Gdiapers (review)

Per request here is a short little review post about one of our favorite cloth diaper brands-Gdiapers. Cute, trim, and easy!

Demitri's first cloth diaper, actually the first diaper ever to be on his bum, was a XS Gdiaper. They were the perfect choice for use because they have a snap down making them umbilical cord stump safe.

Now, a lot of people are turned off from cloth diapering because they think that it will be to difficult and time consuming. That you have to use big pre-folds, safety pins, and ugly rubber pants.

But Gdiapers make it EASY. So easy in fact that they convinced my husband that cloth diapering full time would be just as simple as if we were to use disposable diapers. They are now his favorite brand of diapers to use on Demitri and asks that I buy more so they can be what our diaper stash is made of.

Gdiapers are pretty darn simple.
They kind of remind me of disposable diaper as far as their fastening goes. There are Velcro tabs on both sides that you open up and pull to the back fastening the diaper closed. And yes, I said to the back, compared to a traditional diaper Gdiapers are put on backwards, but they are still super easy to do. At first Daniel did not like they way they closed so he did actually put them on backwards but after a few times of putting them on Demitri the way they are intended to go he was used to it.

Gdiapers come in 4 different sizes: XS, S, M, and L. Which means that as your baby grows you need to get the next size up vs a one-size which will grow with your baby. But Gdiapers are very resonibly priced each cloth cover is only $20 and you can reuse them multiple times. How? Well Gdiapers have snap in PUL (water proof) liners along with hemp cloth inserts. So when one of your cloth inserts becomes soiled you only have to snap out the liner, snap in a clean one, and put a new insert in. Easy-peasy

Gdiapers also have biodegradable disposable inserts. So if washing the cloth inserts isn't your thing or you want to use a form of disposable (without using an actual disposable diaper) while on vacation or away from home, then these are a good option!

So, that is about it for Gdiapers. I would definitely recommend adding them as part of your stash or even for the whole thing, like I said they are super easy aka daddy proof. If you want to try out Gdiapers you can order them online from gdiapers.com and on orders $100 or more use the code TRYIT for 10 off + FREE shipping on orders $75 or more.

Remember no matter what type of diaper you use nothing says I love you like a clean one.

Saving Money While In College (Campus Book Rental)

I may or may not have mentioned before but my husband is going to college as a full time student. That means that each new semester he gets new classes, new teachers, and a whole new list of books to buy. Some of his teachers seem to love having their required book to be the newest addition and so the cost for getting all those books adds up FAST.

Well I then heard about CampusBookRental.com and decided to check it out. Unfortunately I heard about it about half way through the current semester so all the books Daniel needed were already rented out to other students, and we had already paid some ridicules prices to BUY his books. We decided to still look around the site and check to see if they even had listing for the books he would have needed because we had an extremely difficult time finding them anywhere else online. They did! And for a pretty darn reasonable prices (especially considering it was the newest addition, and we had just bought it for more than double that amount).
Some specific info I discovered about CampusBookRental.com are:
-That they offer their textbooks at 40-90% off bookstore prices (including the newest additions from what I saw).
-Free shipping both ways (that means you don't have to spend your own money to send the book back when you are done).
-They have flexible renting periods (because some classes don't actually go the whole semester and there's no point in spending money to rent a book you don't need any longer).
-The largest selection of textbooks in the nation (we couldn't even find some of Daniels needed books on Amazon).
-You can highlight in the books (guess that would be useful to a student as they wouldn't need to copy page after page of notes).
- & They donate to Operation Smile with each textbook rented! (For more info on Operation Smile or to donate please click the above link)

I told Daniel that as soon as he gets signed up for next semesters classes and knows what books he will be needing we are heading to that site and trying to RENT them!
I really like the idea of renting the books and sending them back once the class is over with. It saves us money number one, it's really more economical, and I don't have a ton of 2+ inch thick books just sitting around my house taking up room while trying to resell them (really have you tried to resell stuff on Amazon, it's just annoying).
I also really like that a portion of each "sale" that is made is donated to Operation Smile because it's a very worthy cause to donate too.

I would recommend that any student in need to textbooks for the semester and hoping to save some cash definitely make CampusBookRental.com the number one place to check on your list! Out of all the textbook rental sites I have seen/checked out it is by far the most superior and I do not believe that you will be disappointed.
