Indeed, I was also quite surprised to find a supplier who sold something other than the usual glossy food wrap.
The plastic indeed feels nice to the touch and makes that tell-take sweet swishing sound when brushing past it. Like you say, the pattern is so small that it’s hard to see, but you definitely can feel and hear the difference.
But I was eventually disappointed by the quality of their plastic pants, or actually, their odd shape. When laid out flat they looked like large men’s underpants, as if someone had taken one and created a pattern from it. There was hardly any real shape to them, no front or back, let alone the sort of room between the legs needed for cloth diapers. Maybe they improved that since then, it’s been a couple of years ago, but they were mostly useless for me.
I was also wondering if anyone else knew about baby-pants.com? I ordered several pair of their Gary “pink stars” plastic pants years ago, because that was then the only place where I could find plastic pants that did not labour under the challenge of a wholly inexcusable lack of surface texturing (aka taffeta embossing).
But their stock ran out, and I concluded that was another last resort dried up.
But some time ago I looked and they now do have several plastic pants that can stifle the wailing of us, poor texture-deprived souls
. But I am serious. If you check out their site, there’s two or three menu entries for plastic pants: one for Gary plastic pants, and there’s a “pastel pink” panty listed there that is described as having a texture on one side. It’s also visible on the picture.
But the other entry “Classic Plastic Pants” has “pink stars” and “blue stars” listed, and both supposedly are from textured plastic.
I just placed an order because I’m curious if they are any good, but there was some issue with PayPal that I hope they can resolve tomorrow (Monday).
I still have two of the old Pink Stars pants, I made these pictures with my phone the other day to show the texture detail. Of course I don’t know if their current pants look the same.
