gDiapers update

I have been crazy busy lately, but I have still been using the gDiapers all day and disposables at night. I just had to get some more gDiapers snap-in liners because they had lost some of their elasticity and they were leaking. I got 12 originally, and I had to replace them about 2 1/2 months later, so you can expect $40 every 2 1/2 months. The gCloth liners are about $8/box and they last about 2 weeks, I buy them 2 boxes at a time, so I spend $16/month on those. I used to spend about $38/month on disposables at Target, so it isn't really saving me that much money. I'm going to try to rinse the snap-in liners instead of washing them on warm in the machine with bleach every time to make them last longer. I'm hoping it works, but even if I don't save money and just break even, I feel better using cloth diapers and knowing that there are a lot less diapers going into landfills.
