okay, you choose...yellow or brown (just don't say green, cuz if that's what you're thinking, you really need to re-think your kid's diet! LOL)

I've seen green, is all I'm saying. It's quite a shock, let me tell you.

**** not for the faint of heart *******

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED



EEESH! there's nothing quite like the aroma of the green diaper that smells like cows have been tromping through wet, freshly mown alfalfa

'nuff said!

it was the velcro-like texture that put the final touch to it.

I think I'm with Jon here... cats do throw up occasionally, but at least they don't have to wear nappies!

My conure loves baths. Splashes water all over, just like a sparrow in a birdbath. In fact, occassionally when I walk into the bathroom with him he'll hop in the sink and look hopefully up at the faucet.

I wouldn't give Kia-Ora to a child in nappies for any reason. In fact, given the amount of artificial additives in it, I'm not sure I'd give it to any child if I could possibly find an alternative.

someone else bought it as a treat for her older children. After the nappies she also has banned it, my daughter still won't touch it 17 years later

I'm still way too young to consider kids, so don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Although, having said that, if you knew me, would *you* allow me to have kids either?
