I always hear the opposite- that the US is so into violence while being such prudes about sex at the same time. I see what you are saying, but I also think that it's part of what you have to take into account. If it bothers you that people might take it that way, then why wear it/put it on your child. If you don't see anything wrong with it, then just wear it proudly and know some people are going to have a different opinion and it won't matter to you. When I look at it, it looks so very adult to me and inappopriate for a baby. Again, that's just my opinion.

Sorry, I didn't mean the people who objected to it for other reasons, like comfort. I meant the people who claimed it was sexual.

I do concern myself with comments that indicate criticism of others. Especially when I believe those comments are based on ignorance.

We *are* prudes. That's why we're so obsessed with sex. Because we repress it.

Just for the record, I personally wouldn't buy this diaper or put it on my baby.

[michray]

I think the main problem is that, rather than everyone who doesn't like the diaper saying "Hey, that just isn't for me..." or "I personally wouldn't like to see my child in that diaper".. some posters basically came out with "WHOA! Who on earth would put their child in a diaper that looks like it was made for some deviant sexual activity??"

I think that those of us who think it is cool are being made to feel like we are some wierd sexual freaks for even considering it as something we would let our children wear!

Noone is saying that you cannot have an opinion.. all I am asking is that everyone remember that they are JUST opinions, and we really should all be a little more careful about our wording of them in a place where there are bound to be differing ones.

Love it, Hate it.. it really DOESN'T matter.. what DOES matter is how we treat each other, yah?

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.

Hmm...I guess I dont get the whip thing. I see a whip as being violent, I mean why else would you have a whip? Just for decoration? So...while your aunt is allowed to have a whip for hitting a rock in anger, sex, whatever, I have to say I CAN understand why people were talking...

Anyways, that was WAY o/t, lmao. I also see this as S&M-ish and if goth, very adult-like, so therefore I personally feel it is inappropiate for a child. I guess its b/c I dont like adult-like costumes or clothing on a child period. Children are so naive and innocent, why put anything on them that suggests otherwise, such as devil costumes, etc (btw Im not christian and dont even believe in the devil so its NOT a religios thing). Anyways, who cares what I think, if you like it, buy it, I personally, again, do not and would not buy that for my child EVER!

Also, Im not bashing the wahm, I think she did this innocentely thinking it would appeal to someone "goth" or for halloween.

I think it is funny as can be and adorable. Maybe too hot for summer, but cute nonetheless. Placing sexual inuendo onto it is on those who do it and imo pretty sad. I think placing army camo on a childs bum is much much more offensive.

So WHAT did she do with her whip?? :LOL I had one (although it was called a crop) when I raised pigs and showed them at the fair. But cant imagine any other reason I'd need a whip, unless its for animals.

She doesn't use it in anger or in sex. But people weren't talking about it being violent. They were convinced that she must use it for sexual purposes.

She likes whips. She considers it a collector's item. She practices whipping it. She goes in the back yard and whips the air, the ground, whatever. It takes skill. It's a hobby.

[Just*Lindsay]

Aha, thanks...I have to say I would have wondered as well, b/c I would have never known it was a hobby, almost a sport, yk? Im not saying I would have judged her but I would have been on of those ones who wondered!

[Simplicity]

It makes me think of Punk/Goth. Nothing S&M at all.

[bleurae]

I have a friend who owns whips as a hobby as well. I also have friends who own em for s&m but that's another story.

[Amylcd]

I go yearly to "leatherfest" (a bdsm gathering lol) and honestly, I have seen very similar shorts/pants on many adults. - that's why the first thing that came to my mind is s&m. I'm sure if i had never actually seen anything like that before I would find it completely innocent.

[shishkeberry]

I didn't think of the diaper as sexual at all when I saw it. I like it There aren't enough goth clothes for kids out there, IMO.

I have been trying to write a brief reply to this thread since I first saw it-and I haven't yet been able to write anything that I feel accurately represents my feelings about this topic. I try very hard to consider peoples feelings prior to posting or running my mouth-let's just say that I go out of my way to NOT hurt peoples feelings if at all possible.

Honestly, my first reaction to this post is empathy for the wahm who made this-it is a very creative and "out of the box" idea IMO, and it has been TOTALLY taken out of context and had an entirely different and unintended shadow cast on it. I realize that posters are sharing their own opinions on the subject-but, isn't there a point at which individual opinion (or, sharing said opinion in a public forum) becomes inappropriate? (say, when voicing your opinion is hurtful or detrimental to others? Or, perhaps when there is absolutely no benefit to anyone in sharing said opinion?)

My father always had this to say about opinions (and it is my opinion that he is right LOL)
"yes, we all have opinions-but, we all have a-holes too and we don't feel obligated to share those-why then should we feel obligated to share our opinions??"

Whether or not a particular item is appropriate for our children is up to each of us as individuals to decide-and I for one would rather make those choices on my own-without public input or approval. Honestly, this thread (like many before) makes me want to cry because of the lack of consideration shown to the wahm involved..

But, again this is my opinion and I realize nobody asked for it (see above on opinions), but I felt like I would be wrong to NOT point out how this COULD be (and most certainly IS) hurtful to her.........

When I saw it I thought "harley baby".

[mamatojack]

Love it!! So original and great for Halloween which it's marketed for. Hats off to the WAHM for such a unique idea.

[bunnyhatanpaa]

i wanted to say sorry if i hurt the WAHMs feelings by posting this topic at all... im sure she wasnt thinking S&M when she made this...it was just the feeling i got....i do really like the other black one with the ruffles it think its super rad...

it just seems that on this type of forum we shold be able to say the things we like about a dipe and the things we dont....without hurting the Whams feelings...just because this dipe is a little much for me doesnt mean i wouldnt buy the other black ruffle one if i had a girl or that i think she is a bad Wham.. or that i think someone is crazy for buying it... KWIM. It would just me crazy for me to think of buying it because the feeling i got.

i know its hard to say things like dislikes without the Wham getting hurt because they are members here too as well..

so i just wanted to say to to maker im sorry if me posting this has hurt your feeling in any way....
