The towels that I bought had a border stitched around them that I trimmed off because otherwise there would be a ridge that would jut out of the cloth. No bueno. Then I folded the cloths in a couple ways to see if I could get them to fold up to approximately the 13 x 5. I was able to fold mine into thirds, which gave me three layers; they were pretty close to the right size but still needed to be trimmed on one side slightly.
So I trimmed them. These particular towels were fuzzy and made a bit of a mess. The receiving blanket needed to be slightly bigger than the center so I gave it about an extra half inch in length and width. The receiving blanket I had was 36 in x 28 inches. I figured out that I could make five inserts with each blanket. Rather than cut ten pieces, I measured and cut five pieces that could be fold in half along one axis.
So I cut five pieces, each about 7. With the non-printed side up, we folded the insert over to make the 13 x 5. We flipped the pocket back out so now the printed side is facing outwards and stuffed the folded microfiber towel inside the pocket, making sure it was flat and even throughout the pocket.
The open side was then sewn shut after folding the edges down. The shape of the inserts we made are square while the gCloths have rounded edges. Also sewed a line up the middle to prevent the microfiber towel from bunching up. Done and done. The size you gave is it for small gdialers or medium?

Try the difference. Handy User Guide H. Handy User Guide and Common Questions Just for newborns Newborn babies require a unique design, one that works with their inclination to curl up their tiny legs, one that fits their tiny bodies, and one that allows room for their umbilical cord to heal.
We designed our newborn gPants for all those reasons. Babies come in all shapes and sizes, so a diaper that comes in multiple sizes designed to fit them at their specific stages of growth will be the most comfortable and effective diaper.
Read more Choosing and Using Inserts gDiaper s Disposable Inserts are supremely absorbent inserts with multiple options for disposal. The disposable inserts are made of cellulose fibers, fluff pulp and super absorber and can be flushed, home composted wet ones only or tossed. For additional care information about our cloth inserts , visit our guides to Cloth Insert Care and Stripping Cloth Inserts. Please note that all solid waste should be flushed in a toilet regardless of which diaper brand you choose to use.
Read more Composting Diapers gDiapers Disposable Inserts can be home composted wet ones only in a wide variety of home compost systems. Read more Overnight Diapers Many babies sleep through the night comfortably using only one Disposable Insert. But some babies require a little extra absorbency, particularly during growth spurts when their output increases.
With the gDiaper system, you will be purchasing a minimum of 3 gPant rounds and 2 rounds of both cloth inserts and inner pouches. The pouch which both snaps into the gPant and holds the insert is made of breathable fabric. Although we found that this insert became much more absorbent over time, which is typical of natural fibers like hemp and cotton, it just didn't perform as well as we expected in the wicking department, leaving wetness in contact with baby's skin.
Contrarily, as demonstrated above in our absorbency testing, GroVia Hybrid with Stay Dry Soaker Pad is comprised of very similar materials yet demonstrated superior wicking ability over gDiaper's gCloth insert. The gPant is pretty trim and the cloth insert very thin. Although the diaper fits fairly slender, we feel that it bunches in a weird way, particularly in the front. It doesn't fit very flat the way you might hope.
The rear-fastening tabs are the only way to customize the fit of this diaper. For hybrid systems, Flip and GroVia Hybrid seem to have better overall fit with the use of waist and rise snaps. The gCloth insert is much more absorbent than it seems, particularly after many washings, but we still experienced leaking.
If the urine doesn't get absorbed into the insert right away, it leaks over the sides of the gPouch and right through the cotton cover onto clothing. We found that the cover often felt slightly damp to the touch. Since the only waterproof layer is the gPouch, this became a real issue for us during testing. Every other cover we tested had either a PUL or TPU waterproofing laminate; unfortunately many of these covers were distinctly less soft and pliable, particularly the Kushies and Bummis.
However, as a pair, the gCloth insert when combined with the gPouch was not as comfortable as competing hybrid products. The cover is only offered with hook and loop velcro-like closures which fasten around the back.
There are no snap options, which are our favorite. In theory, these posterior closures help keep baby from ripping off their diaper, but it takes practice to get used to attaching the diaper around the back rather than in front. In addition, we found this particular hook and loop system to be extremely strong, needing quite a bit of "umph" to remove or readjust the diaper.
For grandparents or other caregivers, this system could certainly prove to be confusing and cumbersome. The gPant and gPouch can be re-used by replacing the wet insert with a dry one, that is, if wetness hasn't spilled over onto the gPant.
This feat is usually only possible if the insert is wet, not soiled. Like with most cloth diapers, the solid messes have more of a tendency to get all over the inside of the diaper, whether hybrid, pocket, or all-in-one.
It is rare for stool to remain on the insert only. So, on these occasions, the entire diaper will need to be washed. The gPouch that holds the insert in place is an added complication. While necessary because it is the ONLY waterproof barrier between the insert and cover, it is indeed an extra step in the laundering process. The manufacturer suggests unsnapping it from the cover before washing, but constantly snapping and un-snapping those four snaps we felt became a tedious chore.
