Am I the only one grossed-out by Pampers Change’N Go Diapers? Seriously, baby PEES through the porous material and YOU ONLY CHANGE THE ABSORBENT CORE? Eeeewww.

   You’re not alone.

   Ewww!

   Hmm…it’s an interesting idea, for sure, and would make some strides in reducing the amount of waste generated by disposable diapers. Honestly, it is *way* less gross to me than cloth diapers. But yeah, it is a little strange. I wonder if it will catch on!

   Seems a little lazy to me… in the time it takes to catch the little one and make her stand still long enough to slip that card in and out, you could change that diaper! And then there’s the whole ick factor with the pee still being in there on the lining. I agree… ick.

   They’re obviously trying to appeal to those who have changed to cloth for environmental reasons. Except that it has even more of those scary chemicals. Did you read where they said you can leave the child in the diaper outer for ten hours?

   No thanks. I’ll stick with cloth. (As for your commenter who is disgusted by cloth, well, I am disgusted by disposables. The smell. The texture! The chemicals next to my child’s skin! UGH!)

   Well, as someone who is not a mom and doesn’t plan on being one any time soon, diapers in general gross me out! ;) I’ve seen the cloth vs. disposable discussion a lot on knitting forums, and I can understand the arguments for both sides. My mom cloth-diapered us (she still keeps a diaper pin on her keychain, which I think is super-cute), but she had a service that would switch out clean ones for dirty ones every few days (or some time interval like that). That removes the biggest ick factor for me, which is washing them in the same machine that washes all the rest of our clothes. Do those services still exist? I’ve only ever read about techniques for washing your own.

   That is disgusting. Completely.

   I just…..don’t even understand. At all. Ewwwww.

   From a Nana who has changed a whole lot of diapers here lately … I believe I’ll remain Pampers free … I’m a Huggies Nana but we are seriously considering cloth diapers for the new baby due in March.

    I don’t know. What happens with #2. It just seems kind of gross.

    The design is eerily reminiscent of a pocket dipe as it might be viewed by a product designer at a disposable diaper company. I can see the little gears working now… “there’s this opening in the diaper, see, where you can change out the part that holds the pee”. All the while the mystery chemicals and bleach in the outer part sit there, a little bit wet, doing all kinds of weird chemical reactions next to your baby’s skin. No thanks, I’ll stick to my cloth.

    Having changed a butt-load of pocket cloth diapers for four babies in the last five years, I hafta say I’ve never ONCE pulled out the cloth insert and re-used the pocket. That is just GROSS! Sheesh, and they fault us cloth users for being a wee bit odd?

13. Cindy

    Well I’m one of those mom’s that won’t use those changing tables that you see in all the restrooms. Why? Because people are just gross and I’m not subjecting my lil’ girls precious little hiney to that. HOWEVER… I couldn’t use these either! I’ll be going to the car and changing her diaper in the back seat! What happened to “Baby Fresh”???

14. LizP

    I just don’t see the point. Besides, my 8 month old wouldn’t sit still long enough to swap thingys. She gets being put on a changing table.

    And what do you put the used thingy in? At least with a used diaper you can roll it up and keep the contents from going everywhere.

    So I’d give it one “blech” on the gross-o-meter.

    Grossed out? Does throwing up in my mouth a little count? Disgusting.

    I actually went and watched all 3 videos and noticed something. The wiggly babies got a regular Pamper diaper in the same time it took to do 5 of these freakish things. I didn’t time it myself, but if they are right and the new freakish diapers take 10 seconds to change, then wiggly squirmy babies only take 50 seconds to change with a regular Pamper. Even if it wasn’t gross, saving 40 seconds per diaper is not enough incentive to have their chemicals against my child’s g*nitals in a new way. Not exactly the time to be on the bleeding edge of technology.

    Oh, and I use my Patemm Pad changing pad on top of those changing tables in the restrooms, then I give it a Lysol wipe-off when we get home. Unless there is visible poo on the table in which case I find somewhere else even if it’s the floor.

16. Pamela

    oh, no, sister. nasty, nasty, nasty.

17. Pamela

    but good for them for trying to be kinda like a cloth diaper? even though they COMPLETELY missed the mark?

    it’s like congratulating a politician.

18. Katie

    That is just weird. And I think it’s *more* disgusting (just the pee/ick factor, not the chemicals) than cloth.

19. Starr

    Ooo it’s like a maxi pad for kids? *gag*

20. Traci in GA

    The eeewww factor is pretty high. I see diaper rashes and yeast/skin issues from keeping that “wicking” inner liner against the skin. Seriously, how long does it take to change a wet diaper anyway? For me the few seconds saved wouldn’t make up for the price of expensive Pampers.

21. kj

    ummmm. no. gross. I will not buy that.

22. Nikki

    Grosses me out completely. Leaving a wee soaked (yeah, wicking only lets through so much!) layer against babies’ skin? Ouch.

23. jamie

    I saw this a couple of months ago and seriously could not believe it. Do you know how many people will probably leave their babies in those icky things for a day or more? I bet there will be a profusion of rashes and yeast things… bums need air. That’s all there is to it.

    How is it any different than if they did that kind of thing for a maxipad? No woman would ever consider it sanitary in that case…

24. Shanna

    It is absolutely disgusting. Even my husband thinks it’s gross. What were they thinking?!!

25. Angie Garza

    OMG! A Kotex for babies. Who was on the market research team for this one? What next…NO, don’t answer!

26. Liz C.

    Yep. Definitely squicked out.

    Unfortunately, I know people who’ll think this is just awesome. Come on! Spend a whole 50 seconds and get all the urine off the baby! (And did anyone else notice that no one wipes the babies clean during the “standard” diaper change? Eeeeewwwww!)

27. Leah

    Yeast infections, anyone?
