While babies are a usually joy, their diapers are not.

Think about it: the sole purpose of diapers is to contain unpleasant substances. So the least diaper companies can do is attempt to give dedicated diaper changers a laugh.

When Reddit user JL889 went to clean their baby's reusable swim diaper by Beau and Belle Littles, the diaper's very specific cleaning instructions were too humorous not to post.

JL889 posted a thought-provoking photograph to Reddit, entitled "This caught my attention when reading the tag for my baby's swim diaper."

The lighthearted cleaning instructions begin by urging parents to ensure the diapers are tight around their baby's the legs to avoid "unwanted swimming companions," and end with some sassy advice on how to properly care for the fabric.

Beau and Belle Littles included the usual "For best results" directions, but took things a step further by letting parents know they could "Let several poops accumulate, bleach in boiling water with red and white dress shirts," and "blow dry on roof rack" to achieve the "worst results."

Reddit user JL889 also shared that the comical company makes wash cloths, but the cleaning instructions don't quite measure up to the diaper.

If you feel as though your life could use a little extra sass, the Beau and Belle Littles products can be ordered from Amazon.
