In an attempt to be more GREEN, me and Ryan decided to try out the 'g' diapers (we are still using regular diapers due to the convenience, at least for now). Basically the diapers are cloth on the outside with a refillable biodegradable insert on the inside. The inserts can be thrown away, flushed or put in a garden compost (there is no plastic on the diapers which is what makes it 100% biodegradable). They are also available in cloth which we did not purchase but may if Ryker ever develops a rash. The 'g' diapers are pretty easy to use (they just take a little extra time) and they are super cute.
Now, yesterday was the first day we used them and we were invited to our neighbor's house for dinner. Ryker dirtied his first ever 'g' and I changed him and flushed the evidence. There is a whole process to flushing the 'g' so that it will dissolve. I, apparently, neglected to complete the process appropriately and managed to clog my neighbor's toilet for several hours. Luckily, Ryan and Rick were able to fix the clog! We still plan on using these diapers however I think we are going to go with the tossing option!
Aww! They look so cute! Keep us updated on how they work for y'all. We've got some and we've got some of the disposable and cloth inserts to try. I've got a few other types of cloth diapers to try too.
