doctorbees
Okay, but pink and purple diapers are fine for boys too, right?
ripvancrinkle
Yeah its just easier to broadcast the babies gender in color schemes tho otherwise people will frequently ask if its a girl/boy
catsandcheetos
I think so! It would save them from having to buy more and their boy would be fabulous.
GalactusTheGreat
I've never seen diapers like that.
RaefWolfe
They're cloth diapers, not disposable ones. That's probably what's confusing.
ominousdusk
They are a lot more popular now. I use them on both my kids. Saved thousands of dollars
MellowButDramatic
Modern cloth nappies mate. They're a world away from the old terry-toweling jobs.
mendrak
Cloth diapers usually have a cover and then the cloth part fits inside. These look like it's an all-in-one type deal.
Me and my business partner, both aerospace engineers have designed these diapers. Have a look at our website: www.lilhelperdiapers.com
TamiRotten
I'm totally buying diapers from you guys soon! Do you ever work with bloggers?

Tell me about the engineering of these diapers. I seriously want to know (I'm an engineer).

There is only 1 rule at Lil Helper: treat everyone like you would like to be treated. Everything else follows organically.
These things really matter! I'll be sharing this story about this company.
Thank you very much! The only kind of advertising we can afford is word of mouth. We are bootstrapped and survive on WOM.

As a father who has lost a child 7 months into a pregnancy, this makes me so happy to see that people understand what we endure afterwards
Schnuzzlebean
I too lost my son at 30 weeks.This truly was an awful part. Trying to explain to potential buyers that they were new and unused. It broke me
I'm awfully sorry for your loss. I feel sometimes people don't understand the seriousness of losing a child mid term, compared to post birth
I know. The amount of people whi would dismiss it as "oh I had a miscarriage too" was heart breaking. No. No. NOT a miscarriage
You don't go through labour with a miscarriage. You don't bury a miscarriage. It is very different. I know I've had two miscarriages too

It's kinda funny. I agree with this sentiment 100% however, providing this type of service got me fired.

It's more a case of just giving people what they want. Bezos got it absolutely right with Amazon.

tbh, I really feel like this shouldn't be views as a marketing strategy rather (as Mohammed says) a family helping a family.

imnicetopeopleontheinternet
the avg customer tells 8-10 ppl about bad service, only 1 person about good service Acquiring a new customer costs 5x retaining 1.
Pieala
If I find good merchants I always spread the word to my close friends. Not to everybody because they'll overrun and ruin the place.
sarahrahrahrah
And this is another reason why I try to call both an immediate manager and corporate when I encounter amazing employees.
so yeah, you're dead on
AskewniverseBallooniverse
This customer told 114k people about good service so far, probably outnumbers any bad that small company will ever have.
for sure. average customer isn't a viral interaction though, so best practice is to be nice to everyone
Bloax
And don't forget that being bad can also go viral. Oh boy are you going to be in the shitter for that.
Danielism
I read that in John Taffers voice
paddythelion
Which is why they donated $40 instead of the full retail price. Just sayin'.
kgbofficer
They refunded everything they were trying to sell entirely and donated the $40 to another child in her memory.
Ah, that clarifies it. I admit I didn't read all of it, it was quite substantial.
FreshCaviar
Not to mention the cost of marketing to actually acquire the new customer.
eddysamson
It blows my mind that business has evolved away from this. Why is it so rare? Why can't people just help people even when money is involved?
maxwilder
I suspect it's because the larger you are, the more likely you will have "customers" abusing your kindness. Some people really suck.
PedestrianElectrobastard
They actually teach this kind of attitude in marketing classes nowadays. Well, they teach you the other kind of attitudes too...
ElPoloDiablo
Evolved away? At large scale businesses were never really at a stage where they cared too much about customers anyway.
CGriffo124
Idk I've had pretty good dealings with Blizzard whenever I've needed their help. They've even given some free stuff from time to time.
Of course it's highly dependent on the company, but overall large businesses were never pretty.

Well once you establish a monopoly you don't need to give fucks, and after a certain amount of customers statistics become more important. 1
ChrisDaPatriot
Sort of twistedly funny that giant corporations are considered people by the courts in the US and then they treat people as numbers.
Well ultimately they're just numbers to the government too, just like us. Easier to please though, since each contribute more individually.

I mean this guy did a GREAT thing in refunding the money and being supportive. I just thought it seemed a little passive aggressive that (1)
he was like YOU MUST KEEP THESE. Good on him for refunding them, but she can still do what she wants with her diapers.. lol

Gandhi's a fairly common surname.

Combined Muslim first name and Hindu surname probably not very common.
India's got the largest Muslim population of any non-Muslim country.

As a side note for breastfeeding moms- get the washable nursing pads, so much better for you and cheaper in the long run.

why cant you use cloth with boys?

It's really not that bad of a process as long as you take care of the diapers. It's also great for the environment and the baby, too!

I have 4 month & I'm doing cloth & I fucking LOVE it!! Disposables are a crap way of keeping the crap in--they will make you lose your crap.
[deleted]
Serious question, where do you wash them? Do you just wash poopy diapers in the kitchen sink or throw them in the washing machine. 1/
2/ If so does poopy diapers mess up the washing machine over time?
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
If you recycle your bottles, cans and papers. There is no reason why you couldn't do this, disposable ones are pretty dreadful on landfill.
My bottles, cans and papers aren't filled with poop. Smells are about the only thing make me gag.
capitalistpiglet
But there is just so much more poop handling. As a parent of a baby I try to minimize that as much as possible
fishnugget1
There's really not. I use cloth, mostly I just roll it off into the loo. 100 times better than having a bin of turds. Plus no poosplosions
I'm the oldest of three and studying to be an ecotoxicologist. Cloth diapers = better for the environment, but...so much poop. I hate poop
takethatwizardglick
properly fitting cloth diapers usually have less poop handling than disposables, which have more blow outs. I CD'd 4 kids from birth
pigstails
There are biodegradable liners available wich you can flush, so very little poop handling is necessary!
yetinafloatie
using "biodegradable" it means it decompose in less years than a regular one but the problem to landfill remains. Cloth diapers are better
You're right, but liners in cloth diapers are still better for the environment than disposable diapers.
I get that, i've had to change 1 diaper, my godson's. And was just like "how the HELL have you got crap all up your back?*oh barf*"
Icantthinkofacoolusernamethathasntbeentaken
That tends to be a problem linked to disposables, cloth ones seem to contain much better!
madamvastra
As a nanny whose tiniest charge uses cloth diapers, it isn't that bad if you have good ones. You learn proper poop-handling technique fast.
You are gonna wash poop anyway because disposables blow out all over their cloths. Cloth does not
IDontSeeEnoughDarkTowerOnImgur
As a dad who's wife decided to do this, it's pretty smart stuff. Aside from environment yada yada it actually saves a lot of money.

Let me tell you something. This is true. They make cloth pads similar to this. For ladies' periods. Reusable, washable pads.
I use them. Softer more comfortable no irritation. My periods are lighter and I have no more cramping.

How can that be? I don't get how you have ligter periods and no cramps just by using this
I get nasty cramps from the chemicals in them. I switched to the cup and don't get them any more.

The chemicals in disposable pads make your periods worse than that have to be. I don't know that much just for me and many people its 1
DeansCas
People used to do this all the time. It's way cheaper than buying pads every month. Like reusable diapers, you give up convenience for it.
Give up convenience? Maybe I guess. The trade off is lighter periods and less cramping and no irritation though so I don't see it that way
How does it give you ligther periods?

Shouldn't matter what color a diaper is, boys can shit in pink just as easily as blue.
The color difference isn't for the baby its so people can easily tell if its a boy or girl without asking. Trust me it gets old fast
DrHeinzOofenshmirtz
I think in this case the pink diapers would be a constant reminder of the lost girl. Good idea to start fresh.

It was seen as diluted blood color. Their pink was more of salmon pink though, but it's still diluted red hues.
Weird. As with a lot of concepts back then as viewed from todays perspective.
High heels were originally worn by dudes too.
Yeah, I recently read that one. Social fads do strange things over time.

I am so against gender colour specific clothes. My children will wear all the colours!
My wife keeps our son in mostly blue just because it's her favorite color. People talk the gneder specific shit all the time.
wearing pink or not until their old enough to not wear diapers anymore.
*they're
For babies though its easier to wear those colors so others can tell your childs gender easily. Their babies they dont give a shit about 1/2
why would others need to tell my babies gender easily?
It makes it easier to interact so you aren't constantly being asked if its a boy or a girl. Its a small thing, but it makes a difference
Because a lot of people get offended when you say "aww look at him" when its a girl. With some babies its hard to tell early on
And it makes it easier for others to say oh "shes/hes so cute" and you wont have to correct them bc the color shows that its a boy/girl
I respect that you value how others react to you in public but I don't. Its not a big deal to me. Thanks for your advice :)

They're cloth diapers, not disposable ones. That's probably what's confusing.
ominousdusk
They are a lot more popular now. I use them on both my kids. Saved thousands of dollars
MellowButDramatic
Modern cloth nappies mate. They're a world away from the old terry-toweling jobs.
mendrak
Cloth diapers usually have a cover and then the cloth part fits inside. These look like it's an all-in-one type deal.
ryeter
Me and my business partner, both aerospace engineers have designed these diapers. Have a look at our website: www.lilhelperdiapers.com
TamiRotten
I'm totally buying diapers from you guys soon! Do you ever work with bloggers?
theicklestone
Tell me about the engineering of these diapers. I seriously want to know (I'm an engineer).

Eyy Ryerson! Seriously though, what makes aerospace engineers want to design diapers? You should do an AMA, I think people would like it!

As a father who has lost a child 7 months into a pregnancy, this makes me so happy to see that people understand what we endure afterwards
Schnuzzlebean
I too lost my son at 30 weeks.This truly was an awful part. Trying to explain to potential buyers that they were new and unused. It broke me
Ghoulman51
I'm awfully sorry for your loss. I feel sometimes people don't understand the seriousness of losing a child mid term, compared to post birth
Schnuzzlebean
I know. The amount of people whi would dismiss it as "oh I had a miscarriage too" was heart breaking. No. No. NOT a miscarriage
Schnuzzlebean
You don't go through labour with a miscarriage. You don't bury a miscarriage. It is very different. I know I've had two miscarriages too

the avg customer tells 8-10 ppl about bad service, only 1 person about good service Acquiring a new customer costs 5x retaining 1.

If I find good merchants I always spread the word to my close friends. Not to everybody because they'll overrun and ruin the place.

And this is another reason why I try to call both an immediate manager and corporate when I encounter amazing employees.

so yeah, you're dead on
AskewniverseBallooniverse
This customer told 114k people about good service so far, probably outnumbers any bad that small company will ever have.
imnicetopeopleontheinternet
for sure. average customer isn't a viral interaction though, so best practice is to be nice to everyone
Bloax
And don't forget that being bad can also go viral. Oh boy are you going to be in the shitter for that.

I read that in John Taffers voice
paddythelion
Which is why they donated $40 instead of the full retail price. Just sayin'.
kgbofficer
They refunded everything they were trying to sell entirely and donated the $40 to another child in her memory.
paddythelion
Ah, that clarifies it. I admit I didn't read all of it, it was quite substantial.
FreshCaviar
Not to mention the cost of marketing to actually acquire the new customer.
eddysamson
It blows my mind that business has evolved away from this. Why is it so rare? Why can't people just help people even when money is involved?
maxwilder
I suspect it's because the larger you are, the more likely you will have "customers" abusing your kindness. Some people really suck.
PedestrianElectrobastard
They actually teach this kind of attitude in marketing classes nowadays. Well, they teach you the other kind of attitudes too...
ElPoloDiablo
Evolved away? At large scale businesses were never really at a stage where they cared too much about customers anyway.
CGriffo124
Idk I've had pretty good dealings with Blizzard whenever I've needed their help. They've even given some free stuff from time to time.
ElPoloDiablo
Of course it's highly dependent on the company, but overall large businesses were never pretty.
NexiKuro
Well once you establish a monopoly you don't need to give fucks, and after a certain amount of customers statistics become more important. 1
ChrisDaPatriot
Sort of twistedly funny that giant corporations are considered people by the courts in the US and then they treat people as numbers.
NexiKuro
Well ultimately they're just numbers to the government too, just like us. Easier to please though, since each contribute more individually.

Serious question, where do you wash them? Do you just wash poopy diapers in the kitchen sink or throw them in the washing machine. 1/
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
2/ If so does poopy diapers mess up the washing machine over time?
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
If you recycle your bottles, cans and papers. There is no reason why you couldn't do this, disposable ones are pretty dreadful on landfill.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
My bottles, cans and papers aren't filled with poop. Smells are about the only thing make me gag.
capitalistpiglet
But there is just so much more poop handling. As a parent of a baby I try to minimize that as much as possible
fishnugget1
There's really not. I use cloth, mostly I just roll it off into the loo. 100 times better than having a bin of turds. Plus no poosplosions
catsandcheetos
I'm the oldest of three and studying to be an ecotoxicologist. Cloth diapers = better for the environment, but...so much poop. I hate poop
takethatwizardglick
properly fitting cloth diapers usually have less poop handling than disposables, which have more blow outs. I CD'd 4 kids from birth
pigstails
There are biodegradable liners available wich you can flush, so very little poop handling is necessary!
yetinafloatie
using "biodegradable" it means it decompose in less years than a regular one but the problem to landfill remains. Cloth diapers are better
pigstails
You're right, but liners in cloth diapers are still better for the environment than disposable diapers.
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
I get that, i've had to change 1 diaper, my godson's. And was just like "how the HELL have you got crap all up your back?*oh barf*"
Icantthinkofacoolusernamethathasntbeentaken
That tends to be a problem linked to disposables, cloth ones seem to contain much better!
madamvastra
As a nanny whose tiniest charge uses cloth diapers, it isn't that bad if you have good ones. You learn proper poop-handling technique fast.
ominousdusk
You are gonna wash poop anyway because disposables blow out all over their cloths. Cloth does not
IDontSeeEnoughDarkTowerOnImgur
As a dad who's wife decided to do this, it's pretty smart stuff. Aside from environment yada yada it actually saves a lot of money.

Let me tell you something. This is true. They make cloth pads similar to this. For ladies' periods. Reusable, washable pads.

People used to do this all the time. It's way cheaper than buying pads every month. Like reusable diapers, you give up convenience for it.

Shouldn't matter what color a diaper is, boys can shit in pink just as easily as blue.
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
The color difference isn't for the baby its so people can easily tell if its a boy or girl without asking. Trust me it gets old fast
DrHeinzOofenshmirtz
I think in this case the pink diapers would be a constant reminder of the lost girl. Good idea to start fresh.
JustASlightJingleOfPocketChangePulsing

ripvancrinkle
For babies though its easier to wear those colors so others can tell your childs gender easily. Their babies they dont give a shit about 1/2
kittymack
why would others need to tell my babies gender easily?
ripvancrinkle
It makes it easier to interact so you aren't constantly being asked if its a boy or a girl. Its a small thing, but it makes a difference
TooLazyToDoSomethingElse
Because a lot of people get offended when you say "aww look at him" when its a girl. With some babies its hard to tell early on
ripvancrinkle
And it makes it easier for others to say oh "shes/hes so cute" and you wont have to correct them bc the color shows that its a boy/girl
kittymack
I respect that you value how others react to you in public but I don't. Its not a big deal to me. Thanks for your advice :)
