Just like any new mom, I am learning quite a lot about what new babies really need. It takes energy to care for a creature who hasn’t yet learned to eat on their own, walk on their own, or even go to the bathroom on their own. As a result I felt that I was changing my son’s diaper constantly throughout the day. The biggest problem with changing eight to ten diapers a day isn’t in wiping a cute little bum, but disposing of so much waste.

It is ironic that the newest and freshest creatures on the planet seem to also produce the most substantial amount of waste. I soon learned that the bags full of diapers that I threw away only added to the fifty million that were dumped daily. The most unfortunate element is that these piles of poopy diapers that have taken the place of beautiful acres of land, will remain there for about five hundred years before they decompose.

Luckily for us, brilliant people exist that see not only problems, but their solutions. While I am not one of these people, I have discovered many ingenious alternatives to this diaper disposal issue. Maybe by spreading the news about these products, I will feel like I have helped in conserving the wonderful plains of our country’s land.

The most exciting product on the market today is naturally referred to as “gDiapers.” Like we have already established, my opinion means very little, but the famous mothers like Julia Roberts have preferred this product for their little ones. An ingenious family from Australia have struck gold, or should I say green, with this trendy, sleek, and yet flush-able diaper.

This product comes with an outer diaper covering that you can order in nearly any color or print imaginable, with a replaceable, removable pad inside. You very simply snap in the absorbent pad, and then when it’s full and wet, you take it out and flush it! Even the outer diaper fabric is machine washable. Compared to all the other alternatives I’ve seen, this ranks far superior to any of them.

Don’t be a fool to assume that only those in Julia Robert’s position can afford these diapers. They are very reasonably priced. gDiapers.com offers a starter package that is about $26.99 complete with two diaper covers and ten refills to get you going. Purchased separately, the coverings of all colors range in price from $15.99 to $18.99 while the refills are priced at $52 for packages of 128. That makes each diaper change a mere 40 cents.

In comparison with the current disposable brands, you’re talking about 27 cents for each Pampers diaper, 22 cents per Huggies diaper, and a mere 15 cents per Luvs Premium diaper, approximately on average. But the truth is that the green that gDiapers for a couple extra dimes, is far more substantial than anything you can fit into your wallet. For that reason alone, the price comparison seems inconsequential.

Another proven company is the Seventh Generation that specialized in green, environmentally safe products of many kinds. Their diapers in particular are chlorine free, and biodegradable. This product along with the gDiapers are fully explained and available on their websites that will do them much more justice than I can. The land of our country will be much more worth having when we take care to prevent even our cutest little bums from polluting it.

Now there is an alternative. Something new for infants, G diapers.

G diapers are a mix between disposable diapers and cloth diapers. This can be a great compromise for new moms who just can’t handle cloth diapers.

G diapers are a new flushable diaper. They are environmentally friendly, since you flush them down the toilet they do not add to the landfill. Babies are less likely to get diaper rash as they are “breathable”. They are comfortable and easily fit most infants.

There is no elemental chlorine, no perfumes leaving your child less likely to react badly to these diapers.

These diapers are cute, coming in nice colors and not bulky ~ which can be a problem with cloth diapers. They also fit snugly to help contain leaks.

The process of using a g diaper is pretty easy. You receive a two part system. The cute “g pants”, and an absorbent insert. You insert the pad into the snap in liner and you are good to go. When the pad becomes soiled you simply unsnap and pull open the pad. You then dispose of it in the toilet by giving it a little swish with the swish stick (which is provided).

Many parents are finding the new g diapers for infants are curing terrible cases of diaper rash. Many state they have tried many different diapers but had no luck curing their infants diaper rash until they found the g diapers.

If you are looking for an alternative to both cloth diapers and disposables you might find that g diapers are the new diaper for infants.
