18 years ago my dad changed my diaper the first day home from the hospital... and that's when it all began for the PooPee Mask

My dad:  “is there anything we could wear that minimizes the smell and entertains Bri while I change her diaper?”

My mom:  “like a… PooPee Mask?”

My dad:  "exactly!"

…and that’s when it all began.

Below is a picture of Brianna’s little brother on August 8, 1998

“Who would have thought 18 years later I would bring back the PooPee Mask to sell and work my way through college!”

JUST WHAT IS… the PooPee Mask?

The PooPee Mask is a mask for people who change baby diapers.  Each PooPee Mask contains either pink or blue colors on the mask.

The PooPee Mask is a soft mask made out of 100% Polypropylene non-woven fabric that is made to be placed over the mouth and nose.

The PooPee Mask has dots, small teddy bears and letters located everywhere on the front of the mask. They are colorful to attract and keep the baby occupied while changing diapers.

Once The PooPee Mask is placed over the nose and mouth one can smell the sweet scent of strawberry while changing the diaper.

Baby is happy and occupied while the diaper changer is happy and now coherent!

The PooPee Mask package was creatively designed to sit nicely where all can see and angled specifically for easy standing for baby showers, tables, shelves and for easy balloon attachment.

It’s truly a terrific and fun showstopper!

Made for everyone in a new baby’s house!

  • Moms - Dads
  • Grandmas - Grandpas
  • Sisters – Brothers
  • Aunts – Uncles
  • Doctors - Nurses
  • Childcare Workers - Babysitters

  *** Christmas is around the corner ***

& if just one PooPee Mask isn’t enough, try the best Showstopper at any party…

Was there a science to the design?

The only thing my dad was thinking was fun, useful, entertaining for the child and it HAD to smell nice.

Science, no… Practical, yes!

But first, it’s important to understand some baby facts:

  • All babies poop ---- Sorry, it’s true… not one doesn’t!
  • All babies pee ---- Ditto to the above fact… Sorry again!

Can people stimulate a baby’s Eye Development?

It is critical that in the first year, a baby’s brain and eyes begin to coordinate images and remember what they’ve seen. As a parent, they participate in the newborn’s eye development and health as a normal part of your time with your baby. Proper stimulation can increase curiosity, attention span, memory, and nervous system development.

So be sure to give your baby plenty of interesting things to see… LIKE The PooPee Mask!

The First Three Months of Eye Development

Newborns can only focus about 8 - 12 inches from their face, and they see only black, white and gray. Over the next 10 - 12 weeks, babies will follow moving objects and recognizing things, bold, geometric patterns.

When Do Babies Begin To See Clearly?

Depth perception and eye-hand coordination begin to develop when infants reach four months. From four to six months, babies will begin to reach out and touch an object – something that previously only happened by chance.

Is the PooPee Mask a proven method to stimulate a baby’s eye and muscle development?

We have absolutely NO scientific proof, however, we have a whole lot of happy diaper changers who don’t cringe, but smile every time they have to do the task and enjoy the newness of life.

So, what we do know?

We know it’s a fun thing to wear when changing diapers and seeing that little tyke smiling, pointing at the dots and what’s really nice -- you’re smelling strawberries!

Does it work? YES

Is it one of the best newborn gifts for a parent, sister, brother or grandparent?

…An emphatic YES!

Where will the money go?

Brianna will use funds to get the business going and pay for her second year of college.  If she does meet and exceed her funds she’ll continue to use for the balance of her schooling. 

Brianna is on route to graduate with a Psychology degree with a goal of becoming a teacher and working with kids.

She has worked since she was 16 in retail and will continue to remain at her position.  Providing this works well, she may continue this business through her entire college life!  Her dad would really like that!

Could we ship thousands?

YES, in fact my dad said if I sold millions, he’d find a way to ship, deliver best of quality and make those million diaper changers out there very happy!

Production & Shipping

If our goal is met, we’ll make sure everything goes according to plan to ship quickly. As soon as funding is complete, PooPee Masks & PooPee Diaper Cakes will begin shipping within 10 business days.

Expected shipping dates begin approximately 10 days after funding time has ended.  We want to make sure you have your PooPee Masks and PooPee Diaper Cakes as soon as possible.

Scalability

Moving from an in-house operation to a full-scale business servicing retailers and end users requires careful planning and controlled growth. On time delivery, customer service and accurate fulfillment will be some of the most significant activities to maintain.

FAQ’s

  • What colors are on the PooPee Mask?

Blue & Pink

We picked neutral colors so that both work well and do the same job, which is to laugh, smell strawberry & occupy that little beauty.

The smell of strawberry is filled within each PooPee Mask

The PooPee Mask is made 100% Polypropylene non-woven fabric.

I will make sure that your PooPee Mask is free of defects before mailing. 
However, if it does happen to be defective, just mail it back and I will send you a new one.

My dad was told by a production assistant, with the show at that time that Mr. Philbin himself tried the PooPee Mask on prior to a show airing in 1998.  It almost made the cut but was never on air.

My dad was told that Mr. Reiser tried the PooPee Mask on and that is all.  It did not make it into an actual show.

  • How many PooPee Masks come in each package?

There are two (2) PooPee Masks per package.

  • How long does the PooPee Mask last?

Each PooPee Mask lasts approximately one week.  It may last longer if you place in a resealable container or storage bag after each use.

A BIG - "THANK YOU" -  for your time in viewing this project!
