[Boobiemama]

It gave me a bad vibe, s&m'ish. And I am not shocked by most things, I am pretty open minded and not offeended easily, but icck.
I'm all for black diapers, but the leather straps are a bit much.

[LoveBaby]

But, not quite that dipe. It's interesting. REally creative, but it doesn't quite do it for me.

:

this is punk or goth to me...and maybe a something with spikes on it is punk but i still wouldnt put it on a kid..KWIM?

i will say i really like the black one with ruffles on the butt...that is really cute and looks PAINLESS...unlike the leather strap one with a metal ring...

i dont know maybe im just always thinking of how it would feel to wear something like that KWIM? i dont think it would be so comfy..

I know the WAHM was trying to appeal to certain moms, but...

[MamaJennsMunkies]

YIKES! thats sorta...well...soo NOT Gothic...more SnM'ish to me...in my opinion

[mom2orionplus1]

That looks more S&M to me too. Creepy.

[Mamabug&co.]

Okay, back in the day, I used to dress in a mixture of grunge-punk-whatever I had that looked different, etc. I smile, whenever I see my younger family members doing the whole 'I'm a punk/goth/whatever' look, since for some kiddos, its just fashion and music history for the most part repeating itself Kids are most definitely on a fashion rebellion, and are mixing preppy shirts with studded belts, etc. On the subject of the diaper...everyone is entitled to their opinion, and some obviously are not going to like the diaper shown. Some will love it, and may even purchase it. Personally, I don't like it. And, not because I think it stands for anything nasty, but because, I just don't get the leather look. Just like I dislike anything with skulls on it (they scare me-lol ). But, that's just me. Her diapers look very well made though, and the lace one is cute

[Amylcd]

Looks like something you would see in the S&M scene... on an adult lol

[nicandboys]

If a person capable of making their own decisions wants to wear leather straps and spikes or whatever, I could care less. But I think it's wrong to put it on a baby. That can not be comfortable to lay on. I would never put that on my baby.

And FYI merryone, I don't think anyone has a problem with "kinky people", it's seeing that kind of thing on a baby that feels wrong. Your use of the word kinky implies that you think it's sexual looking, and IMO, it's wrong to put anything sexual on a baby. You can express your kinky sexual preferences without involving a child.

it is a little disturbing to me also, but so are a lot of halloween costumes. but it is just that to me, a halloween costume.

it looks kind of prono or fetish to me... am i the only one..

i hope this is the right place to post this...i just seems like its not nice for a child that all..

oh and i love black dipes but Leather and metal rings is a bit much..

uhhh...you're not the only one. . I agree it looks a little too "sexual fetish" for a kid.

[michray]

Gotta chime in here.. Coming from a Goth in the old days ( and still when I can get out without the kiddos!) that dipe is ALL Goth! The straps and ring are detachable, so I don't really see them as being a hazard if they are used just for looks out and about.
DH ADORED IT! Of course... I also own diapers that say "Punk Rock Girl" and "NIN ~ uh huh", and those are his fav!
Honestly, its labled Goth, it looks Goth, its presented as a Halloween dipe, where is the S&M and B&D vibe coming from?? Its a dipe, ya'll! I think she did a great job coming up with something TOTALLY original in design and appropriate for the holiday.

Oh.. and the skull thing.. so not Goth. Billy & Mandy... oh so Goth .. yah yah yah!

Just MHO, of course

ETA: Had to amend my statement on the skulls not being GOTH.. THESE ~ http://www.universalmama.com/product...w_Product=2463 ARE Goth and oh do I wish I had the $$ for em!!!!

I can totally see this at a costume party where they have the toddler dressed up in a goth outfit with black makeup on (although I don't know if a toddler would tolerate black makeup, but you know what I mean).

[Red Fern]

I dont see anything wrong with it.
And I doubt that goth folks are thinking about S&M when the dipe their kiddos in that.
To each is own man...

You said the above, and then you said this:

I don't see it as sexual and please DON'T put words in my mouth!

I didn't see any replies that stated "You have no common sense if you like this diaper". People were just stating their opinions, like you are. Some did not like it, just as you do like it. Other's liked it along with you. So if anyone is putting words in people's mouths... I definitely didn't put any words in your's, I even quoted you saying something about feeling judged as a kinky person. Those were your words, not mine. I didn't say it was kinky.

Much of what you are saying are non sequiturs to me, as in does not follow. So I cna't really respond. Like this:
"I am alternative, I think it's sick that most ppl in here think that it's something that someone who use to show off their sexulity with their child "

So why don't we just agree to disagree? All this thread is, is opinion. You don't have to like mine and I don't have to like yours. And as far as judgments, yeah I make judgments every day. Like about what is better to feed my kids, what is the best use of my money, what I want to expose them to, what I want to do with my life, etc. I just don't view judgment as a bad thing. I see that term used so often as a (negative) sweeping reference to anyone who has an opinion someone else doesn't like, then you're "judgmental" and that is a very bad thing. No one in this thread said anything personal to you, you turned it into something personal yourself.

The last thing I will say on this thread (I promise, because you get your hand slapped around here if you say too much and I don't want to get the thread deleted), is just that you are a much better judge of what is Gothic than I am. I'm sure you have gathered, that I was never Goth. So I will concede that you know much more than me on that particular topic. I'm positive that's how the maker of the diaper intended it and that's cool for all of you who like it. I just personally don't and wouldn't put it on my babe. That's all.

[Sustainer]

I have to agree with the last 4 posts. I don't see it as sexual.

Just because some people dress up in leather straps and metal rings when they want to look sexy doesn't mean that leather straps and metal rings are ALWAYS sexual.

Other people dress up in pink lace when they want to look sexy. Does that mean that diapers with pink lace are sexual?

There are lots of people who incorporate black leather and metal into their clothing style all the time: punks, goths, bikers...

Cross posted with you, nicandboys. I can see why someone who likes the diaper would be offended by this thread. People haven't simply been saying that they don't care for it personally. If that were all there was to this thread, I wouldn't have a problem with it and probably no one else would either. But it seems like some people have actually been implying that it would be *wrong* for anyone to put this diaper on a child. And I think someone did say something along the lines of someone having sense for not liking the diaper.

[Sustainer]

I also see MerryOne's point about some people being quick to put their minds in the gutter.

I have an aunt who has a black leather whip. She took it to work one day so she could repair it on her lunch hour. Everyone was shocked by it. Not because they thought of it as a weapon, but because they thought of it as a sex toy. They were all making comments about how she must do something sexual with it. It is not her sex toy. It is just her whip.

The USA is such a sexually-oriented culture that sometimes it seems like you can hardly say or do anything without people thinking it's sexual.

You're correct Sustainer, I said I think it's wrong to put it on a baby. But mostly because it looked so uncomfortable. I, however, have a huge hang up about putting comfortable things on my baby. I have always been hung up on having hidden snaps, let alone a big buckle on my babe's butt. If it were a babe that wasn't mobile, they would lie on it. But, I stand corrected, because I did see someone say earlier that it's removable. So my fault for not reading the whole description. I didn't see the comment about having sense, I'll have to go back and look for it and see how I interpret it myself. I still dont like it and think leather and metal look better on a teen or adult than on a baby, but again, that's only my opinion. But I want my kids to be dressed innocently and remain innocent for as long as possible- we're kids for such a short period of time. And I tend to agree with someone earlier, who commented that she doesn't like to express her views through her children, or something along those lines. I don't put controversial things on my baby, but you are right that if someone else wants to do that, it's their business. I still think even if someone says it is *wrong* to do it, than that is still just their opinion. If you feel firmly that it's not wrong than why worry about someone else's opinion? I hear all the time that it's wrong to still let my toddler nurse all night, but I'm not worried about what they think.
