horrifying thought of the day...

Used diapers. For sale. Via the internet. Seriously, I couldn't make up something this twisted.

Yes, the proprietors of this fine website really are offering new and "gently used" cloth diapers, so that the experimental parent doesn't break the bank trying out new diapers.

I found a brand new pair listed for 11.99, which is a bit much, but then again, that diaper is obviously be the Cadillac of cloth diapers.

On the other hand, I found, in the "Bargain Bin" section (once again I have to stress that I am not making this up, a used diaper website actually has a bargain bin - oh, the horror), a pair for 1.99, which were listed in "good/OK condition" with "a couple of holes near right leg gather area," for the bargain shopping parent who doesn't mind a little leakage. Ewww.

But my favorite part of this site (and there are many gems buried there) are the rating definitions:

"new (never washed or worn),
like new (just washed),
excellent (next to new),
great (perfect working order),
good (minimal wear),
ok (functional--not fancy)"

LIKE NEW??? Maybe these people don't realize that THEY'RE SELLING USED DIAPERS, for crying out loud. I mean, does it matter that they were "just washed"? And does that imply that any diaper listed in excellent, great, good, or ok condition has not been just washed? This is too scary.

But, dear used-diaper shopper, rest assured, "All products have no stains, rips or tears unless mentioned in the description."


I'm gonna be sick
