What to use instead of 'Onesie'

[SunnyDaysApparel]

Hey! 

I recently had a listing taken down because I used the word 'Onesie'. I now understand that it is trademarked. Has anyone else experienced this? And if so what did you change it to? That is what it is so it doesn't feel right to put other words in my titles and tags. 

Any advice would be appreciated

Baby bodysuit

One piece romper.

Before 1982 they were called rompers.

Yes, many other sellers have experienced this. Gerber does a sweep a few times a year and issues a number of takedowns for improper use. They have to, or else they can lose their TM status. 

I would use bodysuit. 

You should also do this ASAP since you still have a ton of 'onesies' in your shop and them taking down one was just a warning. You are now on their radar and they'll likely be back soon to see if you headed their warning and fixed the rest.

There are many other brands that have become synonymous with the product they are. It may feel weird calling it something else, but TM is going to override those feelings. 

A few other common brands that people use generically:

Velcro (hook and loop)

Kleenex (facial tissue)

Band Aid (adhesive bandage)

Frisbee (flying disc)

Q-tips (cotton swabs)

Jell-O (gelatin)

Scotch tape (adhesive tape)

In the UK we call/ed them baby grows. I wasn’t sure that was still the case, but if you search the internet for babygrow, shops here still call them that (sometimes one word sometimes two, sometimes without a ‘w’ apparently), or sometimes sleepsuit.  What you call them on your listings depends on where you sell them and what customers will be searching for.

Babygro is trademarked just like Onesie -- so you can't use that term with or without the "w" on the end

[MyOrganisedHome]

Babygrow is derived from Babygro.

Use sleepsuit or one-piece.

Interesting @Marmalady and @MyOrganisedHome I knew babygrow was a term used since the 80s at least, but I had no idea where it came from. This once again shows how some words in common use still need careful checking for TM. Although with the spelling of Babygro I'm not surprised it is a TM.
