The Hybrid Cloth Diaper System
September 23, 2009 by Jennifer
This month we’ve been looking at alternatives to traditional disposable baby diapers. Next up on the list is the hybrid, or gDiaper.
gDiapers are a unique diaper hybrid in that they’re reusable, flushable and compostable. They’re composed of three elements a washable outer cotton layer (the little G pant) which comes in all sorts of cool designs and colors, a washable waterproof inner layer, and a flushable absorbing insert.
The insert works to absorb liquids, and to manage this contains SAP, that possible toxin I mentioned in the Non-Biodegradable Eco-Disposable Diapers post. gDiaper of course takes the approach that SAP is non-toxic and safe, but the verdict is still out on that one. Still, because it’s compostable, this is a greener option than disposable diapers and meets the leery of cloth diaper users half way.
You really should check around before using these though. I’ve heard plenty of mixed reviews. Love, hate, and all sorts of in-between opinions abound. Plus gDiapers cost more than other disposable alternatives.
