GAD Information page


  
The old measurements were a little confusing (even to me, lol) so I re-did them. I hope this helps! I know it can be hard to pick the correct size. Remember, if you do get a diaper thats the wrong size, or you just plain don't like it; I will take anything back for a store credit within 30 days that is unwashed/unused. Custom Diapers will have a 20% re-stocking charge.
All of these measurements are with the diaper un-stretched and on the smallest setting and then stretched out and on the largest setting.

For a Small the waist settings are 8-19 inches. The thigh settings are 6-11 inches. The rise is 10.5 to 15 inches.

For a Medium the waist settings are 11-23 inches. The thigh settings are 8-13 inches. The Rise is 12 to 17 inches.

For a Medium Long the Waist settings are the same as a medium diaper but the thigh settings are 8-14 inches and the rise is 12.5 to 18 inches.

For A Husky Medium Diaper the Waist is the same as a large 12-25 Inches. The Thigh Settings are the Same as a Medium Long, 8-14 inches and the Rise is 12-17 inches.

For the Large the waist settings are 12-25 inches.
The thigh settings are 10-16 inches.The rise is 14 to 19 inches.

I hope this will help you choose a GAD that will give your baby the best fit.

 

These cute cloth diapers can either be stuffed with a GAD insert, any pocket diaper insert that fits side to side or a pre-fold, or used as a cover over a trim fitted. Each diaper has 3 adjustable snap settings on the back wings and is side snapping. Since we use snaps this means there is no scratchy Velcro. The side snapping diapers are usually harder for babies to take off themselves. Our GADs are made with PUL, a waterproof fabric, for the outside layer, & buttery soft micro fleece or suedecloth for the inside layer. Suedecloth and micro fleece wick moisture off of your babies skin so they won’t get a diaper rash or feel the wetness. Then our diapers are serged wrong sides together and turned right side out so there are no rough edges touching your baby. They are trim fitting depending on what you stuff them with; even when we stuff these diapers with a pre-fold they fit fine under regular clothes. There is an absorbent and very trim hemp insert that you may add-on to your order which has a flap that folds one way for girls and the other for boys. Hemp is a natural product, grown without pesticides and not bleached, which is very harmful to the environment. Hemp also protects your baby because it is naturally anti-microbial. Or you can get a Thirsty but not as trim as the hemp, Microfiber insert. The microfiber inserts are sewn with the same design and they do not require any priming like the hemp does
Hemp needs to be Primed before it can reach it's maximum absorbency. You can prime your hemp by washing it in Hot water any drying it about 10 times or you can boil it. The Hemp insert can be used before it's been primed, but remember that it may not hold as much liquid as your other inserts, after it's been washed about 10 times, it should be fully primed and work just as well as your other inserts.
 
GAD Care and Washing tips
After removing the dirty diaper from your baby, shake any solids off into the toilet. The suedecloth or micro fleece inners are great for releasing anything fairly solid. Remove the insert and then rinse any solids remaining on the diaper. Store dirty diapers in a dry pail.
On washday run the diapers through a cold rinse to remove any solids that may remain on the diaper and to rinse out most of the urine. Use liquid detergent, and only 1/2 to 1/4 the recommended amount. This is all that is necessary for a thorough cleaning.
Tumble-dry them on HOT, new information says this is actually good for the PUL. PUL was invented for the medical industry and is meant to hold up to the really high temperatures of the sterilization process used in the medical industry.
Once dry let your diapers cool off before you stuff them. If you stuff the diapers while they are still warm it can cause the elastic to break. When your diapers are cool stuff the diaper again so it is ready for the next use!
Things NOT to do to your GAD:
Don`t use any bleach products, bleach is a strong chemical and will break down the fibers in the diapers. To remove stains, hang or lay your diapers in the sun, it works wonders!
Don’t use fabric softener. It will coat the diapers making them water repellent and will cause leaks! Be aware that if you use dryer sheets in your dryer for other laundry this can coat your dryer and transfer to your diapers.
