Its so cute when a husband carries a diaper bag. Okay, so only a mother can really say that. I know my husband isn’t too fond of my flowery backpack, or my berry leather tote. He’ll carry it, about as far from his body as it will reach. But, being the father of 2, there have certainly been times when he’s been in need of a diaper carrier. Admittedly, he doesn’t need the things moms need. He’s a guy—he needs the basics. 2 diapers and a pack of wipes. The rest can stay in the car.
Rather than a large, overpacked, sparkly and trendy bag, he chooses to carry a diapee & wipee. A lightweight, cotton pouch, diapees & wipees easily fit 2-3 large diapers and a wipes travel case. The envelope flap attaches with Velcro—allowing the diapers to stay unwrinkled.
It’s been great as a grab ‘n go for him… and for me. No matter where I go, my diapee and wipee goes with me. It fits easily into all my diaper bags, and even in most of my handbags. I’ll admit that every now and then my diaper bag will be a bit crumby on the bottom. Cluttered with Cheerios, goldfish and crayon shavings. And, ewww, how gross when these crumbs get caught into my boys’ diapers! Keeping the diapers and wipes in their diapee & wipee allows for the occasional crumby days in the black-hole of the bag, and the diapers stay nice and clean.
Usually, I carry 2 diapees & wipees—one for each son. Before Carson was potty trained, each diapee & wipee carried the appropriate size diapers. Now that he’s in big boy underpants(!), I keep a spare pair and a pair of shorts stuffed inside.
When we go out, I grab my third diapee & wipee. Another easy grab ‘n go, this one holds our dinner entertainment necessities: crayons, a small notepad, matchbox cars, stickers, and a small container of Play-Doh.
How do I keep it all straight? Diapees & Wipees are available in a variety of fabrics—some more child friendly, some more stylish and Precious Personalities personalizes them. The majority of our diapees & wipees orders are personalized– so that Grandma knows not to put size 2 diapers on 4-year-old big brother, so that day care providers can easily identify the correct pouch, and because we all love our child’s name—and want to see it on everything.
Not sure you’ll love the cotton? BumBags serve the same purpose. A bit larger and finished with a laminate for easy wipe and clean, the BumBags also hold 2-3 diapers and a wipes case and close with velcro.
The perfect add-on for a baby shower gift or a great gift for any parent with kiddos in diapers, diapees & wipees are only $14.99 and BumBags are on sale for $20 at Precious Personalities. Both are available with free shipping and personalization is an extra $5 (on the diapee & wipee only.)
