gDiapers (also known as gNappies) is an innovative hybrid nappy system that is cute and kinder on the planet. The gPant is a colourful reusable nappy cover with a snap-in waterproof pouch on the inside. The pouch is then filled with washable cloth inserts such as the gCloth or a Little Lamb bamboo insert, or a 100% biodegradable disposable insert called the gRefill.
The gNappies gRefill is unlike other disposable nappies on the market and offers the convenience of a disposable for situations like camping, travelling and holidays, where a washing machine is not available. Most disposable nappies contain plastic that is estimated to take hundreds of years to biodegrade and which create massive amounts of rubbish, whereas wet gRefills can be composted or binned, and will break down naturally within 50-150 days. They are the only nappy to be certified "Cradle to Cradle", which means that everything that goes into them will go back to the earth in a neutral or positive way.
For regular use we recommend using reusable cloth inserts in your gPant nappy. When the cloth inserts are wet, they can be replaced with fresh ones and the gPant cover reused again.
If the pouch also gets dirty, it can be unsnapped and a new pouch snapped in, otherwise in between changes the pouch can be simply wiped down or aired. This means the cotton cover can be used multiple times before it needs to be washed, because the wetness and mess is contained within the pouch.
The gPant nappy is made from two layers of a soft and stretchy cotton/spandex fabric that feels like your favourite T-shirt. gNappies are closed with velcro tabs that fasten on the back of the hip, rather than the front, making it harder for toddlers to undo the nappy. The inner pouch is made from a patented waterproof fabric called "gBreathe" that lets your baby's delicate skin breathe, meaning less rash and more comfort. The gNappies system is an excellent daytime nappy, especially in summer and when out and about. The nappy is very slim and fits well under regular clothing.
gCloth inserts have been especially designed to fit into the pouch, but other cloth inserts can be used as well. Most babies will need two inserts layered on top of each other for the right absorbency, or one prefold folded into the pouch. Inserts that are stiffer and hold their shape well - meaning they don't curl up at the edges or bunch up easily - work best.
Small: gCloth S, Little Lamb Bamboo (small), Avo&Cado cotton prefold size 1, Pop-In night booster.
Medium/Large/XL: gCloth M/L, Little Lamb Bamboo (large), Muslins, Thirsties Stay Dry Duo insert.
Every gPant comes with one snap-in pouch. Extra pouches and gCloth and disposable inserts need to be ordered separately. The gDiapers Trial Pack allows you to try out the various options to find the right absorbency for your child and includes everything you need to get started.
For nights we recommend the TotsBots Bamboozle or Petit Lulu fitted nappy with a waterproof PUL cover such as the TotsBots Wrap or the Blueberry Capri. This is the most reliable and leakproof nighttime solution.
