome diapers. Happy diapering!
