gdiapers

if you're at all interested in cloth diapering, pop on over to my friend jaimey's blog and get in touch with her about gdiapers' everyday g's contest. i've never used gdiapers and i'm excited for the chance to try them out. i love that the liner is flushable and compostable as well - green and convenient.

update: if you have never tried gdiapers, now is the time! i ordered mine and am SO excited for them to come so i can start using them. i'll give a full report when we start, which will not be until kiddo hits 13 lbs. though, to fit into the medium size that we ordered. (she's already 11½ lbs. so it won't be long.) in the meantime, use coupon code g628Buquet to get $30 off a 6-pack of everyday g's. that's 44% savings! awesome!

speaking of green and convenient, we've been trying different brands and so far my favorite disposable diapers are made by nature babycare. we are still in 'sposies as we currently only have two cloth diapers that work without leaking. my mother is sewing up a storm down south and hopefully we'll be able to transition into cloth full-time when she comes up to visit in a couple weeks. in the meantime, the nature babycare are pretty nice as far as 'sposies go. much nicer than the huggies pure & natural that had previously held first place. according to the package and the website, the nature babycare are also compostable/degradable, so i feel [marginally] less guilty about throwing them out.

my problem with 'sposies is not just the impact on the environment but also just the sheer waste - i pay all this money for something the kiddo is just going to poop and pee in, and then i throw that money in the garbage with the poop. it just kills me. even more so when we have times like last night, when i took off her diaper for her bath and discovered that she had barely used it. a tiny bit of poop and pee. of course, i can't put that back on her, so in the trash it goes and i didn't even get my money's worth of poop- and pee-holding-capability. so, keep your fingers crossed that we can be in cloth as soon as possible, it will save my sanity.
