The gDiaper is a brand of semi disposable diapers which claims to have environmental integrity.
Design
The gDiaper design consists of a machine washable outer pant, machine washable, water-resistant inner liner, and an absorbent inner pad – a flushable insert. The flushable insert contents include elemental-chlorine-free, farmed tree fluff pulp and super absorber called SAP (sodium polyacrylate). When ready to dispose of the flushable insert, parents tear along the perforation, empty the contents into a toilet, stir, and flush. The wet flushable inserts can alternatively be composted. The outer pant features back closure to prevent infants and toddlers from removing the diaper themselves. [1]
gDiapers are available in a variety of colors.
gDiapers can also be used with a cloth diaper insert, instead of the flushable insert. Cottonwood Baby makes a hemp/cotton insert designed to fit in gDiapers.
History
Co-founders are Jason and Kimberley Graham-Nye. gDiapers began being sold in 2004. gDiapers are modeled after the design of Bohny Babies Ltd, New Zealand, "eenie" type diapers. [2]
Certification
gDiapers has received the Cradle to Cradle Design Certification Award, through William McDonough and McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC).[3]
