Circ'ed dolls??

[Seie]

So I was dropping off my kids at daycare today. Was sitting there combing my DDs hair before leaving - noticed a little fat cute babydoll on the floor. I also noticed that it had a penis and thought - yeah how neat - a real boy-looking doll. (I really have an aversion to those dolls with no genitals - I mean kids are not stupid - they KNOW something is missing) Anyway - I picked the doll up and thought - hey - they are even pretty detailed. Then looked up close - GEEZ - the doll is CIRC'ED! WHY? For crying out loud..
And I live in country where circ is very rare. I am guessing the doll was made in a country with high circ rates - and would look like many boys there - but still..

That is disturbing. I got dd a intact baby on ebay. Both a boy and a girl.

In the States, "circ'd" dolls are the norm, because unfortunately that's what doll makers seem to think a penis looks like. But I've never seen one here in Europe. Anatomically correct dolls are common here, and intact is definately the assumption for baby boys.

My mom got me a doll when I was a kid with real girlie parts. I very clearly remember seeing the male doll was intact though. I don't know why I remember, but I do. lol

But there are so few anatomically correct dolls in the US.

The reason for that is because parents think it's obscene.
There was some controversy in 1976 (I read about this in Uncle John's Biggest Ever Bathroom Reader) when a doll from a TV show (I can't remember which one it was) was released and parents complained because the doll had boy parts. As far as I know, that incident set a precedent in the US toy industry.

Anybody seen that "Baby Pi Pi" (that, from what I can tell, was the doll's actual name) commercial? That would NEVER fly in the US, as people would see it as sexual.

That is messed up! Baby pi pi (baby wee wee in Ireland ) does EXACTLY what baby boys do. You take his nappy off and he pees on you.

I had an anatomically correct baby girl when i was little, they're harder to get now. What i liked about her wasn't so much the genitals (which i never thought about), but that scrunched-up newborn face....awwww, cuteness!

I don't know, dd's nursery school, which is hardly a bastion of crunchiness (just a mainstream coop), has intact baby boy dolls. They're definitely around.

[DJay]

The doll maker is probably circumcised himself, and thinks it is normal.

I couldnt help myself - I had to see that pipi commercial for myself. So here it is: Pipi doll

I see why some parents would think that was a bit disturbing - but honestly - it does do what little boys do. And I'm sure that is how children would interpret it. Either way its a hilarious commercial
Oh and he is intact

[strawberryfields08]

Does anyone know where to find a reasonably priced intact doll? We need to add some baby boys to our collection and I def. want them intact!

My grandma has a knack for finding them at the thrift store.

In 38 years I have never seen an anatomically correct doll. Not one, ever. Now that I think about it, it is kind of weird.

DD has started showing some interest in realistic baby dolls. I will definitely look for one now that I know they exist.

Female doll is very modest without visible genitalia

While the male one isn't.
*sniff* *sniff* I smell sexism.

I might get the hispanic one for ds2 for Christmas. It might be handy for potty learning too in the Spring.

I thought there was an anatomically correct girl doll that showed girl parts...

I tend to think of it as 'retraction'; we're not seeing glans on the anatomically intact boy, we're not seeing the inner parts under the labia majora.

Why would you WANT to see a baby girl's inner labia, clitoris and vagina?

They are more internal, and are often not seen. You can't help but see the penis, however.

JC Toys

I've never seen a cut baby boy doll, so strange to hear one exists. What amputation will they model next?

If you want anatomically correct dolls I recommend JC Toys. They make the Berenguer line. I contacted the owner about a bulk purchase and he didn't know if his male dolls were cut or not. I verified they were using a digital photo he sent me.

For the record, an anatomically correct female doll will show the vulva, but not inner genitalia. I bring that up because I do baby fairs and I've heard a lot of young mothers refer to the vulva as the vagina, and then blush when I say vulva. Strange.

It may be implied that she has had a type 4 FGM done (Nubian infibulation).
