Show off your house ducks!

That reminds me Ku, did you ever figure out how to mini-fy your duckling/gosling diapers for a call duck?

Ha! I just emailed you about that! They are SO freaking cute. I will take a picture of your diapers next to ChaCha's. I think teaching myself to make everything in mini has given me all kinds of ideas!

on the subject of diapers and I am ignorant about these ones that you make, but is the deal that goes on the duck's body re-usable and the part that covers the duck's opening a reservoir big enuf to contain a disposable collecting thingy that you remove periodically when it fills up and then replace with a fresh one? Or do you take the entire apparatus like the nice pink one you've got and toss it after one fill up?

They are reusable. You either put a liner in the poop cup or wash them depending on the specifics of how each 1 is made.

There are a couple different styles out there. I'm biased in favor of my own design =P But I can give you a little information all around =)

As far as I know, there aren't any disposable ducky diapers - where the ENTIRE diaper is discarded. However there are two different ways of lining a diaper. Some styles require that you use a human baby diaper to catch the poo. These "diapers" are technically diaper harnesses rather than an actual diaper - because they are a harness that holds a (piece of a) human baby diaper. Then you just discard the human diaper insert and replace it with a clean piece. These diapers are generally made with regular porous fabrics and if a waterproof diaper insert is not used the properly they will leak. This is used for both baby duck diapers and adult duck diapers.
The second type (the kind that I make) are diapers rather than a harness to hold a secondary diaper. These are lined with a waterproof layer and generally still use some sort of minor insert; I use toilet paper or paper towel.
In both cases, only the liner is thrown away, and the rest of the bosy of the diaper is only washed when needed.
I have a little youotube video showing how to fold and insert the disposable cup. It might make a little more sense =)

ok so I'm sick, and a lot drugged, please excuse me =P

you said DUCKLING...I'm a little too excited about Wobs new diapers and assumed you were talking about that lol
Well as for call ducklings, I don't have an itty bitty day old diaper, but the other sizes I already carry would fit a call ducky just fine, you just wouldn't need the super big sizes. I would need a day old call duckling's measurement to make a day old diaper =)
That's totally a request if any of you are hatching call ducks =D

Alright I'm feeling a little spammy, but I think this thread needs a little COLOR =D

Been making lots of tutus lately. I love all the poofy colorful awesomeness =D

Ok, good to know. Thank you SilkieSensation. Some of them look too nice to throw out after one use.

Interesting. Not knowing anything about any of this I was worried that the entire unit was thrown out. Now it makes sense that you insert the poo catcher part in the cup of the harness unit. I am gonna check out the video. Thanks kukupecpec for taking the time to explain this to me.
