Diaper Bag to Haul the Poop Around

Yeah, you work that $20 diaper bag from Wal-Mart

POOP BAGSSSSSSS! "Ew why call them that" you say? Well because dear readers, while people do not often put poopy diapers back INTO diaper bags, I'm totally going to have to. I plan on cloth diapering, which means I need a little bag inside the diaper bag to put used diapers. I'm going to need a smell-proof bag. Pretty sure they sell them at Stoners R Us and www.legalizeweed.com [note: not an actual website]

So, let's talk about these bags. I always kinda thought they were silly? Like I have tons of bags, I don't need a special one, I'll just throw some diapers in a bag and I'm off. HO boy. Yeah, glad I realized my mistake before I actually tried to take a baby out with just some diapers thrown in a bag. First of all, diaper bags have SO MANY POCKETS! As a person who doesn't buy a dress or skirt if it doesn't have pockets and had a total meltdown when I realized I ordered some pants with fake pockets AND almost bought a wedding dress based solely

on the fact that it had pockets, pockets are a BIG. FREAKING. DEAL. The first diaper bag I have to show you is this $20 bag from Wal-Mart. It's super cute, with letters all over it, but not overly cutesy with pastel animals and crap. The colors are versatile, in case someone in the relationship is uncomfortable carrying a 'gendered' bag (The Ginger liked the purple one, while I hated it and wanted something neutral). The price is obviously very nice and low-cost. I don't remember if it comes with a changing mat or not but SO MANY POCKETS! It also has about a million matching things, such as a carseat, high chair, and rocking baby-chair. If you're into that. Barf.

I also really like this messenger-style diaper bag from Babies R Us. It's twice as much as the Wal-Mart diaper bag though at $45. I like how you wouldn't really know it's a diaper bag and the accessible wipes pocket is cool too. Except for when your hands are all poopy and you're frantically grasping for a wipe in a public restroom... Hope the fabric is easily wiped down... I'm also, again, a fan of the neutral color. But... $45? That's pretty steep. It's also not Wal-Mart though, which is another plus.

Here's another one from Babies R Us that I like. I'm pretty sure it'd be a shit diaper bag, BUT LOOK AT THE SPOTS! I just love spotsssssss! It's also $45 and the strap looks pretty crap but I do love that design!

  1. I'm enjoying what I'm reading! But I'll tell you, I haven't given a lot of thought to diaper bags. You do make a girl think... Cool wedding dress.
