Just think about how many used condoms there must be somewhere in the world. All the condoms you’ve ever used. And your grandparents. And theirs. Surely they could be made out of some of those plant-based plastics that are currently being developed?
And don’t get me started about disposable nappies.
Regarding nappies: you can start ‘potty training’ pretty much as soon as they’re born. It is babies instinct to try not to soil themselves. This is why it’s so common for parents to get peed on the moment they take off their baby’s nappy. You mostly just have to give your baby lots of opportunities, be attentive to signs they need to go (usually wriggling or squirming), and associate a word/sound/gesture, for them to communicate it to you. I can count the number of times our daughterhas shat herself on one hand, and she’s nearly three years old. For a lot of parents and babies/toddlers it’s a daily occurance. It’s crazy when you think that you have to ‘potty train’ children precisely because you’ve taught them to soil themselves in the first place.
Hope this proves useful to someone. Feel free to AMA about any of this. Parenting is intense and things have a tendency to get blasted out my working memory before long.
Just because you got lucky doesn’t mean it works. Pre-cum can have sperm in it, and accidents can happen way too easily.
For anyone reading along, this is absolutely terrible advice.
Point taken, removed that bit 👍
