Today, I randomly remembered that in all of the Chinese shows or comic books I have read, the baby's butts are showing. I googled "Chinese Baby butts", and I looked thoroughly until I found out the real name of those are called "Split Pants". Many of the stories I read told the positives about it and of how it saves the environment and helps the baby, etc. Then I read your hilarious story! I loved it! It really makes me want to go visit China (out of pure curiousity) Although the split pants can be used for 'saving' purposes, I definitely agree that it is... unsanitary for the people!

Fastest way for a single purchase is to find a Chinese friend who has taobao/alipay and ask them to shop & pay for you. If only pay, it is similar: when you get to the payment section of taobao, choose, "代附" or something like that to have someone pay for you, then type in their Alipay email address. The next easiest way is set up your own Alipay account. Go to the post office and buy a scratch card with credit on it (similar with cell phone recharge cards), then type in the voucher number to your Alipay account. And the last way (that I know of) to do it is as you mentioned with a Chinese bank card.
