For this past week I have been agonizing over wanting a Goodmama.  I would look at them forlornly on Diaperswappers.  I would wander aimlessly at Spots Corner, stroking all the Goodmamas there.  I would look at the Goodmama site, reading every little bit of information, coveting every diaper they ever made.  I would whine to my husband about how I waaaaaaanted one, and how we neeeeeeded one.  I would dream about the squishiness and how I had plans to rub the new diaper all over my face (to better feel the true squishiness it has to offer).

I suppose that poor Rob just got tired of listening to me whine and lust over these diapers and told me to just buy one.  We’d just not go out for lunch on Sundays for the rest of the month - no big deal.  So Wednesday night I stalked Diaper Swappers.  I stalked Spots Corner.  I searched high and low for the perfect goodmama diaper.  I sent inquiries to a few sellers, not to have anything resolved.

By the time I went to bed, I was having total cold feet and not feeling right about buying a goodmama.  I was second guessing the reason behind why I wanted the diaper.  Was it because they were supposed to be so wonderful?  Did I want to buy it because the “cool kids have them” and thus buying my popularity?  Who, in my life, would even care that Kitten had a goodmama on?  I decided, at that point, that if I am THAT worried about a diaper, maybe it’s just not the brand for me.  I mean, I shouldn’t have to think about something that hard, right?  So I decided that I would look into the other diapers that were similar.

This means I spent more time skulking around on Hyena Cart, and looking to see what I could find that was available.  And?  NOTHING.  If I wanted something in a cotton print, I could get it.  If I wanted a bamboo side snap, I could get one.  But not the front-snap OBV like the goodmamas.  Even using the search tool at Diaper Swappers didn’t seem to help.  Until, that is, I realized that it’s Piddle PODDLES, not Piddle POODLE!  Ha ha ha!

So after I found the right name, I found a beautiful brand new PP with the cutest monster on the butt.  I was so excited and snapped it right up.  We just can’t wait for the diaper to get here (I hate getting stuff from the States!  It takes sooooo long!).  See?  It’s just so adorable, and squishy!

I’ve been on Diaper Swappers for at least a month, and I have been always in awe of this thing called Hyena Cart.  Apparently it’s a website that allows for all sorts of Work-At-Home-Mom’s to sell their wares.  Some of the diapers from Hyena Cart can go for $50-100, especially if there is a bidding war.  I always thought that it was a bit too rich for my blood, and never really bothered to browse.

Friday, I took the plunge and registered at Hyena Cart, just as a shopper.  This allows me to see when the different stores are stocking, I can see the items that I’ve bookmarked as cool, and to enter for some of the stores’ “free for shipping” lottos (meaning that I just have to pay for the shipping).  I was so excited!  I’ve been checking the stocking calendar to see if there is anything that I like on it, if there’s anything that I “need” to have. 

I found a diaper that I like.  I don’t love it.  I’m not even sure why I really want to buy it.  I haven’t decided if it will make me feel like a cool kid because “OMG!  I bought a hyena cart diaper!  I am so cool!”, or if I want to buy it because it will make me feel like a socially responsible consumer (buying from a WAHM instead Big Corporation, Inc.).  I’m really kind of confused for my motive.  I feel like I have a motive because I looked at it and said “cuuuuuuuuute”, but not “I neeeeeeeeed this”!  So, here’s the diaper.  Will someone please go buy it so I won’t?  It’s only $15 plus shipping, and that’s really reasonable for a pocket diaper. (Alternatively, if you’ve used a Trendy Tush Pocket AIO diaper, and you loved it, tell me that too - then maybe I will buy it!)
