Actually today's diapers don't feel wet .... The next time you change a diaper run your hand over it .... It doesn't feel wet because of the way the diapers are made .... So the child does not feel wet and therefore not uncomfortable .... I think play felt is right on both accounts we are transfering our feelings and parents want to cut corners in the diaper area.... That being said all my families bring me big cases of diapers and wipes and I let them know when the supply is getting low.
