Also handy for camping: those two single sleeping bags that could zip together into a double! I have never diapered a baby using industrial tape of any kind, but in a pinch (and never was that expression more apt) I have used gaffer's tape instead of lingerie.

La Petite, that is the funniest thing ever! My mom says she used to have to duct tape our diapers on when we figured out how to tear them off. She says nothing else worked. I'll have to remember to give the gift of duct tape at the next baby shower I go to! hahahaha! La Petite, that is the funniest thing ever!

I'm revoking your citizenship, lady. ;) alejna's mention of duct tape made me giggle, as it reminded me of a story my mom told me. Her male cousin was babysitting me, and this was during the time when Pampers had just recently come out on the market. So, it was time to change my diaper, and of course, the poor guy couldn't find any diaper pins. He tried to fiddle with the sticky flaps, but wound up tearing them off by accident. So, in desperation, he looked in the drawers and found a roll of black electrical tape, which he wound around the diaper about 15 times. Mom comes home, sees her child lying happily in the crib with three-quarters of a roll of electrical tape wrapped around her diaper, and her cousin beaming proudly, saying "I changed the baby!"

Yeah, I hear the Steelers are doing well this year. Anonymous, you never happened to watch Blade Runner when you were 9, did you?

Perhaps someone is having some too-tight swaddling flashbacks? Well, I question the courage of conviction when someone cannot even put their own name when being insulting.
