I actually wrote feedback to our nappy provider complaining about the name Motherease. Especially inappropriate as I rarely go near a nappy myself, it's DP's area. I got a nice reply from the nappy people but they didn't agree to change the name.

bobsmum · 28/03/2007 12:38

I thought it was called motherease becuase that's the language mums tends to talk to babies in - that sing song over emphasising voice. I understood that medical professionals had coined the term "speaking motherease" (like chinese/portuguese etc). But agree, that in the case of nappy changing it kind of reinforces the stereotype.

I would advise all haters of irritating nappy names to under no circumstances click on this link. Ever. Just don't.

Don't click here

Happy Clappy Nappy sounds as though it might give you and STD

I think some of the nappy sellers are even worse though (sorry)

staceym11 · 29/03/2007 10:39

fennel · 29/03/2007 10:48

Fatherease, of course

staceym11 · 29/03/2007 10:52

UniSarah · 29/03/2007 12:02

Bumble- bum ball- seems a good description of the shape of DSs but when clad in said nappy.

staceym11 · 29/03/2007 12:07
