So, have you ever seen a man walking around the mall with a totally girlie diaper bag? Chances are that it could have been me that you saw. Even diaper bags that are supposed to be completely gender neutral still have a very feminine connotation to them. Especially when a dude is walking around with it.
So, here’s the problem. How do you take your kids out in public (equipped with all the necessary items that come along with taking a young kid out, i.e. diapers, wipes, cream, etc.) and still look like a man’s man. Well, after a while of searching, I think that I have found the answer. It is as close to a man’s diaper bag as I could come up with, which from here on out will be called a “man bag”.
Here’s a shot of my recent trip to the park with Noah, with my man bag.
So, that’s about as manly as you can make it. The bag slings over your shoulder. To you men out there carrying diaper bags… any ideas? Maybe we should get together and patent a diaper bag that any man would feel confident carrying! What do you think? Just a thought!

WELL, I FOUND YOUR BLOG WHILE RESEARCHING HANDMADE BAGS AND DIAPER BAGS-GO FIGURE-lol. ANYWAY, I MAKE DENIM AND CAMO PURSES AND BAGS AND TAKE THEM TO CRAFT SHOWS. RECENTLY I DID MAKE A “MAN BAG”. AN ACQUAINTANCE RECENTLY HAD A BABY. SHE HAD BOUGHT A FEW OF MY PURSES AT CHRISTMAS AND ALSO HAD CAMOS SINCE HER HUSBAND HAD BEEN IN THE MILITARY. I MADE A DIAPER BAG OUT OF THEM. SHE (AND HUBBY) LOVED IT! IF YOU WOULD LIKE INFO OR PICS ETC… LET ME KNOW. BRENDA
