Since the only waterproof layer is the gPouch, this became a real issue for us during testing. Every other cover we tested had either a PUL or TPU waterproofing laminate; unfortunately many of these covers were distinctly less soft and pliable, particularly the Kushies and Bummis.
However, as a pair, the gCloth insert when combined with the gPouch was not as comfortable as competing hybrid products. The cover is only offered with hook and loop velcro-like closures which fasten around the back. There are no snap options, which are our favorite.
In theory, these posterior closures help keep baby from ripping off their diaper, but it takes practice to get used to attaching the diaper around the back rather than in front.
In addition, we found this particular hook and loop system to be extremely strong, needing quite a bit of "umph" to remove or readjust the diaper. For grandparents or other caregivers, this system could certainly prove to be confusing and cumbersome. The gPant and gPouch can be re-used by replacing the wet insert with a dry one, that is, if wetness hasn't spilled over onto the gPant.
This feat is usually only possible if the insert is wet, not soiled. Like with most cloth diapers, the solid messes have more of a tendency to get all over the inside of the diaper, whether hybrid, pocket, or all-in-one.
It is rare for stool to remain on the insert only. So, on these occasions, the entire diaper will need to be washed. The gPouch that holds the insert in place is an added complication. While necessary because it is the ONLY waterproof barrier between the insert and cover, it is indeed an extra step in the laundering process.
The manufacturer suggests unsnapping it from the cover before washing, but constantly snapping and un-snapping those four snaps we felt became a tedious chore. There are a lot of moving parts with the gDiaper system, so anything to make the product easier to use would go a long way. In terms of laundering, there is not much give in this department. Though the gPant and gCloth liner can be machine-dried, the gPouch must be line-dried.
Unfortunately, however, we discovered that the gPouch retains stains easily. So, gPant pouches are sold separately in 6-packs when replacements are needed. Additionally, you MUST remember to reattach the hook and loop closures prior to putting them into the wash or else they will stick to everything and likely ruin your gPants and every other possible item like cloth wipes.
To add insult to injury, we found that the gPant's hook and loop closures don't hold up well with machine-drying, even after fastening the tabs. A solution? The company offers replacement hook and loop tabs upon request. However, YOU must remove the old ones and sew on the new ones yourself. Let's face it, with a little one s , who has the time? The snap-in waterproof pouch is a breathable nylon coated with polyurethane for waterproofness.
There seems to be a problem serving the request at this time. If you like the idea of cloth diapers for your baby but dont want to deal with their mess, consider gDiapers. This hybrid system involves reusable outer shells called gPants and absorbent disposable inserts. Designed to reduce landfill waste while also keeping babies dry, gDiapers are a hybrid diaper system.
The outer layer of the diaper is a pair of reusable gPants. They have an outer fabric layer and a snap-in pouch inside that holds the inserts in place. Disposable or cloth inserts are tucked inside the diaper pouch. Two types of diaper inserts are available for gDiapers. Use the ones that best meet your needs. Some find that switching back and forth between them meets all their needs:.
Disposable inserts are used one time then discarded but, as the insert is much smaller than a regular disposable diaper, inserts are more eco-friendly:. Skip to main content. Shop by Category.

They are my favorite inserts and my go-to inserts whenever I use pockets, covers, or gPants. The top layer absorbs and wicks the moisture away to the bottom layer so baby isn't uncomfortable and their skin is not jeopardized by coming into contact with a soggy urine soaked insert. I haven't had any staining in the 5 years we've been using the cloth inserts. The gPants are great because they are trim and not bulky.
I've had a few issues with the gPouches missing their snap or leaking - but the company recommends swapping out gPouches ever handful of months, which I didn't do. In that sense - it can get costly upfront. However; it still saves over having to buy disposables constantly.
These were the first cloth diapers we tried when we started out! They were wonderful. We loved the versatility of being able to use either cloth or disposables with gDiapers.
The refills are wonderful because of the biodegradable aspect and the fact that they were large enough for a bigger child and if you had a smaller child they could be folded. I only wish I could have been able to purchase them at more places than just at Babies R Us. The other thing I really loved about these diapers is the fact that my son was not able to take these off like he was other diapers because they closed in the back instead of the front.
It made it much more difficult for him to remove on his own. This was a HUGE plus in my mind! If you are a disposable user and considering the switch to cloth You can still do both if you want. Give it a shot. At first I was really excited about these, but they quickly fell to being just my third favorite diaper. First of all, I had a really hard time finding the supplies that I needed for these.
