I used gdiapers for about a year with my first child (until she was potty trained), and now I'm expecting baby #2 and trying to stock up on small gdiapers! Great post!

That's amazing! Do you know if any of the stores still have them? I am in California but would love a deal like that. Twin packs of gDiapers here are $20 something and 40 flushables are $15 normally. Maybe you could pick up extras and we can pay you a premium?! Diane! That’s amazing! Do you know if any of the stores still have them? I am in California but would love a deal like that.

I only discovered Gdiapers while potty training my son and used the small disposable inserts in his big boy underwear for a couple of days to help the process along and now I'm a full convert with baby #3. As for cost, I calculate .26 per disposable liner (which we only use on long outings) because I insist on scrounging up a $2 off coupon before I buy a pack. They come with the gpants, too. I'm now saving my barcodes to use the gthanks program for discounts... Where there's a will there's a way, huh? I really love my gcloth inserts. So slim from what I was used to with my first two babies... But I even use my old prefolds in medium gdiapers. I have em, why not? One last thing (I know, get your own blog)... The best answer I've found for solid waste is the bumgenius diaper sprayer. Attaches to your toilet and allows you to spray any solids into the toilet (with a surprising amount of water pressure!) and flush it. Then I use a lidded wet pail next to the toilet with a little Borax to drop diapers in til laundry day. Easy and cheap! Sorry so long!

I know when we have to get disposable diapers - for church nursery, mostly - we get the chlorine free kind which are about $0.40 a piece. I think that's what G disposable inserts end up being if you buy them by the case. All of the 'much cheaper' statements in this post though, are certainly for the reusable gCloth inserts. Good luck!

I am apparently not an A student. They worked just fine for us. The reason they suggest multiple washes before using is that the materials get more absorbent and soft as they are washed. Since we wash them after they get dirty (surprise!) they were washed "6 times" soon enough. I am so glad you are trying the cloth inserts! Let me know if you have any more questions! Hi Leah,

We also are using gdiapers and have been for about a month now but I recently purchased the cloth inserts, based on your recommendation! Now - I need help! Am I supposed to wash the inserts six times, then finally dry? orrr do I wash and dry six times?? Thanks! Hey Allison – I love the whole site!

(I think that's correct, we did the math about a year ago now, I know it was in the upper 30s.) We use cloth inserts 90% of the time. The disposables are what we change OBaby into when we are out so that we only have to pack home cloth insert. He is in cloth at home. So, because we use cloth, I priced out the amount we spent on supplies for first 2 sizes (approx enough for him to wear until 1yr6mo) plus the cost of 2 loads of laundry and it was equal to the first 9 months in chlorine-free disposables. Let me know if you have any more questions! -AllisonO Hi Tay,
