gdiapers give-away!April 8th, 2008 @ 7:01 am
I shared with you last week all about how The King and I are now using flushable diapers for Babboo. We love gDiapers and all that they stand for! We feel better knowing that Babboo’s diapers won’t sit in a landfill for a gazillion years, and instead will biodegrade in 50 days.
Plus, look at how cute they are!
gDiapers are the best of cloth and disposable in an earth-friendly hybrid diaper. They consist of a reusable, cloth outer pants (called the “little g”) and a plastic-free refill that you can FLUSH (or compost, or just throw away). gDiapers are very breathable, so Babboo’s little tushy stays drier (which is helping with his diaper rash). The gDiapers flushable refills contain no plastic, no elemental chlorine, no perfumes, no inks or dyes, no latex, and best of all, no guilt!
I know a lot of readers are interested in what the cost comparison between gDiapers and other diaper systems is. gDiapers cost about the same as other alternative disposables. Yes, they are slightly more expensive ($3-4 more per week) then mainstream disposables, but really, isn’t a happy planet worth a few dollar a week?
Seriously, how can you not feel good about helping the planet?!
Good news for those of you who are anxious to try gDiapers, but not sure where to start, because this week….
That’s right, I’m giving away one gDiapers Starter Kit, which includes: 2 “little g” pants (Babboo has golden orange and genuine vanilla bean), 10 plastic-free, flushable refills, a swishstick and a H.U.G (handy user’s guide).
To enter this give-away, just leave a comment on this post. You have until Friday at midnight (PST) to post your comment. The winner will be announced on Monday the 14th.
Good luck, and remember, even if you don’t have a need for diapers, gDiapers make a wonderful gift.

Okey-doke, you’ve talked me into considering them. I’m not sure our plumbing is up to the task, but maybe I’m wrong. And if not, there’s still less to dump in the landfill.

but what an awesome giveaway! I think these are the coolest things ever and I’m totally going to give them as gifts in the future once my friends start having more babies.

Very nifty! I’d love to do this when we have kids - otherwise diapers seem so awful on the environment. It also seems far easier than cloth diapers.

Ack! What a great giveaway!! This could actually be the push I need to start using these…I’ve thought about it since your previous post.

This is a great giveaway, especially since we’re planning on using these on our little one when she gets here and have yet to get it together enough to go buy a starter kit. Everytime I read about someone who loves them it makes me more convinced that they are the way to go. Count me in!

With a 22-month old and a new baby on the way, I am sure that our diaper disposal is having an impact on the environment. I would welcome the opportunity to check out other options. Besides, if my kids’ tush looks as cute as Baboo’s in the photo, who could resist?

I have yet to catch up on the New to Us blog, so this is the first I’m hearing of these diapers, but they sound so cool! It’s like the best of both worlds between cloth and disposable. If I win this giveaway, I’m definitely giving the kit to my brother and his wife. I don’t know if they’ve even thought about what kind of diapers they’re going to use, but I bet they’d love to try these.
Marilyn

April 8, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Heck ya! I would love to try these out.
I’m currently up to my eyeballs in disposable diapers and am starting to feel a tad guilty about the impact just my family is having on the environment these days. Perhaps this is the answer?

My husband and I have been weighing our options of cloth vs. disposable diapers for our first (soon-to-be) child. This sounds like a wonderful compromise!

I have never heard of these before! I am so excited about them. I cant wait to try them out!!
I just bought some regular disposable diapers and was thinking that there has got to be something better out there (besides the regular cloth diapers…yuck!) I can’t wait to tell my friends about them!!! Great idea!!
Carrie
said,
April 8, 2008 at 3:49 pm
I actually wanted to buy these diapers since before I was even pregnant! But somehow, he’s a year old and we still haven’t gotten them. I’m still DYING to use them because my husband and I are trying to be more “green.” I figure they’re a lot easier than REAL cloth diapers, and since I hate doing laundry these are perfect!

Hi .. de-lurking. Love your blog ..
I’m the mom of 4 kiddos .. the latest is just 1 month old. Trying to get the almost 3 year old off of those icky diapers …. she won’t budge !! go figure. My older boys were potty trained by 2 1/2 … she is a tad stubborn!!!
Anyways … Thanks for the good read!

Awesome idea, Isabel. I hear more and more people using cloth diapers and such. I don’t know if they are right for our family, but you never know until you try right?

I DO need diapers, as my son refuses to acknowledge the existence of the potty.
But, um, what is the “swishstick” for? Because that scares me just a little…
Kim

April 8, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Don’t consider me for the giveaway. I just wanted to say that they come up with cooler and neater ideas all the time. My baby days are over but this would have been nice to have back in the old days…9 years ago.

I need those! I am so serious! I looked into them once, and I sooooo wanted to buy some, but it costs twice as much per insert as I pay for disposables. Nicky is currently wearing a prefold cloth diaper with vinyl pants. VINYL PANTS!!!! Do you know how happy I would be to have that starter kit?? I could slowly eliminate the vinyl pants!!!
Of course, since this is a random giveaway, I don’t think anything I say will help me win them. I will just wish on a star for them because I heart them.

Here’s the deal. I’ve just recently started trying to be more aware of conserving energy and the whold ‘green’ idea. (It all started with Clorox Greenworks!). I’d be willing to give gdiapers a try! Count me in, swistle stick and all!

Dude, Babboo’s little bum is adorable!
You know I’d love to try these…I don’t know how our plumbing would hold up here at home (it’s really old) but they’d be perfect for being out and about and for when we go to Portland!

This is an awesome giveaway! I use cloth and disposable for Courtney - she leaks out of our cloth diapers, though, because it’s hard to get the leg holes tight enough around her tiny thighs.

I’d love to try ‘em! Potty training isn’t quite working yet, and we’re firmly still in diaper days. And, dang, gdiapers are so much cuter than those crappy cartoon characters!

anyway, these look cool…i will check them out. it’s sure worth the extra few dollars to save my kid’s dirty diapers from sitting in a landfill for 100years.
good on u for going green.

April 9, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Well, since the Professor seems to be too sensitive to all but one type of diaper we have tried, I would love to try out these if they are helpful with rashes,etc. Also, since our garbage production has tripled since the Professor was born, I wouldn’t mind cutting down on that too!!! Hooray for G-diapers!!!

How cool! I’m glad to see they’re not infinitely more expensive than other diapers, and I’m sure after a while you get used to the flushing. I’d love to try them out on Jack (seriously, those diaper covers are so cute) and see if I could use them for our next baby.
Isabel, have you used them at night? How are they on leakage? Have you had any blow-outs (which I realize are highly more common in infants than toddlers)? Will they use them at Babboo’s school? I did love hearing that they are better for diaper rash, which Jack’s been getting a lot lately.
