Smelly Diapers
We picked up some new diapers for the girl. They have Bob the Builder on them which makes them very attractive as she (the little one, not the wife) is a big fan. What we didn’t know until ripping the bag open is that they are scented. Really scented.
What’s up with that? Is the smell supposed to mask other, supposedly grosser, smells? Perhaps some parents just like their babies smelling like perfume and this is the easiest way to do it. Either way, I can’t stand it.
Besides the fact the perfume smell just bugs me, but (and if you’re not a parent, you may not understand this) it’s much better to smell the poop and do something about it than missing it entirely.
Just say no to smelly diapers.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen scented diapers. I can visualize your annoyance however. In fact it makes me smile. You should consider taking them back to the store and claim they sold smelly diapers.

Is that even healthy to have that stuff against her skin?
Don’t they realize that perfume doesn’t mask smells but simply adds to them? If she wears that it’s going to smell like poop perfume, not like perfume.
