To dislike 'yummy mummy' bags?

[booomy]

Several of my friends have changing bags that cost nearly £80 that is embroidered with 'yummy mummy'. www.johnlewis.com/231429259/Product.aspx

To my understanding, the use of 'yummy' in this context means attractive. I wouldn't want to carry round a statement that basically means your only aim in life is to look good whilst pushing a pram?

Tacktastic :)

Tackiness personified.

I love mine, I'm not a first time mum or a chav or a munter. But so what if I was? I bet my baby will think I'm yummy

My DH has his own black nappy bag.

Awful. The bag is quite discreet though - not as bad the car sunshades.

Euuuurgh. God they are just so awful.

I used a normal bag too.

I thought yummy mummy was an insult?

I'd need one that said slummy mummy, personally. Or scummy mummy, perhaps.

halfspam I like your take on this

Imagine your child thinking you're "yummy". OMG how awful

WTF do normal, rational humans use these words? Are their vocabularies so stunted? Do people really respond to statements by saying '' yum" Sad, inarticulate fuckwits

I had one of these for dc1. Great bag and I have given it as a present to my friends. They seem to use it. It is just a bag, a good quality nice bag. I can assure OP that there is more to my life than pushing pram around . Incidentally, everyone where I live appears to have these Yummy Mummy bags (and you see the blokes carrying them when they have the baby), so for dc2 I changed it to the Mia Il tutto bag, which is beautiful. www.iltutto.com.au/persistent/catalogue_images/products/mia_red.jpg

Loathe them.
They remind me of those joggers that have the word gold digga over the bum.
Ewww.
Naff and common.

i hate them, my friend has one though, and she is totally gorgeous, i thought this would make the bag less chavtastic, but no, she just looks up herself instead of a hopeful munter.and £80??!!! wtaf?!
im with halfspam and the asda/biro combi.

£80 for a bag to carry nappies and wipes in?
(shakes head in wonder....)

how can people think £70-£80 quid for a nappy bag (i will use it every day while they are in nappies, so good value i think)??!!! is remotely reasonable?? i know it's all relative to how much cash you have, but jesus H. that seems such an extraordinary over spend, and can't help thinking it's more of the 'look at my designer baby shit' that always gets on my tits. (bit miserable this morning!!)

I was quite happy with my free one from the Boots parenting club

Well, I think it is nice - but it doesn't pass the male-friendly test! I agree with serotonin, the free Boots one did me fine...

'Yummy Mummy' AND a cupcake..[making an 'about to vomit' face]

Each to their own, if you don't like them then don't buy one, simple as that.

It's not like the bag say something offensive is it? I have two of them and don't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks, maybe they should make one that says just that.... Fuck off :o

I'd definitely buy one of those!

This thread makes me want a fancy nappy bag to replace my free boots one. Please talk some sense into me.

Yanbu.

arthurfowler get a fancy one! You know you want to .

I really think this is one of those things where it's each to their own. I like handbags. Cheap ones, expensive ones, all sorts. I have just had a major cull of them and reckon I still own about 50. So to me, I wanted to have a nice nappy bag because I was going to be using it a lot. The free Boots one is just as practical but it is just not as pretty. As I say, a matter of personal taste.

The Boots one is only any good if you have a bf baby who needs one nappy change a day. It didn't get anywhere near carrying the nappies/wipes/bags/cream/change of clothes/bottles/cartons/wallet/phone/keys/comb etc that I needed to put in it. Was useless.

I think thy are over rated. But then my change bag is a £15 pros ports messenger bag from amazon with a funky pattern lol

£80?!?!!?
There must be some very well off people able to buy these!!!

Hmmmm, I suppose when DD is on solids I WILL need more space....
