flushable, compostable, earth-friendly diapers

for all you baby-changers out there.


I don't know how they compare in price. But disposable diapers, which contain a lot of plastic, are a big source of waste in landfills and contamination of water, etc. Cloth diapers require a huge amount of water and energy to wash. These "gdiapers" are flushable, so they send poop to the waste-treatment centers, which reduces contamination, don't need to be washed, and are biodegradeable. Apparently you can even compost the wet (nonpoopy) ones. And they say they're made of superabsorbent materials. I'm sold. But given the notable lack of babies around my apartment, I guess I'll have to hold off.
