Unlike our other Your Mamas, I’m not a cloth diapering expert. However, I do cloth diaper my girls part-time with Bum Genius 3.0′s, which I’ve found very easy to use.
When I had the opportunity to try out GAD Baby PUL pocket diaper, I figured I’d give it a shot to expand my CDing horizons. Unlike my Bum Genius diapers, the GAD diapers use snaps to close around the leg (snaps are harder than Velcro for babies to undo). The snaps are spaced to give you several different sizes to choose from. гaлерея порно школьник
The insert I got is their one-size hemp insert, which is folded and stitched in half in an open loop with an extra flap at the end. This allows you to fold over part of the insert to get a total of eight layers of protection.
The hemp MUST be “primed” — either washed with detergent about 10 (yes, 10!) times, or boiled with a touch of Dawn for 15-20 minutes. I found this out the hard way when one of my girls woke up completely SOAKED and miserable from a failed hemp insert. Instructions included in the shipping would have been very helpful. женщины секс символы
Perhaps a very experienced cloth diaperer might enjoy these more, but I found them just okay.
Pros
- Made by WAHM’s in the US
- An astonishing amount of designs and colors to choose from. HOW CUTE, and they’d make an awesome gift for your favorite CDing mama.
- Compared to my BG’s, the GADs have a lower “profile” — i.e., they’re not as poofy as the BG’s, so they don’t cause as much pulling/stretching of clothing
- Incredibly soft lining
Cons
- The snaps might be harder for baby to undo, but they also make securing the diaper harder for mom, especially with a wiggly and impatient baby on a changing table
- Snaps in set places mean that you only have so many size options. If your baby is at a slightly in between stage, you risk either pinching her legs by making it too tight, or leaking by making it too loose.
- I found the insert difficult to work with. It seems like it never quite fit right in the size medium diaper I got, and I never figured out different folding techniques to increase absorbency where I needed it. I didn’t find any instructions on GAD’s website either.

Althought I prefer bamboo, I like the Saturn Blue PUL with Red Microfleece GAD colors. It matches my college sports team! :o) I also LOVE their Rockin’ Green Soap.

I already have some medium/long GADs, which I like but am not thrilled with. Same with the one-size hemp insert. I like its absorbency and relatively quick drying, but I haven’t figured out a way to make it really FIT in the diaper. However, I’ll certainly take one more for free!
Ocean/black inner.
I have a GAD & LOVE it….I’ve never had trouble with the insert, the hemp is very absorbent. This is one diaper that my 2 yr old can not take off!
I’d love to win a Grassy Green with bamboo liner & hemp insert!

We use Green Acre Design Diapers (GAD) and we love them! I love the Saturn Blue PUL with Red Microfleece GAD. We use just microfiber insert during the day; we had a hemp liner plus microfiber insert for nights or when in the car on a road trip. The customer service was excellent with this company and I recommend them highly!
