Proctor & Gamble recently released a new line of diapers that's supposedly 20% thinner and absorbs 2x more than other brands.

Unfortunately, there's a bunch of complaints going around that this new product causes severe rashes.

Pampers Dry Max causing rashes and burns, parents allege

Any of you ever experience this problem? (No, I'm not asking if you've worn these. I'm asking if you've tried these on your infants and they got rashes from this product.

I bought the cheap diapers. Pampers and expensive diapers load the diapers up with powery scents and other chemicals. I bought my kids the Cheap Wal Mart brand diapers. It worked just as good and cause less rashes on my kids.

My eldest got the worst diaper rashes! If you baby or toddler has diaper rash, consult a pediatric dermatologist. Mine told me that she preferred disposable diapers because they keep the baby's bottom drier. I had to eliminate all products with fragrances, like wipes, and use lots of diaper rash paste (Butt Paste is one good one). Plain Pampers were fine. Could there be an ingredient in the new Pampers that irritates some babies' skin? Some babies' skin are more sensitive than others. Really depends on the kid.

Whatever happened to using cloth diapers?

I hate diaper commercials and they're a complete waste of resources that end up getting tossed in landfills or in worst-case scenarios, they get left in aisles and trash cans in public places. Ughh. I suppose they're more convenient to those too lazy to actually invest in their kids.

When my daughter was a baby, I used cloth diapers at home, and disposable diapers for away from home. I had a diaper service (home delivered) for the cloth diapers. The cloth diapers also made good "urp" pads to throw over my shoulder.

She never had any rash problems.

Another ecology note:

Diaper services sell the old diapers for rags; they make excellent house and car cleaning rags, and you can buy a big bag for a cheap price.

I really hate finding a used disposable diaper under my car in a public parking lot. Ugh!

Reba

The other problem with super absorbency is that it hides the fact that the diaper should be changed more frequently. Just because they invent a diaper that will hold urine all day doesn't mean a baby should wear it all day.

Also, toddlers get too comfortable with a dry-feeling pull-up, so they aren't motivated to use the toilet. If toddlers feel wet, stinky, or uncomfortable when they have an "accident", they'll be more motivated to use the toilet.

My family and I always used those old torn flannel blankets for the cloth diapers. We doubled up on those as they made very good absorbent diapers.

A brand new flannel blanket costs anywhere from $20-30 dollars and saves you money compared to a box of diapers that costs you the same amount of dollars.

I'd prefer using cloth diapers.

Did you know that you can rewash the diaper wipes?

The ones that have doo-doo on them goes out in the trash but you can rewash the ones that has pee-pee on them. It saves a lot of money this way.

In a large bucket, add 10 parts of water and 1 part of soft hand lotion, immerse the rewashed baby wipes. You're good to go with the baby wipes.

Reba

I forgot to mention one more option.

Let the kid air out once in a while. The baby can lie on the floor (on a blanket with an absorbent pad underneath), naked. Even better if you can do that outdoors (not in direct sun). Just keep an eye on the baby, of course.

Mrs Bucket

Yes, as toddlers we walked around naked and this made potty-training much easier to prompt the children to use the bathroom.

"Oh oh, your legs are wet. Is it time to pee? Where do we go?"

I agree with the comment about laying outside naked and out of the direct sun rays; this made for cute and innocent tushy pictures!

This was good for healing diaper rashes too as well.

Beowulf

My diapers were cloth. I don't think we got diaper rashes but I will find out, lol.

sallylou

My pediatric dermatologist preferred Pampers. She said that they keep the baby drier, especially with a liner. I did what the specialist recommended.

Besides, Brad, who are you to judge? Just wondering.... How many diapers have you changed? If you're like my husband, a lot!

rockdrummer

Perhaps you should switch to Depends vampy...

I prefer disposal diapers therefore, i do not need to spend many hours of my time at the laundry.

yeah. I admire anyone who supports cloth diapers. Unfortunately, i dislike washing cloth with poops on them in the laundry that can ruins others.

sallylou

I don't know what the truth is. When I was deciding, some people claimed that all of the detergent, bleach and water used to wash diapers was just as bad for the environment as disposables. Bleach is a big environmental no no. Seems like we can't live in modern society without any environmental faux pas.

Reba

That's why I used a diaper service. Their industrial strength hi-temp washing and drying machines did a better cleaning job. Every week I set outside the plastic bag of dirty diapers (I did flush and rinse each one before putting in the bag), and when I got home from work there was a fresh clean bagful waiting for me.

Jiro

Great Scott! that's just.... unspeakable!

It sounds nice. wonder if the diaper service is still in business?

Jiro

my mom said she used cloth diapers on me most of time. she used disposable diapers only during my "pooping" hour. I guess it's just matter of trials and errors to figure out my pooping routine.

Here's some more TMI: breast fed babies have the "yellow peril." Breast milk digests quickly and runs right through them.
