Anyone tried gDiapers?

In the ongoing debate between cloth diapers vs. disposable diapers, I wonder where the gDiapers fit in? The diapers are comprised of an outer cotton “little g” pant and a flushable, plastic-free refill that snaps into place. Or if your toilet can’t accommodate the liner, you can compost the pee soaked liners in the garden. Sounds too good to be true. So I watched the video how-to presentation on how to discard the dirty diaper and wasn’t impressed.

Here’s where idealism and reality often collide for me. I have good intentions, I really do. But I’m tired and busy and this looks like more work than cloth diapers. All the fussing with the snaps, the pulling the liners apart and the worst thing - the swish stick! I handle enough poop as it is, do I really want to swish it around and chop it up with a stick too? And what is my crazed toddler supposed to be doing while I am standing over an open toilet fiddling with his dirty diaper? Heaven forbid he ever get his hands on that swish stick, which will be his sole obsession once he sees me using it.

I’d love to hear any feedback from those of you who have actually used these diapers. Yay or nay?

    I think you’re right, sounds like more work than it’s worth. I feel like the only time I would bother with gdiapers was if I was traveling and it was really difficult to take cloth. Any cloth diaper is much easier than you first might suspect and with all the pockets and AIOs avaliable there is something for everyone.
