A diaper bag that doesn't scream "baby!"



I have long believed that the right bag can take a woman from feeling frumpy to feeling fabulous in a matter of minutes. Case in point: Not Rational’s Hansel diaper bag.

After the birth of my 8th child, I felt like I could write a book on being frazzled. In keeping with my motto, I’ve owned an embarrassingly large number of diaper bags. While most of them did the job well, even fashionably, it wasn’t true love until I tried the Hansel diaper bag from Not Rational.

The first thing that you’ll notice about this bag is the luxurious leather. It’s no wonder that it’s a favorite among celebrities such as Christy Turlington, Christina Aguilera, Heidi Klum, and Jessica Alba. Even Tim Gunn loves it! The leather on my Hansel is soft, smooshy, and downright yummy. Alright, I haven’t tasted it yet, but the divine smell makes it hard not to.


The Hansel measures12.5” high x 16” wide x 5.5” deep. It comes with adjustable shoulder straps and an adjustable, detachable 37” messenger strap. Also included are a changing pad, baby bottle, and pacifier. The inside features 2 slip pockets, but the 5 outside pockets are my favorite feature. The front main pocket has magnetic snaps, and is the perfect size for stashing your phone and a small wallet. The four remaining pockets (two on front, two on back) are perfect for storing hand sanitizer, a water bottle, fruit snacks, or any number of small essential items. You can load this bag up and still have pockets to spare! The main compartment of the Hansel zips closed.


As far as favorite features go, a close runner up to the pockets are the small straps on either end of the bag. These can be looped through your key ring or pacifier clip, for easy access. No more digging through your bag to find your keys! They can also be unsnapped to make the interior roomier. I have been told these straps can even be snapped around some stroller handles to attach your Hansel for hands free carrying.

The Hansel diaper bag is such an amazing, beautiful bag that you won’t want to part with it when your baby is out of diapers. I love them so much I bought 3! I use one for daily outings, another for overnight trips, and keep another packed up with spare supplies in the car. This is one baby bag that will be with you long past the baby stage!
