Rewind to June 25, 2007
We were at the mall one Sunday, buying stuff for the house. We've avoided this particular aisle for such a long time. But this time, it was the first in our mission: the diaper section.
I was dumbfounded by the expanse of choices (okay, there's some exaggeration here). But how does an inexperienced first-time-as-parents couple make an intelligent choice in buying diapers for the person-beneficiary (yes the baby) who is likewise incapable of expressing her preference. Yes, you're right, we leave it to chance that she doesn't bawl out in the middle of the night because the Velcro (or what do you call that instrument that keeps diapers from falling) - ok let's call it the "thingy", irritates her inner thigh.
First to catch my attention is Huggies. It promises a hug-fit for the baby but what came into my mind is what I can do with Huggies to dispose it. Correct, I can just huggies it at the nearest empty lot (sorry Filipino joke here.)
Pro-kid is also worth trying but I really hope these are pro-parents too. Giggles worry me because that's the last thing I would want my daughter to associate with peeing. Such display might not be acceptable to the formal world. It's just like singing Tim Tam in your head while peeing.
Others are more truthful, straightforward in their brand description. They call their product Weewee. Others tend to really mislead, there's EQ and EQ Dry. What sane parent will let their kid wear a diaper that is not dry.
But there's one diaper that I will never let my child wear. It's called PETPET LAMPIN BAYI PAKAI BUANG. I think this is self-explanatory. I prefer Mamy Poko anytime. It inspires the mommy inside of this street-smart but stay-at-home dad.
