What turns you off about some prints?

pixy_stix

What is it about some prints that just completely turns you off?

For example, I think a lot of deer prints are cute, BUT they always have mushrooms on them.  I hate mushroom prints.

Yours?

Batik and tie dye look like moldy diapers to me

jenny1980

Funny. I love mushroom prints (but it's ironically one of the only foods I don't like eating

I don't like anything military or with guns on diapers.

Words. I don't like prints with words on them. 

I also don't like baby clothes with words on them. Carters, especially, has a problem with ruining a perfectly cute onesie with some stupid "Daddy's little trucker" or somesuch.

Anything that makes a political statement. He's a baby not a billboard. 

MallratsMom

anything too baby or overly cutsie

Owls!  I don't get the love.  And gnomes are a little freaky to me too.

Gnomes are way freaky.  One of our neighbors has gnomes in her front yard, and I'm constantly side-eying them.

I thought of another - rainbows.  It takes a lot to get me to buy a rainbow print.

I hate tiny repeating patterns...half the time, you can't even tell what the little image is of!

words. i hate words on diapers.  i also agree that gnomes are freaky.

I definitely don't get the skull love, on diapers or anything else.  Also no guns for sure.  I don't like prints that don't make sense on a diaper, like when the way it gets cut is almost impossible to see a full word/picture/scene...  Also don't like cutesy babyish - DS pretty much dresses like a little man.

Skulls or skeletons..

jgilesslp

I just have to comment about the skulls and skeletons.  I hate them to but guess who has skull rainboots?  DS does because as we were looking for froggie ones my DS got all excited about the "pirate boots" and I had just noticed them and was thinking who buys that for their kid?  Me now!  Amazing how we can see things totally different than a child.  I see skull and crossbone...my son sees pirates

dislike: guns, too much white, baby blue prints, most character prints (ie, Disney Cars, Mickey Mouse, Toy Story... even though I love the characters. The exception here I think is Star Wars) anything too babyish

like: pirates, skeletons (I have glow in the dark skeletons with sneakers), dr seuss, prints that otherwise would be strange (ie, green eggs and bacon)

 

I think if I had a girl my likes would be different. DH doesn't allow anything even slightly girly. Which is fine by me.  

vhcoleman09

Skulls.

monona9

I agree on gnomes, they're kind of weird. I also don't like tie dye style, or guns etc. I also don't think I would put a diaper/fluff that is mostly black on my DD, or I haven't found one I like yet.

lar1203

anything prince/ princess-y, skulls, guns, camo, animal prints ie. leopard print, superheroes, cartoon characters

pixy_stix

ooo... yeah I don't do animal print either.

Nikki1007

oh and characters.  don;t like licensed characters on anything.  I have nothing against them, just nms.

THIS. I also am not a fan of any skulls/crossbones, etc... I know there are a lot of fans of them on here, but I just feel like it's such a morbid symbol that doesn't belong on a child. 

broomy

Camo, Disney characters, and tie-dye are the worst.

I'm also not a fan of any general sports print (like little footballs, basketballs, etc.). However, if anyone ever made a Dodgers diaper, I'd be all over that with my wallet wide open.

I feel like I'm really picky with prints. I don't like animal prints, guns and other things that aren't appropriate for children, Disney and other cartoon characters, prints with words on them, overly girly (princess, sparkles, etc), skulls and crossbones, camo, overly babyish (baby blues, pinks, etc), most dr. Seuss prints depending on the colors, sports, peace signs, butterflies... I'm sure there's more. One specifically that I know a lot of people like is the battle on print. I think it's scary and super creepy! 

I really like *some* gnome prints, owls, rainbows, and mushrooms! I think I'm mainly picky about the colors though, so I could totally be swayed to like something that I normally wouldn't go for depending on the color scheme.

veruca5839

anything with camo, animal prints, princess-y things, guns, batik, or prints where the image is so far apart that when it's made into a diaper you get a ton of space and just see half of the print or less.

ETA: just thought of some more...tie-dye, peace signs, Disney, most Dr. Seuss.  And I totally agree on the gnomes, they're creepy.

emsrdh03

No camo or animal prints (zebra, leopard, etc).

Also not a fan of large prints...looks cute on the preview, but you know you'll get a sh*tty cut and won't be able to tell what it is.

pugznploons

animal prints, military prints, and kind of related I hate when someone takes a perfectly good diaper and tie dyes it themselves (always looks like ass) or embroiders something on the butt.  I think it kills the re-sale value, lol.

Yes, this! I really dislike embroidered diapers and amateur tie dye jobs. It does not make the diaper look any better, period. 

MWoodside

I don't like skulls, cartoon characters, camo or sports team related prints.  I also don't care for most florals.  I have 1 floral diaper & it took a long time for it to grow on me.

This.  And I'll add into this category any prints with absolutely adorable wide-eyed forest animals.  There's a South Park episode that has ruined cutesy woodland creatures for me for life.

Also, I'll admit that I don't really like large floral prints, but that's kind of irrelevant because DH would kill me if I put flowers on DS.

Exchange Braves with Dodgers and I feel exactly the same about all the above.

simplyatomic

I'm not a fan of the tie dye either but I can't really think of anything I dislike. I have pirate obsessed kids so they see skulls and skeletons as pirates not dead things. Can I also complain most diapers for boys are camo or with a transportation theme? lol

lauraandlee

Well, you know my feelings about licensed prints, since they're generally being illegally sold, I don't buy them as a matter of principle. 

Other than that, I'm not a fan of camo, but other than that, I love most everything.  I'm a sucker for fabric

ChristinaMT4

I'm new to CDing and have mostly bought solids so far. I'm really picky about prints. I've only seen a few that I love. I am surprised that so many don't like tie dye, I love it! Unfortunately I haven't seen any yet that are up to my standard for tie dye. The Butterbears pockets are okay, and there are a few shops on Etsy that sell really pretty tie dye prefolds, but I haven't found anything I would spend money on yet.

kacelle

I love mushroom prints.  

I don't like ooga booga prints, owls, camouflage, and most prints with text.
