I think it's funny people worry about changing boy diapers.

Girl diapers are somuchfuckingharder. Baby balls work very nicely as a poop dam 90% of the time, whereas girls can blow out the front of a diaper and sometimes one has to go digging out poo from places poo should never go. Dh gets totally freaked when that happens. He's all "poop should not go there! I should never have to see poop there!". Lmao

  • nobody should have to see poop there

  • I was super terrified of seeing a little boy peen.  When they said I was having a girl, I was relieved.

    Then my fave sister had a boy by c section while her husband is in Afghanistan and she couldn't be alone.  So I had to change the damn diaper.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, poop included. 

    Shot first, questions later.
  • I think the worry is that the boy will pee on you

  • The bad part about changing boy diapers, at least with toddlers, is that once they find their baby junk, they want to touch it every time the diaper comes off. This is bad news if there's poop down there.

    Girls try to touch their 'baby junk' too.
  • People think about this?

    Well, then I'll revise: The bad part about changing toddler diapers...

    Better?

    I assumed the genital infatuation was mostly a boy issue.

    Yes.  DH used to try to back out of those explosions but I had to lecture him on how he is obligated to take care of her and poop in that area would make her sick and he HAD to do it.  It took him a minute to get with the program and do it.  He still hates it though.  :/

    It still makes me nervous because vaginas in miniature look so...delicate.

    Ugh, yes. Poor H was freaked out the first time poop got all the way up there, lol.

    boys are definitely easier to change.

    I need some softer wipes. The ones they gave us in the hospital were really soft, but I can't remember what they were (if they are even available commercially). They came in a light blue package. I've tried a few different kinds here that we got at showers, but they are all so rough! I think they irritate her. :(

    Yes!  DD's poopy diapers freaked me out, especially when she was really tiny.  There were so many nooks and crannies.  And DS was SIGNIFICANTLY more interested in playing with himself much more than DD ever was.  He was always so proud of himself when he located his penis.

    Early on, we found the softest paper towel made and added water. That helped avoid irritation.

     I just googled, and those aren't the ones. :(

    Whatever they were, they were really soft and moist with a waffle weave.

    Wait! I just remembered we had a few left under a pile of stuff in the kitchen (they were in travel packs). I dug it out, and they are called "nice n clean," and apparently you can buy them on Amazon. Sweet.
  • Pampers sensitive are really nice and cushy.

    And I'm still scared of baby boy peen.

  • I'll admit I was scared of being peed on, but not having to excavate poop out of a tiny vagynie is golden.

  • Changing a boy is NBD, truly.  But I do shudder at having to try and clean a poopy vag.  UGH.  Too many hiding places!
  • I find this whole thread fascinating.  I'd never considered poop vag.

    I found DS's diapers easy to change for the most part. It can be hard to get poop out of wrinkly baby balls.  Now it's a nightmare though because apparently there is nothing better in the WORLD than grabbing your poopy balls the minute the diaper is opened while simultaneously giggling, flipping over and trying to crawl away.

  • Lol! I'm dying at "poop dam". Changing boy diapers can be tricky though. I find it tough to wrangle his legs, peen and balls at the same time. Lol plus, I always have to remember to point his little rocket down so there are no leaks.

  • Wait....there are people who worry about changing boy diapers? 
    promised myself I'd retire when I turned gold, and yet here I am
