gDiapers: Flush, Compost or Toss

Bet you never thought you would hear those words when it comes to diapers. gDiapers are flushable, compostable and tossable, just what the environment ordered; a diaper that disintegrates in a time span of less than 500 years. Parents can have the convenience of a disposable diaper and a clear conscious. No longer do they have to feel guilty about contributing to the ever-growing trash and pollution problem.

Discard

Their interesting design allows parents to either flush the diaper refill down the toilet, compost the wet diapers (baby poo should not be composted), or toss the gDiaper refill in the trash. It will biodegrade in 90 days.

Design

The outer layer, called little g diaper pant, is made of cotton, and is washable. They come in several cool colors with cute names such as golly molly pink, grasshopper green to name a few. Between the little g diaper pant and the disposable diaper refill is a breathable waterproof lining which is changeable and easy to rinse out.

New Way of Changing

As with anything new, parents will have to get used to the new green way of changing diapers. Using gDiapers may initially feel awkward and will involve a little more time than using the more widely used disposable (non biodegradable) kind, but after a few diaper changes, it will become second nature.

The Gift that Keeps Giving

It's a great baby shower gift for the mom to be or an environmentally conscious mom. It's also a great gift for the environment. After all, depending upon how old you are, your old soiled diapers may still be hanging around in a trash heap somewhere and will still be there when your children have children (what an ugly thought).

gDiapers is one way to help us clean up our mess.
