Bump wars
So a few months ago pampers paid the bump shittons of money apparently in order to get a diapering board. Well that board really turned into a cloth diaper board. Now that board has been changed to cloth diapering and there is a new board called connect with pampers. The outrage is a little hilarious. I am on my phone so sorry I can't link but it seems like it could be a fun place to mess with people who are so self righteous. Me personally, I am waiting for the poop board. It should be sponsored by corn and colase.
Re: Bump wars
That's pretty funny. We're a Pampers family and they've worked out fine for us.
Maybe I'll go over there and become the Pampers defender and be accused of being a Proctor & Gamble employee. If all goes well, I could get some coupons!

Yes! Otherwise you are unfit to be a parent.
I dig Fallin's suggestion too. The Shop at Walmart board would be quite the source of controversy and generate both hate and support.

I love P&G. Let us support them heartily.
Did I tell you guys about how I was asked to do a little testimonial for a "grassroots" web campaign started by P&G endorsing more family-friendly TV options?
I went to my hair stylist for a cut and his business partner was there, the business partner was involved with made-for-TV movie that P&G produced as they are trying to reinvigorate their tv involvement now that their soaps are all dying off.
He asked if I'd be willing to do a little video saying that I wanted to see more family-friendly options on TV and I said sure. His pitch was it was a "friend" starting this campaign, but I knew darn well it was the Proctoid machine cranking this out.
I just googled and found the website, but thank goodness no videos there. Let's hope this little video never makes it on the internets, since I had wet hair and was wearing a cape.
You're supposed to care A LOT what someone else's baby is wearing on its ass, what type of milk is sitting in that baby's stomach, and in what manner that baby exited its mother's body.
Pampers seem to be the only thing that will contain my son's earth shattering poops. They are A-okay in my book.
Here's my possibly eye-roll worth confession. I did buy into the "DRYMAX WILL GIVE YOUR BABY CHEMICAL BURNS" hysteria and go out of my way to find baby dry. This sometimes means trying several stores to find one that has non drymax diapers in stock. It's probably stupid.
I have some newborn disposables in my stash. I think I might be too wiped and trying to find a routine in the first week to start the cloth and I don't want to get discouraged early if I find I need to take a break from saving the planet.
and I am a really unfit parent because I don't give two hard brown rat turds what anyone else does--oh wait, except maybe my limit is letting the kid hold onto a gun for an ADORABLE POSE for my FB page. But that's pretty much my line.
It's my understanding that Baby Dry are the old version and don't have DryMax. If not, won't I feel stupid? We use the huggies natural wipes.
Huggies diapers, however, result it pee shooting out of the diaper. I hated them.
I've used Pampers only from the get-go (exceps a few huggies that I had gotten as a gift and had the aforementioned pee problem) - both Swaddlers and now Cruisers without a problem.
Was that whole DryMax thing BS?
I think it was legitimate but not wide spread. There were kids getting really bad rashes from them. I don't know about actual "chemical burns" but some of the pictures were horrific. It's just only happened in a statistically small group as far as I could tell. Chances are, we could use them and not have an issue at all, but I was just really paranoid about it when he was born.
You're right Buddha -- the Baby Dry doesn't have Dry Max.
I didn't know what to make of the Dry Max brouhaha. Clearly some kids were having a really bad reaction, but I don't think anyone was ever able to connect what looked like a chemical burn to the diapers themselves.
I hate that Sams only has Drymax in bulk. We don't have a Costco. I'm thinking about buying in bulk from diapers.com now that he will probably stay in a size for more than two weeks. We lasted through one bulk box in size 2.

That is funny. I have found the exact opposite. I tried using Pampers and had no luck with keeping him dry. We are a Huggies family (but only the Snug and Dry, not the Little Movers - Little Movers leaked too).
Yeah, I don't get the judgment. Just make sure whatever you are using keeps your kid's stuff on the inside, and we're all good.
