gDiapers

This is my most idealized parenting fantasy: not using wasteful, environmentally damaging diapers. After reading many, many points about the environmental damage of disposable diapers (the third largest landfill filler, when less than 5% of the population uses them), I was set on finding something different.

The diapers are cloth with flushable inserts. The inserts can either be flushed, composted or disposed. They are designed to break down in 50-150 days. Which is quite impressive. They recommend 6 shells for each weight category, but I think with an immobile baby for the first 14lbs, four shells should be enough.

I've read some reviews about these diapers, that they're not great for blow-outs or newborns, but I can't find a similar product that can compare.
