Diaper envy.

The other day, my free sample of the new Huggies Pure and Natural diaper arrived. I thought, "Yay! Three free diapers!" Who doesn't love free stuff? Well, after using them and coming to the conclusion that they're the best diapers ever created, I wanted to write a letter to the CEO of Huggies and ask him how he could do this to me. He should be ashamed of himself! How could he get me addicted and then leave me high and dry? Now I'm suffering withdrawal because who can afford these diapers?! Even with the $3 off coupon they sent me, I still can't rationalize spending $12 for 30 diapers when I can go to BJs and get 264 regular Huggies for $36. Or I could splurge and get 228 Pampers for $36. Of course, neither are made with organic cotton. Who thought I would care about an organic cotton diaper? Now that I've experienced it, all other diapers pale in comparison. It was soooooo soft! Why - WHY - did you send me that damn free sample?!!

This is the description from the Babies R Us website:

"Huggies Pure and Natural Diapers made of organic materials. Discover the pure bliss of a diaper that includes gentle, natural materials. Organic cotton and a touch of aloe & E, fragrance free - and happily hypoallergenic! Designed with unbeatable leakage protection so your child will stay dry. You will feel good about using Huggies Pure and Natural Diapers."Oh, I did discover the bliss, thank you very much. Now, like a good addict, I'm trying to figure out if I really need to eat dinner tonight so my little angel can crap into organic cotton.
