got diapers?

Once upon a time diaper was a diaper was a diaper, all pretty much about the same. Anymore, it seems, the competition is fierce, and the latest innovation is calld Dry Max, by Pampers. You know them because they also make those great swaddling diapers for newborns to ease all that umbilical cord drama.

So these new Dry Max dipes are thinner than other diapers and made with less materials and less packaging. Nice. Also nice, the pricing is the same as current swaddlers and cruisers. These are being launched in tune with the upcoming Winter Olympics (2 more weeks!) which means the new diapers are going to Vancouver with those Team USA athletes toting their wee ones along for the adventure. They are even sending special Team USA-printed versions with the parent-athletes.

Bummer (I couldn’t help myself) that the special Team USA dipes aren’t for sale, but beginning today you can request a free sample pack of the new Dry Max diapers. And if your pack happens to include a Team USA diaper, you win a year’s supply of the new Pampers Dry Max diapers. If you’ve done any diapering, you know that’s a dizzying number (avoiding another tempting pun here) of diapers that you won’t have to pay for. Yes, please. See note below.

Also cool is that Team USA speedskater Chad Hedrick, and skeleton luge champion Noelle Pikus-Pace are documenting their experiences (including their babies) during the Games. Starting February 12, you’ll be able to follow them via pampers.com.
