I bought a pack of gDiapers yesterday in preparation for our trip to Connecticut at the end of the month. We cloth diaper right now, and while it is lovely, the idea of toting around cloth diapers (clean OR dirty) over a few day trip is a little off-putting. At any rate, I picked up a starter pack and now Matthew’s as snug as a bug in a pair of gDiapers and I’m finding myself oddly excited about when I can next change his diaper so I can see how absorbent his new digs are.

I’m kicking myself a little, though, for picking up a small starter kit. The small sizes go from 6-13lbs, and I figured Matthew would be just skating by at the 11 pound mark, since he’s kind of scrawny. I should have probably gone for the mediums. Ah, well. It fits, but I had to wiggle it a little. We’ll see how they hold up the day before we leave for Connecticut, at which point if they still fit and fit well, I’ll head back up to Whole Foods and pick up a refill pack. If they don’t fit, I’ll probably pick up a pack of Seventh Generation diapers, which are pretty baby-butt and earth-butt friendly. At any rate, if it doesn’t fit well and we like the whole gDiaper thing, we’ll probably pick up a medium/large (that goes from 13-26lbs) kit and refill for our next few trips later on this year.

Side note: I cannot imagine having a baby that big.

In doing some research behind the gDiaper thing, I found the blog of one of the two owners, here. I like the personal touch behind a corporate front.

Have you used gDiapers? What do you do when you travel if you use cloth and are loath to use store-brand disposables?

This entry makes me seem a lot more granola-y than I think I really am. All I need now is to switch to cloth menstrual pads or a Keeper and I think I’ll be all set.

(For the record, no on both accounts.)
