The Rules:
1. There are humans behind these drawings and comments. Be constructive and kind. Following the loudest, rudest comments has never been a positive predictor that the plushie will resonate with the audience as a whole. And we mean never. We appreciate your passion, please appreciate that we are people too.
2. Upvotes are not considered as to whether or not a design element is included because many of them come in weeks after the plush is out of crowd design and we currently have no way of preventing this. Upvotes do not indicate feasibility, timelines, etc. They are helpful and we do look at them, but they cannot be the final word for this reason.
3. For the same reason enough people commenting the same thing does not automatically make it possible or feasible. Remember that while there might be multiple people saying something, behind the scenes there may be 1000s of people signed up for something to remain as it is, and we have to balance these two things. If it's a good idea that doesn't reverse what people already love, we will do it if we can. We have no reason other than feasibility not to.
4. Please do not post images or drawings, we cannot use them and they are often gigantic and take up the entire comment page.
We appreciate all your comments and strive to create a positive constructive environment for feedback for everyone, commentors and designers alike.

Please change the pants! And do a symbol for stomach pain instead! Being revolved around just "poop" is really hurtful!
Hello! I have ibs and i think the design is super cute but i would love something that could symbolize the pain in the belly ! Becouse do we have alot of problems handling that from the flare ups !
The little toilet paper is so cuteee ahh! So exited to cuddle it already!
Maybe the face could look unsettled and his paws could be magnetic to the tummy, the colour could be a mint green as the bunny feels sick and unwell, the companion buddy for the rabbit could be a hot water bottle, as it’s there to support the rabbit. For the clothes maybe the rabbit could wear some pyjamas.
The IBS bunny is certainly something I would buy, I suffer from it everyday, not knowing what will set it off that day, will something I always eat suddenly become a food that causes an intolerance, making a fast dash for the toilet when the food I was enjoying suddenly wants out. I need a little companion that I cuddle I know that he’s there to support me through all the discomfort.
I love the pants and toilet paper buddy!
The biggest symptom that is missing is nausea, which other people have mentioned. Maybe a hand to the face, with a disgusted facial expression and slight green details on the face to express discomfort from nausea. I also don’t 100% understand the brown pants concept and I’ve had IBS for half of my life. Maybe hands attached to the stomach in pain and discomfort instead?
I can see the idea of adding a greenish tinge to the face being very representative of the nausea that can come with IBS. I have had to watch my husband deal with this.
The toilet paper buddy is perfect. It is something you do not want to run out of when your IBS acts up.
As far as the pants, I like the difference in seeing a rabbit in pants. As far as the color, I just want them to stand out vs the color of the rabbit. If the happen to be brown, so be it. If they are black or another color, ok.
Overall, I believe the design is wonderful. I showed to my husband, and he agreed, it's a good solid design.
Brown trousers makes me thinks of accidents. I get what you were trying to do but personally find offensive, better option is the GI symbol on torso that others have mention. I also agree isb comes with sickness so a colour change to green 💚 might be a better choice than blue. I do like toilet roll buddy. Its the one thing I make sure I have plenty of
I do agree with other comments green would better represent the nausea, that we go through. But I love the symbol and the cute toilet paper roll, I think the pain faces are adorable on the ears but a darker color like red could help them stick out more. I think an embroidered gi track like mentioned in other comments would help detail the bunny better. I am a person whom, loves skirts and dress, although, IBS can limit your life it doesn’t have to limit your wardrobe. I understand something occurring while wearing something they wouldn’t want ruined or make it embarrassing, but that’s not always how it has to be dispite being hard due to tight causing more pain than others. But heating packs, but we still can express ourselves in a beautiful passionate way no matter what style or symptoms
