Which word do you like better?
Which word do you like better?
I'm just curious which word you guys use more. I have kind of an odd viewpoint of it (bear in mind, I'm a Texan, so it's odd to me).
To me, diaper sounds more like a teasing kind of word. Like, if I were to want to be an adult who's put in diapers, I'd want to be put in diapers, not nappies. That said, if I wanted to be a baby, I think being put in nappies sounds better.
Weird mix, I know. I'm curious about what you guys think.

Sometimes it's fun for me to go a bit further and refer to them as pull-ups or Bambinos or whatever is appropriate - such as, "Her giggling made me drench my Bambinos."
If I'm in a "play" mode, Jenna's word "diapie" is fun.
Next to those, "diaper" would be my preference over "nappy" - only because I'm an American I would guess.
Of course, words like "brief" or "absorbent garment" should be banned from sites like this and from our vocabulary.

and I hate to think of all the fun I would have missed if I actually had stopped wetting the bed - like hanging out at fun sites like this one!

I agree with that. In fact, I love saying "Pampers" or "Huggies" because they sound so babyish. Plus, Pampers and Bambinos both sound adorable because of the "b" and "p" sounds. "Look at you, waddling around in your Pampers! *giggles*" . . . and so on.Craig wrote:Sometimes it's fun for me to go a bit further and refer to them as pull-ups or Bambinos or whatever is appropriate - such as, "Her giggling made me drench my Bambinos."

Of course you don't Jenna. The fact that I made those two comments, one right after the other, was purely coincidental. I didn't mean to imply that there was any relationship between those two comments.Craig wrote:

I wouldn't know anything about how those two are related. Nope. Not at all.

I'm glad you were so quick to note that and to call it to my attention.
Just relax and have a Pepsi or two.
Your friend,

Hiya Mommy Lexus - thanks for getting us back on track here - almost sounded like we'd switched from a diaper/nappy poll to a Coke/Pepsi!!! Next it will be Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge trucks. (Ducks)
