Travels with gNappies part 2

I've written a blog about travelling with gNappies before but I thought this time I'd show you how I travel with them. We use the disposable inserts when travelling as we are flying to Barbados, it's an eight hour flight too long for wet cloth for me.

There is a lot of things we have to remember in out hand luggage. The last time we flew to Barbados we ended up doubling our hand luggage after security with all the bits we ended up buying. "Calpol, check, nappies, check, wipes, toys, blanket, dummy etc... The list seems never ending. 

To make nappy changes easy for me, I pack a little nappy change kit which contains a nappy, nappy insert and wipes. 

Then I pack an extra complete gNappy in a nappy bag and in another nappy bag I have pack six extra inserts which should be more than enough. 

I have an emergency Eco disposable packed just in case. 

gTea Summer 2013

Friday was the day for gNappies gTea, I'm a bit of a fan of gNappies or gDiapers as I first found them. It was a great day with lots of lovely gMums and gDads.

There was even a surprise guest in the form of the new royal gNappy. It's a lovely dark purple with a minkee finish unlike the other gNappies and with embroidered embellishment of the g and crown. We can't wait for it to be released.

As part of the gTea, gNappies were filming and taking lots of pictures of the gBabies who all seemed to have a really lovely time walking up and down the carpet babywalk. There was even a table with a few nibbles on some of them were supplied by a lovely gMum who couldn't make it to the gTea itself.

At several points the rain started and stopped, so we made for cover under some trees. Even the rain didn't spoil the sprit of the day.

It was a great time for swapping cloth advice and asking for any help with your g's or any cloth nappy, the gCommunity are always lovely and happy to help if you have a look at the gNappies facebook page you'll see examples of gMums helping other gMums. 

Travelling with gNappies

In April we flew to the Caribbean, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to test the gnappies. We took four outers and six waterproof liners. This was the perfect amount for us as we use disposables at night. The disposable inserts took up less room then the disposables we took for the same amount. They were perfect for our holiday, on the days we were out visiting sites or relatives a simple wipe of the liner before putting them in a bag kept it all under control. We had lots of comments about how smart he looked and stylish especially as he spent a lot of time in nothing but a nappy. We would definitely travel again with gnappies.

gTea in Brighton

One of my first purchases for Nathaniel was the new baby bundle of gDiapers (gNappies Facebook UK, gDiapers Facebook US) as I then knew them. I found them on an American forum and though how pretty they looked, plus they used a mixture of disposable inserts and reusable which I thought was a pretty good idea, as there are times when cloth could be too much of a juggling act. In the new baby bundle there are 12 tiny gPants, 6 small gPants and 80 disposable inserts. If I'm honest we didn't get much use out of the tiny's as he was such a long baby and people encouraged me to use disposables at first. I'd probably pack them in the hospital bag if we were to have another. Although they were really useful for popping over disposables to stop them leaking.

On to the point of this post. Yesterday Kim Graham Nye the co-founder of gDiapers was over here in Brighton, so we thought we'd pop along and have some tea and talk about gNappies as they are called over here. It was great fun to talk to Kim, who was happy to show other mums who haven't used g's before the beauty of them and talk them through the breathability of the pouch where one mum even attempted to breathe through the pouch, successfully I might add and a demo of the Sushi roll as a way of using g's overnight. There were samples of the gCloth, which I've never seen as I shied away from buying as I'd read bad reviews of it although seeing it in the flesh has made me regret this as Nathaniel seemed to love cuddling it.

It was great to see the UK team of gNappies and Kim, we hope there are many more gTea's over here.
