I think the point is you don't throw away the liners, you either compost them or flush them.

And having smelled dirty diapers, and seen how many you use in a day, I don't think anyone runs a composting operation that can handle that input.

Considering you shouldn't compost poop-filled diapers you'd probably be okay

"The key to a clog-free toilet is to always make sure the inner core of the gRefill is completely separated from the outer material. If any of the inner core gets stuck, it can create a sock that will act like a plug, which could clog your toilet. Here’s a tip: dunk the entire gRefill into the toilet. Then tear down both sides, letting the inner core fall into the toilet. The extra water it soaked up from the initial dunk will help it separate more easily. Hold onto the outer coverstock while you swish the inner core, then flush and release the outer coverstock with the last swoosh of water."

You gotta dunk a shitty diaper into toilet water, then disassemble it then swish it around....fuck that.

I toss my son's disposables in the trash. I'm not gonna swish my hand around in a toilet bowl. I got enough shit to deal with already (literally).

an alternative to the gdiapers are the http://www.bumgenius.com/

my friend uses those and they really like them. when she was younger or if they are out, she takes disposable diapers w/ them just in case, but for the most part now use these exclusively.

Just a random little tidbit to add onto H8R's huge list. I dont know what flavors onesies come in now a days but some kids have early allergies to nickel which used to (I dont know if it still is) be used a lot in the snaps. Some research also shows children are more likely to develop nickel allergies if they are exposed at an early age.

Hope that helps... google should turn up any information if interested.

Nickel allergies aside, snaps >>>>>>>> zippers any day of the week.

Also, velcro. Glorious, glorious velcro. This weekend, the girl my kid was having a playdate with had a tantrum because she couldn't wait to get her shoes tied to go on a slide. Laces on a toddler, really?

So your wife is 3 months pregnant? I would suggest taking a trip somewhere. Both of you. Do it now, because soon you'll be grounded for years.

Let me go ahead and prepare you for a process I have witnessed in several reproducing friends:

You will, for perhaps a month after it starts moving on its own, be frantic in your efforts to keep it from hitting its head on anything. After that month, you will run out of give-a-damn and start shrugging off collisions that to me, as an outsider, seem like they should be immediately fatal.

I guess this doesn't qualify as advice, because there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. All the furies of hell could not prevent you from worrying too much initially, and the love and compassion of our lord Jesus Christ could not compel you to give a shit after that first month.
