Diaper Dandies

Can you believe it? In these times of economic distress worldwide, the diaper makers are seem as impervious to it all as their diapers. It's because there is now a new line of diapers being made for the little one that takes extravagance to an extreme. It's the age of the designer diaper. Yep, babies are now being dressed in cutsie designer diapers.

It started a few months ago with the introduction of the camouflaged military diaper, which consumers went to war to throw away their money one. I am not sure if the babies know they are being dressed for combat, but if they knew I am sure they would defect to another country. yet, mom and dad think having a baby dressed for combat is cute, so junior can only poo in it as much as possible as an snit war diaper protest.

These new designer diapers can cost up to 20% more than conventional diapers, with most placing fewer diapers in a pack. Yet, parents are racing to have the latest diaper style. No, the adult diaper industry is not yet designer, but then any adult who has to wear diapers hardly wants to show off his or her fashion statement. novel ways to boost sales and gain market share. But babies are modeling the designer look now because baby moms want compliments from other moms. Babies don't compliment each other on their diapers. Moms do. And what else can an infant do to earn praise from jealous moms? Infants are basically blobs who do little of distinction, so "my diaper is trendier than yours" is the best way for a mom to brag about her little one . Kind of a sad testimony on the current state of parenthood, I think.

Here are the biggest selling designer diapers you can buy.
*The Camouflage Diaper- Huggies, the world's leading diaper maker sells this one and calls it the "Camo". I guess, parents want to get their little ones ready for war. For every package of Camo diapers sold, Huggies donates one diaper to a military service family in need. It's a clever exploitation of the patriotic theme by Huggies. "If you love your baby and our military, support both by buying a Camo diaper".
* The Jean Diaper- Diapers that looked like jeans are becoming very popular. I wonder if baby sandals and the floral T shirt is next. But I think the world can do without hippie babies.
* The Floral Diaper- Another leading diaper maker, Pampers, recently introduced floral prints for girls. I wonder if gay babies wear that one too.
* The Argyle Print Diaper- This one is supposed to be the male alternative to the female floral print. This one is a "limited time only" offering because the idea of it is so ridiculous its likely to be a bust at the checkout counter.
* Ruffle Diapers- "Eco-diapers" with ruffles for girls and plaids for boys were introduced this year by gDiapers. It exploits the trendy environmental rage and the disgraceful tend of parents to use their babies to promote their own self esteem.

Supposedly, the next designer diapers to be released this year take bad taste even further. Stay tuned for the skateboard and leopard skin diapers. Sigh...all this foolishness just makes me want to poo in my pants.
