I just don't like using the words "I don't like the features of this diaper b/c it didn't work for my baby." You CAN still like and appreciate a diaper, even if it doesn't work for your baby, and give neutral feedback saying so.

So sorry mamas I must have missed this. The "do X diapers work well with chunky babies?" etc.. Is fine. The Y diaper is so bad it leaks so horribly like it's made our of an old tarp.

Openly bashing any business or questioning ethics or anything of that matter does NOT belong on DS

am I making sense? I don't feel like I'm making sense

Why is the "what companies do you boycott" thread in off topic okay? It violates this rule. There is a some harsh bashing going on there compared to some threads that have been deleted recently.
