Week 5 part 1

Diapers, not a subject that I am wanting to think about anytime soon for myself, yet I find it interesting the choices that are available these days.  My mom and dad gave as a gift to my brother and his girlfriend a diaper service.  The service dropped off the nice clean smelling diapers and would pick up the dirty ones each week.  It was nice for a week or two but they ended up being more costly and more of a pain in the butt than they were worth.  I have told my mom I did not want that service when one day I become a mom.  Having made the realization that I will need to be disposal diaper kind of mom, these two websites for diapers made me curious.

The look and feel of both websites cater to the market they are targeting.  Interestingly, Econobum is a company that targets families wanting to be environmentally friendly and who do not mind cleaning the dirty diapers.  Obviously they are charity minded in that they donate diapers to missionaries and to families in Africa.  The family picture is right there on the about us page so as a consumer we can put a face to the name.  I suppose if I were purchasing something that will be so intimately part of my baby's wardrobe, I like believing the family really put their heart into it.   The action buttons are not easily missed.

The Just Cheap Diapers website looks like it is catered to the family, like my brother's, that need cheap diapers for their little pooping machine.  The owner Joyce Bangga does not have her picture and quite frankly, she does not need to.  No one is going to care who the middle man is in getting a good deal on cheap diapers.  The colors are bold and bright and nothing about it screams environmentally friendly.  There are however no bold action buttons so the old click on the picture will not tell the price.  The consumer would have to go to the contact us button to learn more. Not a user friendly website.

I think when the time comes, I will go to a Walmart website and/or amazon and buy the name brands we are used to.
