Is orange PUL the color of a traffic cone?  

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Just got my order from verybaby, and it's so much bolder than I'd expected. I was thinking orange like the fruit. This is orange like a road-work sign. I'm wondering if I got the neon by mistake.

Anyone know?

yeah, it's pretty awful (and I really love orange)

Oh, neon orange is even worse. Go with "melon" if you're looking for a citrus-y orange.

Hehehe...just had to reply to this post We have an orange Snap-Ez diaper which, judging by the online photo, was supposed to be a medium orange, yeah like the fruit. What I got instead was "Stop the traffic", "deer hunter" orange!

You can spot Dd#2 from a mile away!

(Which isn't a bad thing.... but we've gotten some strange looks as the orange even glows through clothing!)

: And I'm kind of stuck with it since return shipping would cost about as much as the fabric itself. Oh well. Good thing I only bought a yard.

I have neon orange and personally, I love it. I've made my son lots of diapers with it. You can't really do these with any other color...http://farm1.static.flickr.com/251/5...e63108d5_o.jpg

Ah ha! I've been trying to figure out what to do with this bright orange Pul I got. I'm so going to steal your idea. Since I've got a whole yard, I'm going to make a couple in each size.

I was given some of the bright orange by a friend who decided it was too bright for her...I made a wetbag and thought, gee, what will I do with the rest...then I paired it with a leopard print flannel for mama cloth. Ooolala! That was cool!

I later bought a yard of the melon expecting something like canteloupe...nope, it was so bright! I actually thought they'd sent me the wrong color, so I went and dug out the wetbag. Oh wow, yeah, melon really is paler! I have paired it with black inner (halloween diaper), and also with red and yellow (autumn colors--it's really cute actually). I started off diapering thinking I'd want all these sedate pastel colors, but you know, one of my favorite things about cloth diapers is the vibrant colors--show off those happy CD tooshies!!!
(And if you really hate it, use it for wetbags, or as the invisble layer inside something, or for mama cloth)
