I'm with the others who suggested cloth diapers. Now there's an idea -- and kids LOVE to do "laundry" and hang things up to dry. It'll be like two gifts in one!

This was so funny, Magpie.

Let me know if you'd like some newborn-sized cloth diapers for the doll. They've been used, mind you, by a human baby. Who peed, just like a real baby. (I did wash them.)

I have to confess...Santa MIGHT be bringing KayTar a peeing doll. We told her she couldn't have one as long as SHE was wearing diapers...and a week later she was potty trained. Perhaps we'll have to find some cloth dipes for her dolly, though.

someone gave your daughter that? i think you should make that doll poop in a paper bag and leave it on their front porch.

If i wanted a toy that pooped, i'd get a damned dog. Sheesh!

I have to tell you, I love your disclosures so much when you trash a product.

Also? Wow. That sounds absolutely horrible. For sooooo many reasons.

I had a peeing doll when I was a kid. I got super annoyed by it after, like, a day and never put water in it again.

I'm a bit in shock, that some market researcher in some tall office building thought this was a good idea.

Eh -- go green. Let her cut up a pillowcase, and hand her the safety pins. Teach her to hand wash the diapers.

Someone once gave my #3 a Barbie covered in blue tattoos. We weren't sure what to make of it (was Barbie supposed to date Celtic Ken?), and tossed it on our apartment's giveaway shelf pretty fast. It disappeared, so I guess someone yearned for it...

I had this doll when I was little. I almost underwent sterilization as a result.

2009-11-20T08:20:03.820-05:00

My 4-year old keeps asking for this. I keep saying, to myself, "No way in hell I'm starting to buy diapers again." Seriously, WTF?

2009-11-20T00:16:51.927-05:00

I remember this toy. Bleh, you'd think things would be better now. (then again, why? Ada was making her hand-me-down Barbie sing a song about how it is prettier than me)

2009-11-19T23:05:52.770-05:00

Oh! But I loveloveloved my Baby Alive doll! For at least 3 whole days. I even tried her food myself, which is slightly better than trying cat food.

Anyway, teenage girls already get those fake screaming babies which are way worse than this doll. And that still doesn't stop them.

Yeah, Heidi=brilliant.

Disposable diapers for a doll. Sounds like a job for my Stupidity Czar.

You are not a curmudgeon. You are simply not an idiot.

Thankful over here for that.

And yes, laughing!

Although, I do like heidi's idea of giving them to teenage girls.

My kids picked a tag from one of those Christmas trees for gifts to needy families. The tag requests this exact doll. GREAT!

Laughing over here.

By the way, I just love imagining the toy company paying you to write a review that says one would have to be insane to buy this product! :)

2009-11-19T18:01:55.411-05:00

They are the marketing to the wrong people... I would get them for my girls when they start dating. :-)

a toy that poops. well, isn't THAT a special way to celebrate a birthday...

back in the day, i thought furbies were the devil's own work. there was one memorable birthday party when i had to pull over on the way to the tech museum and put the four (4) ride-along furbies in the trunk, because they were talking to each other. so, there you have my opinion on animatronics
