Tiddy Bear
August 23, 2008 on 8:09 pm | In Just Funny | I’m not even kidding — I totally want one of these. I hate the way my seatbelt is always digging into my shoulder. At first I thought it was a joke but it’s not.
There are two problems.
1) They cost an insane $14.95 each and,
2) I am SO MAD I didn’t think of this first.

I think instead of naming it the Tiddy Bear, they could have just came out and said what it was for and why it was created - then come up with a better name. They talk about menstruation on television - I don’t see how talking frankly about the irritation seat belts can cause between a woman’s breasts is any different.
I say this knowing full well that I’m going to point this product out to my wife, and she will probably want to purchase one or two of them.
Still, it says a lot about our society that we cannot talk more openly about the human body.
Namaste.

You don’t even need a bust to wear one. I always felt a seat belt was designed to cut my clavicle in two.
Years and years ago, I got something like this — a fold-over made of a double layer of penguin-print fleece and secured with velcro — from a member of the church where I had a student pastorate. Made herself, this lovely person had a standing rule — if I recall correctly — that she only gave one kind of Christmas gift per year, and I was honored to be remembered in her gift list.

They make a similar thing for little kids in booster car seats, I think.
Can they make it so that the car seat doesn’t make your shirt look sweaty and gross this time of year–that would be really helpful.

Is that really that bad? I mean, you only need one.

who would want hers non-bear-shaped. But she’s no fun that way.

I have something like this in fleece, that velcros over the seat belt. I only need it in summer, when my clavicle is exposed and gets irritated by the belt. Not as cute as the Tiddy Bear, but totally functional.
In the web-demo, every time they say “Tiddy Bear,” it sounds like the d’s are t’s. I think I would have chosen a different name.
