  • I was looking at these (0 / 0)

    I don't think they're called gDiapers in Oz, but they have the same product. We used disposable with Jess without being too fussed by it. From my pov, with our neck of the woods being in severe drought, forgoing an extra wash or two a week by using disposables was more sustainable. Plus they were so nice and absorbant... But now that Jess is potty trained for all but the overnights, we're at the end of the discussion with her.

    With the next one (touch wood!), I'm thinking of going a combo of gDiaper during the day and disposable at night/when out for a long time. Cuts down on the enviro waste, but still keeps the convenience.

    • They're Eenie Weenies here (0 / 0)

      I have a bunch of friends that absolutely loved them. I wasn't a huge fan (leaks, had to wash the covers way more than I really wanted to), but I can see that with a different shaped kid they'd be great. If I had a third (heaven forfend!!!), I'd try them again.

      • differently shaped? (0 / 0)

        I know your kids are on the low end of the growth curve, so was it that they were just too big? We had that problem with a lot of brands here - no Baby Love, no Huggies, no Mamias from Aldi.

        I've seen the photos of your DD and DH and I have both commented that our girls look an awful lot alike in body shape, so if it's a matter of tiny booty, let me know!

        • I don't know... (0 / 0)

          They just seemed to slip at the wrong moment. It could be that they are just too big, or it could be that my kids are so active that diapers just don't stay put. I don't know. But after cleaning the poo out of the elastic for the tenth time, I went back to disposables.

    • Yep... (0 / 0)

      gDiapers are originally an Australian product. (the American distributors are trying to be cute with the name choice...)
