Selling more unnecessary stuff to mums?

I hate all that anti-bacterial stuff. Human beings are designed to be able to cope with most germs. It`s called an immune system

Might need these myself if my pelvic floor exercises don't bring some improvement blush

Evening all, just watched (yet again) that ad for "special" nappies for when babies start to wriggle and crawl.(ok, they are sort of nappy pants, I'm just imagining the mess if you try to pull them down after they have been pooed in!)

Goodness knows how we managed without all these things, let alone all the dettol anti bacterial/sterile type stuff!

Do the ads seem to try to make parents germ phobic? Surely once babies are crawling it is impossible to keep them in a "bacteria" free environment.

Seems that there is a potentially huge market there, and there must be some mums going for it.
