gFacts

Get the perfect fit and a snug little bum.

good fit

Babies come in all shapes and sizes. So, it may take a few tries to find the perfect fit for your baby.

  • Close velcro tabs at the back away from little hands.
  • gDiapers fit up snug between baby's legs. The liner rests in the crease of your baby's leg. Just like underwear.    
  • gDiapers, like all diapers need to be changed every 2-4 hours for a dry, happy baby.

 

The waistband and tabs.

tab fit

The soft elastic waistband fits around your baby's waist. This means it is higher in the back and dips down below the belly in the front.  The fit should be snug but not tight.

When closing the tabs, make sure the back of the tab is sitting straight along the waist, and not angling down.

Making the seal.

seal fit

The soft trim on the snap-in liner makes the seal. Be sure it is hugging your baby's legs.

Red marks vs. skin irritation.

Mild red marks or gentle indentations in your baby's skin are generally not harmful. It's the same as when you get sheet marks on your body from sleeping. However, red rubbing or skin irritation is not OK. Please call us if this happens and we can talk you through a more comfortable fit. 866-55-FLUSH.

A US lifetime of disposable diapers uses 715 pounds of plastics. That's over a third of a ton.

It takes 5.65 barrels of crude oil to make one American's lifetime supply of disposable diapers.

It takes 6 tankers of crude oil to make a year of disposal diapers for US babies.
