gJoy gPants Cloth Diapers From gDiapers

In the long run, cloth diapers end up being less expensive than disposables (especially if you have more than one kid), but in the short term, they're a hefty investment for cash-strapped new parents.
Help out by giving a few of the colorful and fun reusable covers from gDiapers, including this cheery new red-and-green version, and add a set of disposable inserts to make diaper changes even easier (you can flush them, trash them, or compost them).
Or, make the adjustment to cloth diapers even easier with a subscription to a diaper service in their area; the Real Diaper Industry Association has a list of services in each state to help you get started. (gDiapers Joy, $22; Diaper Subscription Service, prices vary)
