A mom from Argentina was left perplexed after she kept wondering why they were running low on diapers. Luckily, she didn't need to look too far to find out the culprit.
On a quest to find out the reason behind the dwindling supply, Micaela Sandoval walked into her daughter's room to see if she could find out more.
In a video posted by Sandoval (@micaelasandoval7) to TikTok earlier this week, she discovers her daughter, Alanha peacefully asleep surrounded by her stuffed animals. From a gorilla and giraffe to Minnie Mouse and Stitch, every toy in the room was sporting its own Pampers diaper.

"I knew she liked putting diapers on her stuffed animals, but I hadn't realized that all of them were wearing diapers," Sandoval told Newsweek in Spanish.
The mom said that while she found the situation amusing, it also filled her with a sense of tenderness, "I found it very funny and at the same time, very endearing. That's why I decided to make the video."
At the end of the clip, Sandoval joked, "Qué presupuesto en pañales?" which translates to "What a diaper budget."
The cost of diapers can add up quickly. Sandoval appears to use Pampers, which is one of the most popular and premium diaper brands in the United States, as they cost more compared to store-branded options.
Pampers typically range from $0.25 to $0.35 per diaper, depending on the size and specific line. Cheaper, generic brands might cost $0.15 to $0.20.

TikTok Users React
Sandoval's clip has since clocked up over 10 million views as well as thousands of comments from other TikTok users.
Many caught on to the costly unexpected usage and sympathized with Sandoval.
One TikTok user wrote in Spanish: "Y son pampers ay no," meaning, "And they are Pampers oh no." Another user joked, "Don't even think about taking them off, imagine if they pee."
One shared a similar story of making their dad buy a pack of Pampers for their Baby Alive doll. "I had to change his diaper after he ate," the user commented.
At the time of recording her video, Sandoval didn't want to wake Alanha to ask her about her diaper-decorated clan but never anticipated the overwhelming response she received from her video.
"The video got so much attention on TikTok, which I didn't expect since I shared it because I thought it was funny," she told Newsweek.
