I have been using 7th generation until now and was really pleased with them. However, I always wanted a more eco-conscious option and really wanted to try the gDiapers all along. Reading all the good reviews, I ordered 2 sets of refills and the gPants. Here were the issues I noticed after just a few days of use:
1. Diapers are easy to use, so are the inserts.
2. The liner is nylon, and when the inserts fill up with urine, it leaks into the nylon insert, which in-turn wets the outer gPant. Happened each day that we used the diapers.
3. When the child poops, the poop was all over the liner, and sometimes the gPants. I don't care about that much, because I was washing the gPants as needed, but definitely an inconvenience.
4. These diapers did not work for overnight use for us. The urine leaked to the point that our child's pajamas, shirt and under-shirt were wet! YIKES. Basically, the inserts do not hold much urine, especially for a very active water loving kid.
5. The biggest issue was that the buttons that hold the nylon insert were digging into the child's insides. My babe is not a big or super tall kid; is average and still the the buttons gave him blisters by the 3rd-4th day of use. I was HORRIFIED! Am in the process of returning the diaper and the inserts, and hoping it all works out. And yes, I do know how to change diapers, have been doing it for over 2 years now ;)
The concept is great, and I am sure it works really well for some people. It just didn't work for us. I actually was so pumped up about the move to eco-friendly diapers, but alas! We are back to 7th gen for now.Get more detail about gDiapers Little gPants, 2 Pack, Large Assorted Colors.
