gDiaper update
I started using gDiapers last spring with Abby and enjoyed them immensely at first for all the obvious reasons--they're super cute, and I felt like I was doing something good. I bought some microfiber cloth inserts from BumGenius which fit well inside the liners and made it sort-of cloth diaper. It got to be annoying to assemble the whole package, though--find a clean liner, snap in all four snaps, fit in a microfiber cloth, and top with rice paper (since microfiber shouldn't go directly against baby's skin). Too much work. Ben's cousin Nalani gave me a set of Fuzzi Bunz which are much simpler. Last week I brought the gDiapers out again to give them a try (I've had them for 8 months now) and have noticed that the liners leak like a sieve. Not leaking out the side of the leg, but they are simply not waterproof anymore. The minute she pees or poops, the whole pant is soaked. So disappointing! I checked the website and it states under FAQs that the liner is coated with waterproofing, like a jacket, and this waterproofing only lasts 6 months. I wish I would have known this before I invested in 6 additional diapers! I emailed customer service to see if there is anyway to restore the waterproofing, and they suggested I buy more liners ($5 for 2), which will again only last for 6 months. My recommendation is to just go for cloth (Fuzzi Bunz or Bum Genius)--much easier and less maintenance.
