More Diaper Photos

Toree has recieved her diapers! Here's what she says:

"I GOT MY DIAPERS!!! Fist of all, she claimed she was sending them several times. Then claimed to have sent them on May 7th, but the post mark is May 11th. Nearly 3 months after I ordered them!! The address I have on the "package" is:

PO BOX 3817
Paducah, KY 42002-3817

Here is the "package" I got:


The delivery confirmation # was never emailed to me. However, it was on the package. I tracked it back to the post office in Paducah.

And now on to the actual diapers themselves...


4 out of 5 were the fabric i picked out. They have a faint smell of cigarette, but mostly just smell musky. The soaker is 1-3 layers of whatever fabric she had laying around.

Here are the two I cut open:



The 5th one was completely weird. It felt very hard and stiff. So I cut it open and guess what's inside??? A TABLE CLOTH!!!!!!!! Hmmmm, sound familiar??? Here is the inside of them. This one has a table cloth inside:


The others have PUL inside, but it's only a strip of PUL.


The stitching isn't bad. 4 of them are actually not terrible, for $5 anyways. i would NOT consider them to be AIO's (which is what I ordered) but more like fitteds. The main thing wrong with them is that they tabs are not long enough to fit around a baby's body to velcro them to the front. So even if they were the best materials, they still would be unusable."

Okay, folks. You may have heard rumors that there's a lady who sells $5 diapers online that are made with tablecloth material instead of PUL, and we might just have finally tracked her down. And what is that brown fabric that she lined the last diaper with, felt? Honestly? 100% polyester, water-resistant, non-washable, FELT? This is not just atrocious workmanship, it's false advertizing. Her website specifically says the soaker is 3 layers of flannel, which is really not nearly enough, anyway. (Not to mention the PUL she promised.) And this is not the first person I've heard from who hasn't even been able to put the diaper on their baby because the tabs won't fit. How do you decide to make diapers for sale without ever actually trying one of your diapers on a baby?

One last thing - I'v just become more convinced about the Prep and Posh connection. Not only has Prep and Posh been accused of using tablecloths instead of PUL, as we see happening here, but look at the velcro tabs. See the square of velcro on the outside of the tabs that's for crossing the tabs over one another on a small baby? None of the diapers pictured on Ladys and Lads have that. The ones on Prep and Posh do.
