How it All Began
In 2017, I was at my friend Gillie’s baby shower. She made an announcement asking us to write a message on a diaper to the baby-to-come. So I wrote with a blue sharpie on a diaper “Don’t Be A Little Shit!” I then found Gillie in the crowd and held the diaper up to her. She broke out in laughter and showed the diaper to her other guests. Some shock, some hysterics … but suddenly the plain old good luck messages were replaced by ones much more real to the parents. It was a bonding moment around the joys of parenthood, and a bit of silliness in the face of it.
Because the response to the phrase was so well-received by the mom-to-be and her friends and family, I thought it’d be fun at some point to start a business with other puns and cheeky phrases on diapers. Who couldn’t use a good laugh? And who doesn’t love babies?
Fast forward to 2021, I shared my business idea with my cousin Ed. He connected me to his high school friend, Reese, who had started an online t-shirt company called Surly Shirts. After speaking to Reese, the diaper idea transformed into a onesie concept (lasts longer, more visible, etc.). So that’s how Potty Mouth Tots came to be. Hope you (and the badass babies) enjoy my onesies! Thank you for visiting and shopping!
