Cloth is still considered a "niche" product ... for SAHM's and granola-crunchers.
All 3 of my sibs and I were CD kids, but that's because disposeables gave us diaper rash, so our poor mom had to CD. The leaps and bounds from our CD days with pins & plastic pants to all the awesome options out there are still amazing to me! (I am considering BG's bamboo line in addition to gDiapers, myself.)
As for your gDiaper problem ... if you haven't watched their website video, definitely do. If you still have trouble, they have on-call experts available on their customer service line, so definitely look into that. HTH!
