New WAHM? - Page 3

When I used sposies..the only brand that worked for me was Pampers. Pampers were 15.99 for a package of 58. Thats .27 a sposie.

Sorry, I didn't realize that you're not supposed to fill in the title field. It was blank so I didn't think about it and just filled it in. And no idea what you're talking about with the ellipses.

Why do people feel the need to tear others to shreds?

Poor WAHM is getting analyzed up and down and probably has no idea.

ETA: doesn't everyone start out as a newbie?

I totally agree with you! I feel so bad for Mere if she reads these messages. She is trying to get her business going and the OP just wanted to know if anyone had used these dipes. Now, if someone were to come and see the post, would some of the comments turn them off of a great AIO? Some people think her dipes are very similar to ElBees (I should take a picture of a REDI and an ElBee for comparison to show they really don't look alike). What about Wonderoos and Fuzzi Bunz -- they are very similar yet co-exist in the same diapering community.

As for her diaper comparison, babies should be changed many more times a day then they are. And maybe her baby could only wear the expensive brand. I couldn't use Pampers with my boy as he would get rashy. Maybe cheap diapers do that to her baby?

I would like to see this post turn into something positive instead of someone not liking the prints or the fact that they are AIOs.

They fit well, are very absorbant, and are very well made. Those are facts based upon my experience.

Jeez, you guys!!! This always happens when any new (to us) WAHM is discussed. Why can't we just have faith that someone notified some non-MDC fans of these dipes and they decided to come on here and tell us all about why they loved them? What in the world is wrong with that? :

Sometimes it just seems like we are out for blood here, why is that? Be gentle with each other, mamas!

XOXO

P.S. I think her swim dipes are WAY cute and I would get one for Eliza if I hadn't just spend a bazillion dollars on the TP, at Picklepants and at RB :

XOXO

The co-ordinating prints look kind of funny. LOL! Not my style.

Now I feel bad for having started the post

Mary. It's not your fault that this thread took a weird turn. Your initial inquiry was totally innocent!

I know but I don't understand all the criticism

I don't either. I belong to the camp of "if you can't say something nice..." Threads like this can be really hurtful to the WAHM not just for business, but for morale. I feel badly for her.

[TeriBeary]

Mary...

Just wanted to tell you not to feel bad about asking about REDIs. I do that on the board I am at more often. It's how we all learn about things. I hope that all the positive posts have help answer your questions.

And Diaper_Addict_Jen, I just wanted to say that the coordinating prints look much better on a body -- I don't own one, but have seen pics and they really do look cute on a baby's bottom! Hope you don't mind me posting this, but I wanted to mention that. I know they look deceiving in print.

[momsmyjob]

I feel bad for her too!

Actually I liked the double prints. I though it was a neat twist.

Well, I guess my question would be if the WAHM in question also posts at the forum all the new posters came from, yk? I mean, doesn't MDC have a pretty strong anti-spam policy? I know that some other WAHMs have gotten into hot water here because they sent friends in to answer/deflect questions for them. I know I always feel like I have to disclose whether or not I know a WAHM at all when I post about their product, LOL!

That said, I don't AIOs, or I'd surely try one of these cause I think the coordinating print idea is cute and my older guys would love them on greg, LOL.

Hmmm... didn't she post on this thread herself? I believe her post was removed. It was pretty self-promoting. But I believe she didn't know it was against MDC policies.

Totally not your fault that people feel the need to be mean! Your post is completely legitimate!
