gDiapers Flushable Diapers???
Who would have thought that years ago, there would be biodegradable, earth friendly diapers? What a mouthful! Even though my boys are out of diapers, I was intrigued by these " gdiapers", so off I went researching and found out some interesting facts not only about " gdiapers" but diapers in general, boy how things change! No more is there only the choice of cloth or disposable diapers.
What does the "g" stand for?
green, grow, genuine, global, genius, grace, generous, golly gee, glee, gorgeous, garden, groovy, grand, glow, goo goo, gem, giggle, gaily, gentle, grateful, ga ga, good, glimmer, and giddy... you get the idea.Fair Dinkum is an Australian expression that means being genuine and real with everyone you encounter. Well put. That is the philosophy behind " gdiapers" and towards their business, their people and the planet.
Saving Our Landfills
Would you be surprised to know that 50 million disposable diapers enter the landfill every day, where they sit for up to 500 years!! You'd be amazed how much baby poop from disposable diapers ends up in the landfill where the potential health risk and ground water contamination from viruses and bacteria in feces are real threats.Flushable Diapers inserts break down and sends everything to the wastewater treatment facility where it can be treated safely with the rest of our human waste and where valuable nutrients can be recovered.
Because Earth Friendly Diapers are flushable, they don't have to end up in a landfill. They go down the toilet. That means no over-flowing garbage cans and no smelly diaper pail full of poopy diapers in your baby's room.
What causes Diaper Rash
Diaper Rash is mainly caused by skin wetness and allergic reactions. Urinary wetness raises the skin pH and make the skin sensitive to additives. This intensifies with stool enzymes and other irritants that inflame the skin. By using Earth Friendly or Chlorine Free Diapers this lessens the irritants on your babies skin to reduce Diaper Rash.Diapers that are plastic free are breathable and reduce wetness. Plastic holds in the wetness. Diapers that do not contain any chlorine, perfumes, inks or dyes will also reduce allergic reactions, which can be another cause of diaper rash.

Get The Perfect Fit
Get the perfect fit and a snug little bum.Babies come in all shapes and sizes. So, it may take a few tries to find the perfect fit for your baby.
* Close velcro tabs at the back away from little hands.
* gdiapers fit up snug between baby's legs. The liner rests in the crease of your baby's leg. Just like underwear.
* gDiapers, like all diapers need to be changed every 2-4 hours for a dry, happy baby.
The waistband and tabs.
The soft elastic waistband fits around your baby's waist. This means it is higher in the back and dips down below the belly in the front. The fit should be snug but not tight.
When closing the tabs, make sure the back of the tab is sitting straight along the waist, and not angling down.
Making the seal.
The soft trim on the snap-in liner makes the seal. Be sure it is hugging your baby's legs.
Red marks vs. skin irritation.
Mild red marks or gentle indentations in your baby's skin are generally not harmful. It's the same as when you get sheet marks on your body from sleeping. However, red rubbing or skin irritation is not OK.
Flushing Not Your Thang??? No Worry!!
Flushing Not Your ThingIf you do home composting, which many people are finding a great way of recycling their garden and green waste at home, you can add the urine soiled (the wet ones) flushables into the mix. In 50-150 days they'll completely decompose becoming a welcome addition to your garden. Now that's a sustainable diaper system. NOTE: NEVER COMPOST THE POOPY ONES! THEY MUST BE FLUSHED!!!
