I started off w 7gen and using cloth 1 size fits all fuzzybunz. I love the fuzzybunz when her poops were small and not that stinky (I nursed till baby was 6m). Now we are on real food w bigger and smellier poops so I’m using 7gen again. My solution … Gdiapers w the fuzzybunz cloth inserts. It took a bit of working w 1 or 2 inserts, but we are figuring it out. Now I don’t have to deal w cleaning cloth poopies, which I like a lot!

Really like the updated review, sad to see that the leaking issue still persists in the latest free and clear versions, verified when we reviewed them here:

Thank you for your opinion on these wonderful diapers. I started out with cloth gdiapers and went to seventh generation and am now using 365. I’ve liked all of them. Loved seventh generation and 365. However after reading this I am going to try to go back to the g cloth. I had a lot of leak problems in the beginning but maybe they wouldn’t be as bad now. I know (after talking in depth with the gdiapers customer service) the washing regimen can help out the absorbancy with the cloth.
Thanks again!

I would like to share a website with you. It was a “Marketplace” program about “natural” products. Some of them are scams, and what is worse is that some of these products are baby products. 7th generation diapers are no better than other diapers, except that they are dyed to look “natural”! Their “chlorine-free” claim is bogus as well, since all diapers are chlorine free. Check out the company responses to their “natural” labels claims!

i have just switched to traditional cloth diapers from g’s and they are so much easier!!! i really wanted to love g diapers but they are not all they’re hyped to be.
i hate to admit that i totally fell for the flashy packaging and great colors, but as a cloth diaper, they suck.

i really liked and had very few problems with the tiny g’s when i used the disposable inserts, but when i used the cloth insert each and every diaper leaked, so i decided to just use the disposable inserts for the tiny size and save the cloth inserts for when we moved up to the size small. once we moved up to the size small again, very few problems with the disposables but every cloth insert leaked (not just onto the liner, but onto the cloth pant and beyond). we cannot use them! we tirelessly trouble shot our use of the cloth inserts until two weeks ago when i realized that diapering should not be so difficult and made the switch to traditional cloth diapers, and to my surprise they are quicker to change (when using the snappis in place of pins) and way cheaper! and zero leaks! we are still using g’s with the disposable inserts when we travel, but at home we are loving the traditional cloth diapers!

a great source is greenmountaindiapers.com
amazing customer service, crazy fast shipping and they practically hold you hand in the switch to cloths! for the covers i’m really happy with the organic cotton imse vimsey and love love love the wool biobottoms.

Thanks so much for your detailed review. My husband and I started shopping for diapers for our baby due in Jan. Today I stood in the diaper isle totally and utterly confused. Your “testing” and experience is really valuable! I saw the Gdiapers and think I will give them a try with the seventh generation or whole foods as a back up.

I have been a loyal customer of gdiapers since my baby was born. We started with the newborn bundle, then moved on to the smalls and now we are on the mediums. I have been really happy until last month when three of my medium diapers I purchased had velcro that didn’t work. I wrote their online customer service and Deborah a “diaper specialist” contacted me. She said she would send me velcro that i could use to replace on their diapers. I never received the velcro. It had been a month since my first contact and I had to use disposables (not happy with that) to get us by while we waited. I wrote Deborah again saying at this point in time I think they should replace my diapers. She reminded me that the velcro that i didn’t receive was “FREE” and said she would mail out the velcro once again. I reminded her that the diapers I have been using while waiting weren’t free and that the diapers I had purchased from them weren’t free. The three diapers alone were 54 dollars and that doesn’t include tax and shipping! I am shocked. I hope that isn’t the way the want to do business and just a bad seed. It has been a week since my last email and I still have not received my FREE velcro. They were to ship from Oregon and I live in California….

Thanks for your post! My son has been wearing gDiapers for the last 9 months, and although the first couple months were tricky, the last 7 months have been great! Hardly any leaks and easy to use. Unfortunately, he’s been growing out of his size several pounds before the weight limit (now he’s 28 lbs!) and I was hoping to find a new compostable diaper system that goes larger than gDiapers, since it only goes up to 36 lbs. I haven’t found one yet.

Jamie – I’ve heard that the gDiaper cloth inserts don’t work as well (and as long) as the compostable inserts, but I didn’t try them.

I would really suggest trying BumGenius 3.0 One size diapers if you are thinking of going cloth but are used to disposables…They make an awesome Toilet attachment to spray the diapers down as well. We have used them with my son since birth and LOVE them for their simplicity! We also use Seventh Generation when we travel or are out and about. I found your blog since we are thinking of switching to gDiapers for our “disposable” option (we love Seventh Generation yet have been strugling with the fact that they sit in the landfill)… This blog has been so very helpful, thank you !

I was wondering if you have ever tried the cloth inserts for the gdiapers instead of the flushable ones. We are about to have baby #6 and for many reasons we are looking into cloth. I came across these today and thought that they looked great and worth trying. I really don’t mind having to rinse the cloth inserts out and washing them. I was just curious to see how they worked compared to the disposable liners. Thanks!
