We found that the cover often felt slightly damp to the touch. Since the only waterproof layer is the gPouch, this became a real issue for us during testing. Every other cover we tested had either a PUL or TPU waterproofing laminate; unfortunately many of these covers were distinctly less soft and pliable, particularly the Kushies and Bummis.
However, as a pair, the gCloth insert when combined with the gPouch was not as comfortable as competing hybrid products. The cover is only offered with hook and loop velcro-like closures which fasten around the back.
There are no snap options, which are our favorite. In theory, these posterior closures help keep baby from ripping off their diaper, but it takes practice to get used to attaching the diaper around the back rather than in front. In addition, we found this particular hook and loop system to be extremely strong, needing quite a bit of "umph" to remove or readjust the diaper. For grandparents or other caregivers, this system could certainly prove to be confusing and cumbersome.
The gPant and gPouch can be re-used by replacing the wet insert with a dry one, that is, if wetness hasn't spilled over onto the gPant. This feat is usually only possible if the insert is wet, not soiled.
Like with most cloth diapers, the solid messes have more of a tendency to get all over the inside of the diaper, whether hybrid, pocket, or all-in-one. It is rare for stool to remain on the insert only. So, on these occasions, the entire diaper will need to be washed. The gPouch that holds the insert in place is an added complication. While necessary because it is the ONLY waterproof barrier between the insert and cover, it is indeed an extra step in the laundering process.
The manufacturer suggests unsnapping it from the cover before washing, but constantly snapping and un-snapping those four snaps we felt became a tedious chore. There are a lot of moving parts with the gDiaper system, so anything to make the product easier to use would go a long way. In terms of laundering, there is not much give in this department.
Though the gPant and gCloth liner can be machine-dried, the gPouch must be line-dried. Unfortunately, however, we discovered that the gPouch retains stains easily. The poop almost always gets on the liner. I forgot to mention inserts. We use flushies at daycare so I only have about 24 cloth inserts. If I used them full time, I would have more.

I am so happy we found tiny gpants so that we did not have to use disposables for the first 10 weeks of their lives. One of my sons is super sensitve and blisters every time we put a Swadler diaper on him.
It broke my heart. Everyone kept telling us we were crazy to cloth diaper twins and with gDiapers we are winning that battle. I just wanted to share a little insight if it helps anyone! First off just wanted to say how much I love your blog! I just had a baby girl and have been using the tiny gpants.
I have not used gDiapers before but bought them because my Son now 18 mos was too small to fit in the BumGenius cloth diapers until he was about 3 months. I have some small gpants to go to next before she will be ready to use the bumGenius diapers. I was wondering how many liners to you have for each gpant? Also when you use the cloth pre-folds instead of the disposable liners do you put the pre-fold right against their skin? I personally like having a lot of extra liners— probably double the number of gPants.
I have an older toddler, so this works well and keeps poop off the cloth diaper for the most part. Oh thanks for this! If smalls are too big for the next one, I can temporarily use swaddlers if I need to. Your email address will not be published.
