Personalized Diaper Bags are Here to Stay
Remember those kitsch and corny diaper bags of the past decade? It seems that back then, people were only concerned with making the babies look good. What about the moms and dads who break their backs taking care of the kids? That’s where personalized diaper bags become a benchmark in re-styling childcare.
It’s a guy’s world, too
Many men are now happily engaged in childcare. However, do men have to bring feminine bags along when they have to take the kids out to the park or to some fast food restaurant? The answer is no. Companies like Diaper Dude are producing rugged bags that conceal the fact that they carry mostly diapers and milk.
Welcome to the world of personalized diaper bags for men. Not only are these diaper bags rugged, they’d be mistaken more as gun holsters or bullet holders rather than diaper bags. That takes off a lot of pressure from the person, who might be worried that people might think he’s queer from carrying around something that’s traditionally in a woman’s domain.
How rugged is rugged?
Just how rugged are the personalized diaper bags that we just mentioned here? Well, if we are to explore a collection of bags from the same manufacturer, then we would see that they really were designed for males.
Designs range from printed guitars on dark brown bags ($64) to all-black bags with koi fish printed in the center. For those who prefer a military or soldier-like finish to their bags, there is the “Camouflage Peace” bag, which is being retailed for $64 online.
As you can see, most bags for males are actually quite affordable, compared to the more fashionable version for women, which can reach hundreds of dollars. The reason for this perhaps is that males don’t require leather or other types of materials; all they need is finely printed rough surfaces and the rougher the texture, the better.
Should you buy one?
Well, if you want something that would match your daily outfit (probably a shirt and a pair of pants), you might want to use personalized diaper bags that reflect your taste. There’s nothing wrong with using feminine bags, but would you be comfortable?
The most important thing with childcare is being comfortable with what you’re doing. You would not be able to do this if you’re constantly thinking of what people might think of the bag you’re carrying around. So for some peace of mind and greater mobility afterward, you’ll probably do well with the “guy bags”.
