G diapers are a tragic hybrid between the inconvenience of cloth and the ecological impact of disposable. In this aboration, the disposable bit is a ”flushable” liner, while the reusable bit is a cloth covered shower cap.

We decided to try out this unlikely setup for our Oregon trip. Our first observation was that normal nethersweat started the biodegredation, thereby limiting its use on our little EC boy.

Later when the diaper had been put through it’s paces, we saw the golden flaw of this atrocious concept. We removed the stinky thing to find that the showercap was also covered in poo… so much for the reusable part. Then upon flushage the real magic began. This biodelight backed up the toilet in a way that I never would have thought possible.

My vote, in case I haven’t been plain, skip the G

We’re packing up for Portland now. We’ll be there through Monday. I’ll be attending the RailsConf and the family will be wandering around Portland looking for fun and excitement. Expected side trips (for them at least) include the Zoo, the Children’s Museum, and at least a few local coffee houses. More, I’m sure, as the trip unfolds.
