That rash is horrible! I had some Luvs diapers laying around I got as a baby shower gift, I tried them on my son because we were going to my parents and I was thinking about using disposables…after wearing them for about a day he got a rash so bad on his boy parts it looked like he had been burned. He was crying it hurt so bad. I used butt paste with cloth diapers with no cover and a cloth wipe to protect the diaper to clear it up. I have also had issues with disposable wipes causing rash and making him cry when I wipe, so has your friend switched wipes also (or use water and toilet paper!)

I love cloth, but I have to admit that my son got a rash just like that from trying a different detergent on our dipes. It was horrible, and I really feel for the baby in that picture. Poor thing. I wonder what kind of product testing Pampers did pre-launch.

Kristin,

I have not switched wipes yet, but thats mainly because I don’t know how to set up to use cloth wipes. I went to buy a mega pack of baby wash cloths, but the store was out!
I’m going to have to do some research on the proper set up and what kind of mix to make.

OMG!!!!! I feel so bad or that baby. We have never used Pampers as I just never liked their fit or price for that matter. Here’s another good reason not to. And of course They have No responsibility because ‘we know our babies best’ What a bunch of BS……I feel for those moms, if you don’t want to use clothe, switch to Huggies Supreme or Parents Choice/Target brands.

Thanks for posting this. I have been following your blog since you started and love it!

This is so sad. I changed due to a sensitivity to my son’s bottom and we’re all clear and have been for a very long time, now. I am 100% cloth diapering.

I am hosting a month long cloth diapering event which will include informational posts, reviews, guest posts and some pretty awesome giveaways. If you would like to contribute and be a guest blogger, just let me know! I would love to hear what you have to add. I’m doing a Q&A for everyone that’s “guest blogging” so it’s pretty simple. Just answer the questions. In exchange I will link to your blog and post your button on my sidebar.

Hope to talk to you soon!

Those poor babies
.-= Sarah´s last blog ..Oh my goodness! =-.

Poor baby! My son has super sensitive skin, and he reacts quickly to any change – detergent, prolonged exposure to moisture, etc. We’ve been very happy w/ cloth diapers. Parents definitely don’t need to use ultra dry disposables to keep their babies dry and comfortable!

I will NEVER buy Pampers again after reading this. I cloth diaper full-time my 13 month-old, but was planning to start with disposables(pampers swaddlers) for a few weeks when we have another baby. But not now! Thanks for bringing light to this sad situation!

Poor thing!
.-= amber´s last blog ..National Geographic Little Kids Review and Giveaway =-.

I’ve been using the swaddlers with Dry Max and have had no trouble. My daughter is 6mos and has sensitive skin, I’ve tried all different brands and swaddlers were the only kind that didn’t leak. I change her quite frequently and she has never had diaper rash…I do use burts bees cream every couple of changes because diaper rash is from being wet. So I keep her as dry and protected as possible.

FYI: My daughter is also on lactulose as a last resort and I had sooo many people tell me it would cause severe diaper rash too…it didn’t! I think it has to do with changing frequently and keeping your babies clean and dry. But will admit, some diapers are strong fragranced and cause sensitivities to babies skin!

Awe! Poor baby bum!!! My daughter had bad rashes from the old version pampers for 2 months. We had gone thru various prescriptions from the Dr, tried airing out and other brands. Switched to cloth and it was gone in 3 days. Couldn’t imagine what these new ones could do to my girl!

Our first diapers were gdiapers and have since broadened our horizons! We plan on more babies and have decided to cloth as soon as we arrive home. Hubby is pro-cloth too!!

Thanks Kim!

Kate had a rash like that from when i washed our cloth diapers with an enviro-friendly detergent that contained enzymes. I thought I was doing something good for her and the planet by choosing a green detergent and instead I put her in diapers that cause her skin to peel off and her bum to bleed
Seriously, the rash looked just like that, and i took pics too. It looked like burns, shiny, bloody and peeling. Poor babies having to have such sore bums. I won’t be using Dry max Pampers! But then, i had no plans to before this, but will advise the other parents I know.

Poor baby. I’d have the baby checked by a dr who will culture the rash because it actually could be bacterial. (The diapers irritate the area, then the skin gets angry, then the skin is more susceptible to bacterial infection, bacteria invades…. bad cycle!)

As for our perspective…Just to be safe, we’re switching our babe out of pampers entirely. We use cloth diapers during the day and only use pampers at night, but just recently she started getting a rash – and it is not on the regular diaper area, it is on the upper hip area. I did not know that pampers switched their formula! Yuck-o!

Danielle,

This entire issue has absolutely nothing to do with not changing our children often enough. My daughter has had diaper rash one other time in her entire 16mo, and it was a reaction cows milk. I would think that says something about y ability to change my daughters diaper when it needs to be changed.

I’m sorry if I sound short, but I’m offended that your reply sounds like you’re placing blame on the parent when it’s pretty obvious that’s not the case. Rashes aren’t only caused by improper changing.

I’m thankful your child didn’t get this considering they have sensiive skin. My daughter also has sensitive skin, so this means not all babies are alike. What works for yours, doesn’t work for mine.

I’m…shocked! This is a company who is supposed to be helping parents take care of their children. Our babies and toddlers!

We started with Pampers when our daughter was born. We weren’t happy with them cause they leaked frequently because they didn’t fit her well but Pampers newborn, with the little dip for the umbilical cord, fit around her umbilical cord the best. As soon as it feel off we switched to Huggies. Been pretty happy with them since then.

This though confirms even more though that my husband and I are making the right choice by choosing to cloth diaper our new baby [I'm 36 weeks today!]. I feel so bad for all those little babies out there that got this horrible chemical burn/rash. Pampers better do something!!!
.-= This Military Mama´s last blog ..Review and Giveaway: Mirra, a New Line of Beauty Products =-.

I also wanted to add that this rash and the others like it suffered by the other babies is not due to being left in wet diapers. If this were the case, every baby sleeping through the night would have the same rash.

The whole point is to make parents aware that Pampers has changed their formula and the new diapers are most likely causing some children to experience a burn like rash.

Just be careful when buying the old boxes of Cruisers, they may contain the new diapers.

my 8 month old just recovered from the same rash! only his came when we switched from “huggies natural” to “huggies cruisers”. within days of switching back, he healed completely.

I use cloth and only use disposables once every few months. Thankfully I haven’t had a problem, but I did have a problem with laundry detergents on my cloth diapers. I use two “green” cloth detergents that made her bum so bad, I thought I might have to quit. Since switching to plain old Tide Free powder, we haven’t had to use diaper creams and have had no rashes! Tide isn’t “green” like I was thinking, but it’s not worth it to put my baby through that! I love it Tide Free now.
How horrible is it for Pampers to try and cover up these issues. It’s just wrong.

That picture is definitely not a case of baby not being changed enough–it is not a normal diaper rash! If you read all of the text, it was diagnosed as contact dermatitis, which is inflammation caused by DIRECT CONTACT WITH AN IRRITATING SUBSTANCE!

My little boy has had a VERY similar rash and we haven’t touched disposables at all in about a year (he just turned 2 and we switched to cloth at least 90% of the time when he was 2.5 months). The ONLY thing that helps is Northern Essence Better “Butt”er Cream and Diaper Rash Salve. His was caused by tomatoes and his apparent allergy but it took a long time to figure that out. I took him to the ER one day and SEVERAL times to the pediatrician. They said those kinds of rashes are very common in any disposable diapers (but they didn’t say anything about cloth). It’s very scary to go through and if you can prevent it you should!

I just read in the comments about not changing wipes yet. One very easy way is to. Use a roll of paper towels (I use the cheapest from Sam’s Club and they work the best) tear off about 10-20 sheets, cut them in half, fold them and place in a wipes container (that has been cleaned out), Measure out 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water, pour in a bowl, add about 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of baby bath, and mix.
Pour over the paper towels and let sit. I do flip it over after about 20 minutes to let all the papertowels soak up some the water.

You can also use plain water. I feel so aweful for that baby and the baby’s mom. I cloth diaper when I can, but Huggies are our pick because even the old pampers were exploding (read: causing all that yucky gel stuff to go everywhere) at night. The diaper itself was not even really wet, so one pee and there would be a huge mess in the morning.

Before anyone says anything, no my child did not pick at nor play with the diaper, he wore footed PJs and all inside the PJs would be full of gel crud.

Poor poor baby !!!
I had that problem with my son who was in Pampers, it happened when we switched to Pampers “Cruisers” from the Swaddlers. His poor skin was hot, red and bleeding. We tried EVERY cream and prescription, I put him in Huggies and it went away almost immediately. I wish though, that back then I hadn’t been so intimidated by cloth diapers. I use them now with my youngest and she’s NEVER had a rash

Not sure if anyone suggested this in any of the posts, but I have a suggestion for those discussing wipes. Homemade wipes are FANTASTIC! There’s some variations to the recipe on the web (you can google it). But using a roll of paper towel (bounty is best) cut in half & a solution of 2c. boiled Water, 2tbsp baby oil & 2 tbsp baby soap all put together in a folgers coffee container works GREAT! (I have also used olive oil in place of the baby oil).

My daughter has used Pampers almost exclusively and is now out of diapers, before the new DryMax came out. But we never had any trouble with her diapers or wipes. She occasionally had a rash, and one really bad one while in daycare, but is no longer in daycare and is doing great. I’ve got baby # 2 on the way and plan to stay loyal to Pampers. I love them. I haven’t tried the new DryMax yet, and probably won’t. I feel horribly bad for these babies who developed the rash and hope Pampers will take that line off the market if it is causing so many problems like this.

I want to say that these parents probably aren’t changing their children enough, because that it what I see going on with every last mother I know… but… on the otherhand, why be surprised that one of the big companies making products for children has yet again provided a product that hurts them instead.

To add, full time cloth diaperer here… we change almost 20 a day… no rash on my dearhearts ever.

Thanks, Kim, for this really good post. I just shared it on my FB page

.-= Sarah´s last blog ..Happy Easter (a week late!!) =-.

I have the same rash on my son! My SIL has the same rash on her daughter! I never thought the diapers caused them! I rarely use sposies, but have had a lot of babysitting done lately, and my SIL and Brother won’t change cloth, so I use Pampers. I am outraged! Here I was loading on cream and using sposies even more to try and help his poor bum, and the sposies were causing it!!
.-= Chelsea´s last blog ..A giveaway so awesome I did a double take! =-.

My children have very very sensitive skin. When we used disposables, we were stuck with one brand as any other gave them a rash (not as bad as the above but pretty bad regardless). And it didn’t matter if we changed them the moment they peed or pooped, they’d break out in a rash within 20 minutes of the diaper going on.

I had to say this after reading a comment above. I do know rashes can and do occur due to baby sitting in a dirty dipe for too long. But sometimes our children are “blessed” with highly sensitive skin and no matter what parents do, this happens with some brands (even with cloth diapers, no matter what they are washed in!).

I have 2 Children and 4 grandchildren, and as with all dipers out there I used them all. Diper rash is part of being a baby, no matter how hard we as parents try to pervent it from happening. I also feel for the baby in the photo. You all my think this old woman is crazy, but if your baby is teething or has an upset belly that makes them poop often, try using CARONA,, this is a horse medicene , it is sorta yellow in color. it comes in a yellow plastic jar with a red lid on it. you can buy it at you local CO-OP or at Wal-Mart in the pet department. just a dab will do you. rub it on the baby’s bottom at diper change and you will be surprized at how well it will heal a diper rash up and it can pervent it also. i learned from my first child, diper rash is no fun, on my other child we were set to go and all 4 of the grand kids, never seen and had to deal with having a raw bottom.

We just had a long weekend away where we used sposies. I had the option of buying a package of store brand for $6 or the Seventh Generation chlorine-free for $11. I debated that one long and hard. On one hand, I use cloth all the time and this was just a one time deal, on the other, this was just a one time deal I could AFFORD the more expensive diapers. I got the natural ones. Now I cringe. I am so glad I was able to make that choice. I know many can’t afford that option for everyday use. I hate that these companies are so huge, faceless, and powerful. They can’t admit any mistakes. A recall could cost them millions from suing parents. I’ll stick to my cloth diaper stores where I get personal emails from the owners and cloth diaper companies where I can write letters to the designers of the products with my questions. It’s just a better system.
.-= Andrea´s last blog ..Blueberry Smoothie Mornings =-.

I’m sick of people browbeating parents who choose to use disposables. It is similar to the parents who are chastised because they have to supplement breast milk with formula or use formula exclusively. As was stated in the actual article, it was diagnosed as contact dermatitis.

Contact dermatitis can be a reaction between the skin and a plethora of things. It can do with fragrances, certain chemicals, even certain naturally occurring substances, it is a type of allergic reaction in a way.

So the fact that this one child had a severe case contact dermatitis with a single brand of Pampers does not mean that a “giant faceless corporation” is making products that “do harm to children.” That is like accusing a perfume of maker of trying to kill me because their particular fragrance triggers my asthma.

Furthermore, a facebook group with 728 members does not an epidemic make. Especially when there is no way to confirm that these ‘members’ are actually experiencing what they claim to be experiencing and that there is not another cause. And even if all 728 cases were 1000 accurate the fact that 728 over the over 4 million babies in the country would experience some type of contact dermatitis to something in the diapers. As several people have already posted there are plenty of things ways to cause such a reaction even just laundering cloth diapers.

@NDM As much as I wish every parent used cloth diapers, in this instance I would be happy if parents would simply buy another brand of disposables. While I am speaking of 1 case of rash most likely caused by the new Dry Max, there have been many, many cases reported to Pampers officially. The fact that Pampers does not want to accept responsibility for even the possibility that their diapers could have led to this disturbs me.

I agree that other disposables and even cloth can cause rashes. My son has had a few rashes in cloth, but nothing very serious that some cream couldn’t fix. When a baby has a raw bottom then it is a very serious problem. The 728 members might not seem like a lot, and not every member had rash problems, but to the babies experiencing this pain it is. Every baby is worth fighting for.

My intent was two fold in posting this: to warn parents about the possible ill effects of the new Pampers and to suggest to any parents experiencing problems that maybe they should try a modern cloth diaper.

I certainly don’t expect them all to convert, but I do know for a fact that many have decided not to buy Pampers or risk their baby’s health by trying the new Dry Max and that is enough for me.

@NDM My son is one baby that has experienced a rash, and I was a loyal pampers user before I started cloth. Up until now Pampers was the brand I would buy for emergencies. I have contacted the company, and have received the exact same email response that other mothers have, only with my name attached. They are saying this is “unexpected” and offer more of a commercial than apology. My son has BURNS on his bum. That is unacceptable to me. I just purchased a box of diapers, that will last me 6-8 months. I use cloth for money savings, and can not afford to be buying more diapers on a whim.
I do not browbeat disposable users. Every one makes their own choices for their families. As parents, I do feel that we are entitled to healthy products for our children. I live in Canada, and walkers are banned because some people were not watching and children got hurt. Recalls go out all the time based on few children being scratched when a toy breaks. Why should we have to see many children burned (and yes, some children have had a pediatrician say they are chemical burns) while a company ignores and buries the concern?
.-= Chelsea´s last blog ..A giveaway so awesome I did a double take! =-.

Just wanted to offer up my cloth wipe solution: I use a mix of Bum Genius bamboo wipes and Thirsties Fab wipes. I roll them up and keep them on the changing table in a little lidded tub (it’s actually the tub that my Pampers Sensitive wipes came in when my son was first born!). I keep them wet with a solution made from water and dissolved “Baby Bits” cubes – I believe it’s a gentle combo of glycerin and essential oils. On the go, I keep a small spray bottle with the solution in my diaper bag. Voila!

My son gets those types of rashes when we have used huggies, pampers wipes. If I used one of those wipes at a diaper change by the next change his bottom is already raw and starting to look burned. I also can not use luvs or pampers diapers on him.

We have had to deal with this so many times that we have a standing prescription for the triple paste and another cream at the pharmacy.

Actually all three of my kids faced the same reactions to the wipes and diapers. My oldest is 13 and my youngest is 1. So I don’t think it is necessarily a new problem but a very bad problem nonetheless.

Thank you so much for this article. I am a serious cloth advocate as well as a cloth diaper business owner. I felt horrible for these ladies and so I offered them all a coupon to try out cloth. I am also available for any and all questions they may have. Here is the post I made on FB.

Hi Ladies, I just read about your recent struggles with disposables from the attached article. The article suggests inviting you to try cloth diapers. There are many different types of cloth diapers and one that will work for you and your family. If you would like more info on cloth please contact me and I would be happy to answer any questions. I am a mother to a beautiful 15 mth old son and we have used cloth diapers since shortly after he was born. I would also like to offer you all a 10% coupon if you would give cloth a try. Use coupon code: fbtrycloth at snappydiapers.com

I linked to this article and have passed it on to my friends, customers and to the RDA cloth diaper circle of which I am a member.

Pampers are horrible! Sposies in general are horrible! I’m soo thankful that I can use cloth moms are calling me crazy, but when I was in the bathroom nursing (my church took the nursing chair out of there and says I have to go to the bathroom) one of the ladies went in there and asked if I was still bloth diapering heck yeah I said and she was like ew.. She was changing her little boy and asked if I had rash cream since he has a real bad one. She said that she didnt know why he is always getting it. I told her Sposies can cause them with all the chemicals found in them. My DD has not gotten one rash and she is only 3 weeks younger than this little boy. Thanks for the post!

Hi- I just switched from Pampers Swaddlers to cloth diapers (bumgenius and smartipants) and after 3 days my 2 month old has developed a terribly painful looking rash on his bum. It is red and raised and hot to the touch. I put him back in the pampers and lathered him with diaper cream and he seems to be feeling a bit better. I have all of these cloth diapers that I really want to use- I really don’t want to use disposables- but what can I do as he is reacting to the cloth diapers and I can’t use diaper cream with them?

@Nene Sorry to hear about your rashes with cloth. The only thing that immediately pops into my head is the possibility that your baby is allergic to the suedecloth lining. I know there are some babies with this allergy, and the parents have to either switch to diapers with microfleece lining or a natural fabric like cotton. This could very well be the case. Another possibility is that your baby is allergic to the detergent you are using.

If I were you I would try a few prefolds or a diaper with fleece lining. If you have friends who cloth diaper you could borrow them? If the rash doesn’t come back using the other diapers it was the suedecloth.

You can also just try a new detergent and see if that helps. Some babies are very sensitive to the detergent, plus extra rinses will help if it is that. If you read some of the comments here some readers had similar rashes due to the detergent.

i started using huggies on my daughter when she was born, and battled rashes due to her having sensistive skin. i changes and started using pampers and have been using them ever since. she has not had one rash since then. i started her out in swaddlers and have since moved on to pampers cruisers with dry max and we still have not had a single rash. i also use the pampers sensistive wipes. my daughter is almost 8 months old and we love pampers and will continue to use them on her and the new baby one the way!

I am so glad I read your post regarding the pampers dry max. I’ve leaned more towards Huggies, but I do switch between the two. I have not bought any dry max.

e hve been using New pampers and hve not any problem now e r using Luv’s becuase they r cheaper..Sorry that this happen to these Baby’s . : ( Bless their hearts

@Nene I would greatly suggest the bumgenius stay dry liners. http://www.cottonbabies.com/product_info.php?cPath=37&products_id=102
The are a fleece material and go on top of the the diaper. I ordered them on a whim and LOVE them. They are not made of the same suede cloth and should help you figure out what is wrong. Also make sure to use the bumgenius help line. I have not used it, but I have several friends who have and they had a really positive experience.
@NDM I do know how you feel. I am sorry that you have had such a bad experience with some CD people. However, like anything else (politics, religion, homeschooling, the list goes on), you will find people who have no understanding of others with different experiences. I truely do believe an above average number of children seem to be having issues with these diapers. Just like you, parents of effected children do not like being browbeaten into faulting teething, diarrhea, and not changing their baby enough. I think there is some sort of chemical released in a new momma’s brain that makes them especially susceptible to guilt.
On the detergent front, I use method unscented and I love it. The new bottle is a pump and it is so easy to use the right amount with no mess ( one squirt!). I would make sure no one is using too much detergent- if you use too much it can stay in your dipes. Good luck everyone and thanks for posting this.

Poor baby….
Okay – so i tried dry max for my 3 month old. For the first time ever he pooped thru his diaper and stained his clothes. I also noticed he has a daiper rash and the urine is not absorbed as well.. Not sure what i am going to do as i only have a few older #1 swaddlers left. Def going to call papmers and complain…..not very happy as i loved th old pampers

Look at this load of crap…

I’m vomiting in my mouth!

Shame on you, Pampers. This is yet another reason why parents need to realize that disposables are a choice. They spend hours and hours researching the best, safest carseat and yet few research their diapering options to see what is safest and healthiest for their baby.

So glad I threw the free sample in the trash. I opened it and the perfume smell was so strong it gave me a headache. Once again, I can confirm that my decision to use cloth was a good one.

IMHO, if your child doesn’t get a rash from disposables its because they have gotten used to the chemicals. That doesn’t mean they aren’t causing harm!

DO NOT BUY PAMPER DRY MAX!!

I put my 11 month old in the them and the same thing just happened. It only took one diaper..and she she has the same thing as pictured above, plus puss and blistering. I am so concerned with what the diaper manufactures are doing, we are going to cloth with flushable inserts. I will be writting them a letter and letting them know.

I hope the word gets out asap so no other baby has to go throught this.

My daughter who is 19 months old is heading to the doctors today due to a nasty reaction to these diapers. It looks like she was burned really bad with bumps and blisters. I’ve switched her back to Huggies Little Movers. I understand a baby will get diaper rash here and there but to this extreme is not right.

I have only read through some of the previous comments, but I have experienced this same “rash” with my 19 mo. daughter. I cloth diaper 99% of the time, so I only keep a few disposables around (for when other people will be changing her) and received a sample pack of 3 Cruisers with Dry Max diapers from an online offering. My dd ended up with this same chemical burn and we only used TWO of them. It covered the entire area where the diaper touched her skin (butt, hips, and was especially horrible in the genital area). Her skin is nearly cleared up now, but it was awful, blistery and incredibly painful. Her entire top layer of skin in the entire area where the diaper touched her ended up peeling off. In my book, that is NOT a typical diaper rash (she’s my 3rd child, I’m not new at this) and is definitely indicative of an allergic-type reaction.

Thank you for helping to make others aware of the potential problem.
.-= Laura´s last blog ..Preparing for Deployment: Helping children cope =-.

Very educational blog post I’m an avid cloth diaper user, but recently took a 1 week break and switched to Pampers Swaddlers with Drymax. My son was 6 weeks old at the time, and went through a 1/2 box (108 diapers )in that 7 days. He also developed a painful burn like rash, which also peeled while using the product. As you can see, it wasn’t from lack of changes. I never put the 2 together until now. Thanks for the insight, as I now know how to prevent the rash from happening again. Stay away from Pampers!

@NDM – I am one of the 1,000 plus members of the FB page “Pampers bring back the OLD CRUISERS/SWADDLERS”. My 2 yr olds have worn Pampers exclusively since they were in NICU. I am one of Pampers’ loyal consumers that bought unmarked boxes of Cruisers containing the new Dry Max.

My children experienced the most excruciating painful burns on their buttocks and genitals. My children have only had a couple of rashes previously, stemming from od’ing on pineapple and clementines. I change their diapers on a regular basis – I do not let them ferment in urine or feces.

For 2 weeks, I tried to isolate everything they ate (they only drink milk & water and we’ve never had a problem with those 2) to see if it changed their rashes. Nothing changed. But I remained constant in diapering them in the offensive Dry Max never suspecting that the diapers might be the culprit.

The moment my children realized I was going to change their diapers, they would start crying, running away from me & shaking in fear. At their worst, these burns were bright red & bleeding. My husband’s nurse took a look and said that they looked like chemical burns and gave me a cream to try. While it gave them some relief along with water & cloth wipes (instead of Pampers wipes), they didn’t go away. We thankfully ran out of those diapers and I went out for more Pampers Cruiser. This time, I ended up with “regular” Cruisers. My children’s rashes disappeared as if over night. They, however, still bear scars on their privates.

I didn’t realize it might be the diapers until I bought another small package of the new Dry Max (properly labeled this time) for DD. Almost immediately, her labia started turning red again. A quick google of Dry Max led me to the FB page above and I haven’t touched those sorry Dry Max since.

Unless you have had the experience of dealing with chemical burns on your child’s genitals because of diapers, please refrain from belittling the 1000+ parents who are reporting these conditions.

As to those who think that we’re not changing our children enough? Re-read the above.

The bottom line for me is that if I had known that I was buying Dry Max, I would have chalked up the horrible burns to the diapers almost immediately and moved on – either to another Pampers line or a different brand altogether. End of story. Instead, because of Pampers’ deliberate decision NOT to package Dry Max in properly marked boxes, my children suffered chemical burns from their new, innovative diapers.

I am now a Huggies and 7th Generation customer and will NEVER touch or buy a Pampers product again.

[...] Recently launched in America, the new Pampers Dry Max is causing a few problems with nappy rash according to Reuters, a Facebook group and some on-line blogs such as this one: Dirty Diaper Laundry. [...]

I’ve used Pamper’s Cruisers for over 5 years now between both of my sons, the youngest being 2 now. I’ve never had anything happen that’s been more than the typical rash that they can get if a diaper sits on them a little too long or if they have a loose stool that can bite their skin. This always goes away with ointment within 1 or 2 applications. We’ve always been very happy with the diapers! Both of our boys were big boys- both weighing in over 9 lbs when born. Cruisers were the only diapers that stretched over their wide little bellies that didn’t leak. Based on the above reports, maybe some of the situations with the bad rash was actually a yeast infection or impetigo ( I know that’s normally on the face, but I’ve heard of cases where it’s on the child’s bottom). I spreads very easily and it needs the attention of a prescription to get rid of it. Most people treat it like a rash and wonder why it stays around. It looks very similar to a severe rash with blisters. I’ve found the best way to stay rash free is by changing often. The diapers do hold a ton, but who wants to sit in that for 4 or 5 hours!

I am a new parent, and we have been exclusively using pampers diapers. This scares the crap out of us, and we have already switched diapers. We will not be using pampers any more (probably ever due to how they seem to be responding to the situation).

I guess they’d rather stick their head in the sand than retain loyal customers.

I use them and I havent had a problem none what so ever, but every child is different…

All I got to say it YES USING A SMALLER SIZE DIAPER CAN CAUSE DIAPER RASH…Im not saying that is what happen to these poor babies… If My son had issues I would stop using them as well, He had issues with Walmart brand wipes, I stopped using them.

Oh I forgot to add, I always use Burts Bees diaper powder after most changes. but i do notice when i was using huggies if my son got to wet he would develope a diaper rash.. he had several over the winter, and i was using huggies.. I dont really like Huggies, they leak to much. I used pampers back when he was a newborn then swticed to Luvs, til he was 18months then I started using Huggies..and had tons of leakage problems, not fitting right around the waist… I tryied this Pampers and I have again had no problem…

I’ve always been on the fence about cloth diapering. I’ve done it now for nearly 9 years but would use sposies if life was tough or laundry to much or for traveling. After this incident I’ve sworn to NEVER use another sposie. Seriously. That is scary what they’ve done and what has happened to those poor babies! Im DONE! YUCK! Now off to read your hybrid reviews because those will be nice for vacation this year.
.-= Vicki´s last blog ..I’ve been MIA… =-.

Us too!
Our little slugger went 17 months with 1 or 2 minor diaper rashes. Then I noticed that diapers.com was out of the regular cruisers so we bought the new dry max. After 36 hours of Dry Max…… BIG RASH! He did not get the burn that some are talking about but developed a rash that has stayed for 10 days with triple paste. After reading about other issues on the web, we switched to another brand and the rash is gone and has not come back. Shame on Pampers. Why try to fix something that was not broken.

That rash looks more like a fungal infection from being wet to me. I have seen many rashes before. Babies can get fungal infection if after you clean them with a wet wipe or a damp sponge during a nappy change and they are not dried off properly. I would say that this rash is more to do with being wet when the nappy went on. Not a disposable fan, only use mcns.

I can’t stand the smell of pampers. This article didn’t surprise me at all. I use Fuzzi Bunz cloth diapers most of the time and when I go somewhere I use Seventh Generation disposables. They are healthier for baby and better for the environment too (chlorine-free). They can be kind of hard to find in stores, but amazon sells them at a pretty good price.

Opinions wanted on Seventh Generation!!
As in my earlier response, I’ve been very happy w/ cruisers, mainly because they have never leaked for either of my sons, who were both hefty boys. However, I’ve been wondering about the Seventh Generation diapers ever since my mom turned me on to that company. If it was up to her, I would be using cloth diapers; but for a mother or 2 who works full time, I just don’t see that being realistic for me!! For those of you who use Seventh Generation, what do you think of them? The main problem I’ve had with Huggies and even Luvs or the Walmart brand is that they all leak around their waists because they aren’t stretchy enough. Just curious about Seventh Generation.
Any opinions about them, shoot them my way…
Thanks!

My son will be 3 this July and we have always only used Pampers on him. I got a small pack of Huggies when I was pregnant and used them and was not impressed he leaked through them very easily. As I said we have been using Pampers for 3 years and do use their dry max version now. I can sit here and honestly tell you my son has NEVER had any type of diaper rash in all 3 years of his life.
My nieces suffered with diaper wash when they were little no matter which diaper they wear. So I have seen some bad diaper rash. That looks like a diaper rash from sitting in pee to long. If people change dipaers more often they wouldnt have diaper rash.

Before making the move to cloth diapers, I was a hardcore, die hard Pampers fan. Their Sensitive wipes were by far the best I’d ever used (having had to use them v. a few other brands as well as some unscented while I was having some… uh… problems – yeah, I could vouch that they were the best.) and I love love loved the Comfort Weave as well as the cloth-like soft material they used on the outside of the diapers. I even went as far as to write them a love letter. Yes – that’s right. A love letter.

I started using cloth diapers in January this year, about a month or two before Pampers switched to the Dry Max. I’m SO glad that I did too. I love cloth diapering and I’m glad that I was able to leave Pampers with a good opinion of them. But this? This is awful. I can’t imagine. My heart breaks for that baby and her poor mom. Ouch.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I’ve heard a few concerns about the new Pampers, but nothing specific so now I know. I was just telling a friend last night that I’d heard the new ones were awful but couldn’t say why. Now I can.

I hate Pampers!! I’ve never tried the new ones but my youngest daughter coughed for the first 7-8 months of her life..the doctor just said babies cough..not like this!! She coughed all the time.. i figured she must have my asthma..at around7-8 months i started trying some cloth.just during the day at first and i started noticing she stopped coughing but then would cough all night…once i switched to cloth and a different brand of disposables the coughing stopped completely. I never would have thought it was her diapers causing the cough…i wish i had switched earlier..i still feel terrible and she’s now two!

@nene I cloth diaper full time, and the only brand I’ve ever had trouble with was smartipants. Maybe try just one brand at a time? My son is exclusively in BGs now with no problems.

If people were to read the entire article, this rash was diagnosed as contact dermatits, NOT a rash due to letting her sit in the diaper too long. Do you honestly think I would be complaining if I was that neglectful of a mother?
Also, I have used Pampers for months and months, and now suddenly, since switching to the Dry Max diapers she got this rash. Think before you post something that makes you sound like a moron.

Also, beause you have been using Pampers on your child their entire life and never had a rash, that has no bearing on how other children react to certain things. My daughter is lactose intolerant, but because yours can drink milk, does that mean it’s impossible for my daughter to be? Again, think. It makes you sound uneducated when you spew things like this.

my daughter has gotten a rash like this from all diapers with the exception of huggies pure and natural (even from the so called organic ones).

[...] long ago I shared with you the story of my friend and her experience with the new Dry Max diapers and the terrible rash her baby endured.  I also [...]

I do not know why anyone is surprised by this…
A big company selling toxic products and not caring is nothing new…

Just look at j&j baby products…full of chemicals that are linked to cancer, but hey at least its cheap an smells good…the extra dollar isn’t worth it for the kind that wont cause tumors!

My daughter has a terrible rash which was sudden, unexplainable and wouldn’t clear up. It came the same time she switched to the new pampers. I’m very unsatisfied.

wow, i had bought these pampers for my daughter and they gave her this same type of rash. lucky i stopped using them . thank god shes potty trained

this is the reason we switched to using bambo nature diapers. they are 100% natural inside and still fit like pampers. we buy them here… nurturetheseed.com

I have a girlfriend who uses cloth diapers and her son got a TERRIBLE rash – he could not even wear a diaper for 3 days straight. Cloth isn’t the right choice for everyone. But, I do thank you for posting the issue with Pampers.

We bought these Dry Max diapers right when they came in the market, curious and excited as to how good this product sounds and how it willl increase my baby sisters (who is 15 months now) amount of playtime, even though it’d be more costly. It turned out to be the exact opposite. She began to get rashes all over her back and privates, and would become extremely cranky when one tried to change her daiper. She began scratching herself everywhere, from her thighs to her lower bottom, and this caused cat-like scratch marks and scabs over the rashes. She even lost some interest in playing with her toys, always preoccupied with scratching. At first we thought it was a food allergy, but we still were unsure of the cause of this matter so we went to our doctors. He claimed that my baby sister had dry skin and perscribed allergy medicine and cream, and neither of these helped at all. We’ve been at a loss for words for the past couple of weeks, unable to figure out how these rashes suddenly appeared. It was with pure luck that I watched the news last night and found out that my mother is not alone in this matter. We switched back to the old pampers and the rashes are already disappearing, and my baby sister doesnt even touch her back anymore. She’s as happy and as peaceful as ever. If anybody is thinking of buying pampers cruisers dry max, dont even because it’s the worst thing you could possibly do to a baby!!

[...] posting about Pampers Dry Max causing rashes on April 12 the media at large has jumped on board.  Heather from RDA has called the troops to contact their [...]

The diapers are not the problem trust me. I’ve used every kind out there I know. Now there could be some sort of chemicals or perfumes on them that are more bothersome to those with really sensitive skin. I’ve noticed some diapers are more like paper than others and not very soft and i belive this would make worse any already irritated skin. The biggest problem why this is getting associated with these dry max dipers is because they do hold more and therefore people tend to leave them on longer. You can’t let your babies sit in diapers or any kind or you are gonna have problem. Now before anyone gets all defensive and feels as though I’m accusing them of being a bad mom let me explain…first of all unless you are the only one who has contact with you child and changes them or cares for them than it’s highly likely that this has started at someone elses hand that’s not as careful as you, such as daycare or dad or grandma. Before you get mad at these people relize that they aren’t probably as use to taking care of the child as you and may just be forgetful not bad people. Dads can sometimes just not think about these things and even if it is you that doesn’t make you a bad mom, moms have alot on their plates and it’s not easy. I know this personally.

There are also other factors that can make this worse such as #1 eating too much sugar (this doesn’t mean candy, you’d be suprised what all supposedly healthy foods are full of sugar and this cause rashes) #2 your child having sensitve skin ( perfume or chemicals in wipes, diaper, lotions or creams can cause chronic rash for some) #3 your own hygine (you need to alway wash hands before and of course after changing child you could be passing yeast or even herpes). First off yeast is always the culprit with most diaper rash especially chronic ones. This is why diaper rash creams don’t usually work or take a long time to see results. Get some adult yeast cream from walmart and of course don’t use the applicators, just squeeze it from the tube and apply it by hand externally only. Make sure to wash your hands super good after touching this. Don’t waste your time talking to your doctor about this they will act like your crazy, but this will work you’ll see for your self. If it’s sever like in the pic above this could take a month of applying everyday and don’t stop just because it’s mostly better. Now after it’s gone to prevent this use a good diaper rash cream everyday for awhile especially at night and after bowel movements. The main thing however is going to be keeping the diapers changed and I mean right away. This is the problem!

Like I said what they eat can make this worse and with some bad diets you just have to get that stuff off instantly even just wet diapers. I do recommend usng the highest absorbency available to keep dryer especially at night and some brands are better than others I’ve found, but cloth diapers for me isn’t an option and I just don’t see how anyone with more than one child and a life can do it this day in time anyway. I can’t comment on them cause I never tried them, but I would think diaper rash would be more likely with cloth. Not to be disgustingly graphic but try using a wash cloth next time you have your period as opposed to a tampon or pad and see what happens. I bet you will have a mess and irritation too. let’s take it a step further and try using anything pad tampon etc for too long without changing it during your period and see if your not going to the doctor yourself. See my point, the same way us women can get yeast infections etc, is the same for babies.

Which brings me to another major subject. I know people don’t like to talk about this or think about this being a concern but anytime I see A bad rash or irration that doesn’t have an obvious source ( such as diarrhea, too much sugar or acidic foods. etc) I worry about sexual abuse. This goes on way more than anyone wants to believe and we have to protect our children. If you don’t think it’s possible for anyone you know to have done such a thing or you think you baby is too young your being a fool. I’m sorry to say that so harshly, but we all as moms need to be aware because it is our duty to protect our babies. So please keep this in mind! If you are not the only one caring for your child/children then you need to consider this even if the only other care giver is someone you truely trust and love. Do not ever accuse anyone of this however and make sure you can get proof first. For one thing this will make the person cover their tracks and be on the defense, but also it would just be wrong and pointless without proof. Best thing to do in my opinion is try to catch them in the act by showing up unexpectly or better yet nannie cam. Also take the child right away to the doctor and ask to have a kit done to check for sexual abuse. Another option is to just simply not leave you child alone with anyone or atleast not the same people for awhile and see if things improve. To me that’s also a pretty good indicator, although it’s not likely enough to hold water in court. One last thing on this subject, It’s not always sexual abuse either it can be physical and even not intentional. Neglect is abuse, but its not always on purpose either, so becare how you address the situation. Neglet can happen alot in daycare due to too many children or bad staff, but it can also be simply new parenting or a dad that’s not use to the responsiblity. These can all be very different situations and should be handled with care.

Now back to the diet quickly, there are some things babies and toddlers should never eat even if it is in tiny abouts on special occasions in my opinion. everyone has their opinions though, so I’ll just say this, try it and see if it doesn’t work. When I say “try” though it doesn’t mean a week or so, you will need a good couple of months for the body to adjust to change. If your kids been eating wrong for awhile its not gonna change over night. So here’s what I recomend… probiotics in formula or milk everytime. You can get it at the healthfood store in powder or chewables for preschoolers. This will help for more than just diaper rash you’ll see. Your child will rarely get sick if your consistent with this one. Next nothing to drink but formula, plain milk, Filter water, or real 100% juice mixed with over half Filtered water. Give you babies and kids Vitamins no matter if thier doctor says they probably don’t need them. For babies they have drops to put in formula and for toddlers and up chewables. I like the gummies best and they taste like candy so they will take them easier, but get a good brand from the health food store not walmart or just where ever. Let anything sweet be a treat not a meal and not everytime. If your doing baby foods do more veggies and cerals and less fruits. The more greens the better. Varity is really not as important to them as it may be to us. For toddlers and preschoolers try not giving them so many carbs like breads, crackers or pastas. Small pieces of protien (chicken, deli turkey, salmon) and cooked veggies( peas, green beans, pinto beans etc.) should be most meals. Eggs are great too. Remeber though they will only want to eat what they see you eat. Friuts should be treated like a dessert and not given all the time. If your worried about vitamins this day in time there isn’t much in real food anymore anyway thats why you need to give them one, so don’t feel like if they don’t eat enough oranges they aren’t getting enough vitamin c. I know this is sort of vague, but you get the idea and can look online for sample diets. Try searching candidia diets online and apply that age appropriately. This will work and if you keep all this in mind diaper rash and other health problem won’t be a concern. I’m speaking from personal experiance. I’m a real mom and this is my advice on what I know personally works. I’m not a doctor, so you can take my advice or leave it it’s up to you. I just like to help others, especially children. You name it I’ve been through it. Hope this helps. God bless.

I would just like to comment that those diapers no not hold more! i was a user of pampers cruisers before dry max and even though my son never got a rash they do not hold more. they are thinner which makes them easier to break and even before the diaper had much liquid due to how they changed the absorbant area to mainly the front with not as much in back the diaper droops horribly!
i am not even going to get into what you said on nutrition becuase i want to stay nice.

@Adora– before you post on a public forum, you really should check your spelling/grammar. Also, you are making a LOT of assumptions. You said it yourself. “I can’t comment on them cause I never tried them, but I would think diaper rash would be more likely with cloth” Exactly. You cant comment cause you havent tried them. So stop posting ignorant assumptions.

Cloth causes LESS diaper rash because there are NO TOXIC chemicals in cloth. I could write a book and respond to all of your inaccurate information and accusations but it’s not even worth my time. You need to do some research, and THEN come back and comment.

I’m passing herpes and yeast to my babies every time I forget to wash my hands before I change them!?!? No WAY!….. wait… wouldn’t I have to HAVE or have come into CONTACT with those things to therefore be able to pass them along. …………… ROFL. Would love to see a response from this person.

Wait, I’m not supposed to use the yeast applicators that I got from Wal Mart!?!? Oh NO! Why didn’t someone tell me sooner?!?

“I’ve found, but cloth diapers for me isn’t an option and I just don’t see how anyone with more than one child and a life can do it this day in time anyway.”

i don’t CD full time on this baby becuase i started late and had to get a feel of what kinds i liked but seriously, you know NOTHING.. i can honestly say to CD many are as easy as a little spray (to get off poo) and toss in the bin then velcro on a new one.. then the rest of the work is done by the washing machine in spare time.. not that hard.. really!!! but everyone on here already knows all about excuses..

“Not to be disgustingly graphic but try using a wash cloth next time you have your period as opposed to a tampon or pad and see what happens. I bet you will have a mess and irritation too”

evidentally you rae not aware that some of the readers on here use “mama cloth” and do just fine without “irritation”. with that as well as cloth diapers it all comes down to what fabric is used. obviously if you are using something as abrasive as a cheap wash cloth down there it could get a bit irritationg.. as for mess, well, i use tampons but have used normal pads before and it ALL can get messy. that is what we have to go through as women..

” I worry about sexual abuse. This goes on way more than anyone wants to believe and we have to protect our children”

i do not see how you inked sexual abuse with diapers but okay.. i’ll bite.. diaper rashes and sexual abuse are not linked.. what planet are youi living on to rant about that relating to diaper rashes babies happen to have gotten from pampers?? honestly, do you REALLY think that a sudden rash all of the sudden when dry max was switched in and gets better once a different diaper gets used has anything to do with any other thing other than THAT DIAPER?? the cause is fairly obvious there..

HOLY CRAP!!!! There is some DANGEROUS stuff in here!!!!! As a RN with peds experience married to a pediatrician- GOOD doctors do no blow off diaper rash- especially serious ones!!!! There are already probiotics in most formulas and adding more can be dangerous! I am a “real mom” too- I have 3 kids- and some of this stuff is just plain nuts! … Filtered water is BAD- if you choose to give this to your kiddos you must supplement things that are missing, like fluoride, calcium, and various other minerals in water– Yes she in NOT a doctor, and her advise should NOT be followed!

@ adora-oh and ps- 3 kids- one in school 2 in diapers, work part time AND yes I use cloth!!!! She is just too lazy to take a little extra effort for her children- nice

To everyone else on this who read my comment, after looking it over please excuse MY grammar. I was so livid with that post that Idid not re-read anything *LOL* I really can write, i’m just not the best quick typer.

I have not taken the time to sit and read through EVERYONES replies however I did read a bunch in the beginning. If you ask me every baby is different and everyone on here claiming “I will never use pampers again, and will advise other mothers not to either” you really dont know what will happen. Its exactly like saying mothers arent cleaning their babies properly… no one knows how each and every mother takes care of their child. I myself have used pampers since day 1 on my son and have had no problems what so ever where as huggies were so damn thin he leaked through them like no tomorrow!! Im not trying to say that any individual is wrong, Im just saying to each their own, believe what u want but dont force it on other individuals and/or bad mouth a company.

I personally don’t use Pampers or any other name brand because they’re too expensive. I did at the beginning with Pampers Swaddlers because we’d received a few boxes at the baby shower. We never had any problems with those (but that was before Dry Max was introduced). My daughter is 9 months old and has been using Target Up & Up as they’re the least expensive I’ve been able to find and do a fabulous job. She had one bout with diaper rash, but it was after she’d had some diarrhea so not the diaper’s fault. We had a sample pack of Cruisers that I tried last week and I really didn’t like them. The waistband stretched too much and it was hard to get a good fit on my daughter. The Target brand fits her really well.

We considered CDing but ultimately decided against it because we don’t have our own washing machine and we’re on a very tight budget. Disposables are less expensive over all when it comes to the sheer number of cloth diapers you need and buying new ones when they quickly outgrow them. I also don’t have the extra time or money to wash them every 2 or 3 days when we normally haul the laundry down to the laundromat once every 2 weeks. I applaud the moms that have the resources and the time to CD, but it’s not a good option for us.

My daughter was in disposables for the first 4 months of her life, and her bum looked quite similar to that on more than one occasion. Generally from pampers. I will never forget seeing her bleeding weeping bum as an 11 day old. It made me sit down and cry. I did put some vitamin C serum on her bum, but it stung like a ….. whatever stings. She screamed terribly for a few minutes, but it cleared the rash up within 24 hours. And it hadn’t looked too different to your picture. It was really horrible. Since we switched to Bambinex Bamboo we’ve not had a single nappy rash. I’ve written a bit on my blog about finding the right reusables, because getting started was really tough. We, however, will never look back.

I haven’t read all the comments, so I apologize if I’m repeating info. I made my own cloth wipes to use. Get a few yards of flannel from a fabric store, cut it into squares (slightly larger than your ideal wipe), and hem the squares. For the solution, I use water with a few drops of tea tree oil for antimicrobial purposes. In the past, I’ve used these by putting the solution in a spray bottle and moistening a wipe before each diaper change. This worked fine, except for when I was caught with surprise poop and had to try to moisten another wipe in the middle of a yucky diaper change. I’ve now switched to putting folded wipes into a plastic wipe box and pouring the solution over them. I fold them so that they come through the pop-up hole like disposable wipes, and I can just toss them in the pail with the cloth diapers instead of separating out wipes for the trash and diapers for the pail. It’s definitely been a great arrangement for us!

I’ve been using the dry max and no problems at all…

My son is almost 7 weeks old and he has been in the papmers swaddlers both types dry max and the prior version… and had NO NO I REPEAT NO problems… this is always what happens when a new product is released… now my mother in law refuses to believe anything but what sites a small unproven sites like this says… she now thinks he has gotten “BURNED” but he hasn’t.. and says im a bad mom for continuing to use this product i like and have had no problems with… As long as P&G has been around they arent in the business of losing money which a true problem like this would cause.. children are sensitive to many many things… millions of parents use these diapers and have no problems but 728 on a facebook page do and all of a sudden its the product if it were the diapers then a much higher percentage of babies would be having this reaction.. i dont blame the parents let me make that clear we all do our very best everyday to take care of our kids.. and it is horrible that those lil ones woudl have to suffer through any pain like that… lets focus on really researching these claims before we boycott..

I know you happened to find my take on Pampers, but this had made it to major news networks. And I believe the Facebook group as over 7,000 members last I checked. The CPSC is now investigating the diapers. This is not one mother’s problems, but thousands who have experienced the rash. The issue is the severity of the rash and not the rash itself, which many children experience.

My 23 mo old son has never had a case of diaper rash even once. He has no known allergies and has been the pinnacle of health since day one. After being put in ONE pampers cruiser with drymax, he developed severe chemical burns to both of his legs within hours. I have never heard of a case of diaper rash developing immediately into reddish purple blisters that ooze puss and blood, and neither has our pediatrician. I cannot shout it loud enough for some of you self righteous dolts to hear: THESE ARE NOT ISOLATED CASES OF LAZY MOMS NOT CHANGING DIAPERS FREQUENTLY ENOUGH OR FEEDING OUR CHILDREN BAD FOOD! THESE ARE SERIOUS CHEMICAL BURNS BEING CAUSED BY PAMPERS DRY MAX PRODUCTS!

Please stop belittling those of us who have children suffering so needlessly. We are loving, good parents who only want to see our children happy, healthy and vibrant again, and are begging Proctor & Gamble to take the products off the shelves to avoid future suffering. To those of you who have used the pampers dry max products with no problems, I’m truly happy to hear your children remain
healthy and are in no pain. It’s incredibly unfortunate not all of share that same experience.

My daughter developed a terribe rash after they changed all the pampers to dry max( you can not even buy any without their DRY MAX “technology”. I am very disappointed with pampers. I have 4 children and have used pampers on all of them. I can not believe they are ignoring the fact they are causing these babies all of this unnecessary suffering with these rashes. I did change brands and the rash has improved. I am a nurse, and I am certain it is from the pampers, as my daughter has never had a rash, and is 21 months old. Time to push the potty training. I am done with pampers. They had a great product that worked very well, and they had to go and screw it up.

WE got rid of the Dry Max after WEEKS of being told to use this cream, that cream, change his diet, bathe him better. My son was in misery and I was so depressed that I could not resolve the problem that I lost almost 10 lbs. It is heartbreaking to rely on this company’s product for so long, only to have it inexplicably stop working. Worse yet, it has done, perhaps, irreparable damage to my son’s bottom. I am trying Tushies now but the verdict is still out. I started last year with Huggies and Target brand but they caused rashes until we stayed with the old pampers which were just great.

Six diapers into the package of Pampers I started to notice a bright red rash. Tried three different types of creams, and yet it never went away. Two weeks later it is still there. Two days ago I switched to Huggies and finally able to see a little bit of the redness going away. Don’t try to tell me it wasn’t the Pampers Dry Max.

i agree with all the complaints about pampers cruisers dry max.. i went thru the same problem with my baby.. she also got a rash with this product..

I, as well had the unfortunate experience of these chemical burns with my child. My six month old son broke out in a horrible red rash with welts. I have started a petition a change.org, in hopes of convincing Proctor and Gamble to recall this product, until they can figure out a solution. Please join with me and stand up for our babies!!

PROCTER AND GAMBLE 1,4-DIOXANE IS IN BABY PRODUCTS TOO/BRENDA KIDD

[...] Pampers to do something: New Dry Max Pampers Causing Rash, Burns, Sores, Boils? – The Consumerist Pampers new Dry Max causing Severe Rashes | Dirty Diaper Laundry P&G dismisses Dry Max Pampers rash rumors | [...]

My kids have never been able to wear Pampers, period. 
To Adora: when my newborn breaks out in a bleeding rash at six hours of age and, as with the child mentioned above, was diagnosed with severe contact dermititis after three to four changes during that period, it is not a result of diet, antibiotics, sitting in soil.  The pediatrician sent my husband out immediately for new diapers.  My daughter cleared up within 24 hours of shifting to Huggies Pure and Natural.
Similarly, my son reacted to his first Pampers within one hour of the change; and he hadn’t even wet himself yet!  But then, I get immediate contact dermatitis from Always pads as well.  Maybe it’s a genetic sensitivity.  However, the culprit IS P&G products.
Mind you, I’m not a “sue-happy” individual.  But asking the company to return to what worked for their faithful clientele is neither insulting nor a sign of naivete on the parents’ part.  Responding appropriately is just smart business.  I hardly thing the controversy has helped their sales any.

A customer service rep would NOT say to move up a  size for a diaper rash. And don’t you think that big corporations POSSIBLY have a standard reply to give. By the way it may seem like a lot of moms complaining of the same thing however in comparison to how many babies use the Dry Max diapers to the amount of these type of rashes (ITS MINIMAL). I feel very bad for these babies and as a mom I understand how much your heartaches to see your baby in pain. However, do you think some babies are CHEMICAL RESISTANT and some are not? I do not think so. If you do enough research that is not biased or where you are only looking for what YOU want to hear. You would KNOW that Pampers with Dry Max are made of the EXACT same ingredients the old Cruisers were and as the diapers without Dry Max. They simply have less paper fluff cotton, the stuff that makes the diaper bulky. And the absorbent material USED IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE DISPOSABLE Diaper on the market is place throughout the whole liner, instead of how they were before just placed in one general spot. I understand these rashes are REAL but it is not a direct cause of the diaper. It is a combination of things, like the babies skin sensitivities allergies, the way their urine reacts with the materials etc. Do you honestly think Pampers THE #1 worldwide best seller of diapers would intentionally HARM a baby. NO!! Other babies get these exact same type of reactions from other diapers, other materials, so on. It is a skin allergy or something. OTHERWISE EVERY BABY WOULD HAVE THIS REACTION! I am sorry but both my boys since they were Newborns used the Dry Max diapers which work better than ANY other diaper I have ever tried. And I don’t think my boys, one who was in the NICU and premature and one who has eczema bad (sensitive skin) somehow have the ability to FIGHT OFF a chemical. These are the #1 selling diapers and have been given many awards. I am so TIRED of this. People say there baby got a “burn” from the Dry Max and they are using BABY DRY (NO DRY MAX)!! Keep in mind people like to jump on the band wagon be a part of the heat, get attention, whatever. SO I don’t believe that the # 1 choice of hospitals (pampers) and the diaper company who has been around the longest (pampers) would LIE or GIVE THE “RUN AROUND” maybe it is FACT that scientist and toxicologist, and dermatologists, and pediatricians, and so on.. have tested these diapers had ALL FOUND NO CHEMICALS!! NO DIRECT LINK. Which means that yeah the rash began when you started using the Dry max but the Dry Max doesn’t cause it, it is many factors. And also I think it is very nice that a LARGE company would SUGGEST you go to the DR!! They are not going to admit there are Chemicals in their diapers when there is not and that is ALL YOU PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR!! I am glad these babies get better. Definitely different diapers work better for diff. babies. Some babies get these “rashes” from every diaper except one. FOR REAL BOTTOM LINE IS DO REAL RESEARCH. NOT BIASED, NOT JUST LISTENING TO OTHER MOMS, TRY the Consumer Product Safety Commission for the USA, and Pediatricians and etc. This makes me really sick! Its easier to blame the diapers than to understand simple chemistry and genetic make up of the human body and how some things react and skin sensitivities. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVE CRUISERS, AND THERE WOULD BE AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE IF THEY TOOK THEM OFF THE MARKET BECAUSE THE NUMBERS DO NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO COMPARING!! Lastly, the picture above was diagnosed as “dermatitis” 
Dermatitis is a catch-all term for a
group of skin conditions that exhibit a rash. Generally these rashes are
the result of some sort of allergic reaction, and dermatitis can be separated into groupings based on what type of allergen the response is caused by. Eczema is probably the best known type of skin condition in this category, and is more properly referred to as eczematous dermatitis.
Treatment is dependent on the precise type, although generally avoiding
the allergen once it is identified will help the rash clear up
eventually.
The outward appearance of the skin condition depends
on a number of factors, including the type, where it is present, how
severe it is, and how long it has been present. The one common symptom
to the entire category is that it is itchy, and all types are also
characterized by redness of the skin. Additionally, the condition may
cause blisters, scaling of the skin, and crusting over of the skin. The
borders of the rash may be quite striking, or they may gradually fade
into the surrounding skin tone.
                                   SOUNDS LIKE A CHEMICAL BURN TO ME… OR MAYBE AN ALLERGEN CAUSING DERMATITIS AND ELIMINATING THE ALLERGEN (the diaper for these babies) WILL CLEAR IT UP!  AND DERMATITIS CAN BE CAUSED BY MANY MANY ALLERGENS!

*STOP BEING IGNORANT, I FEEL BAD FOR YOUR BABIES, BUT YOUR IGNORANCE I DO NOT, SO really someone please tell me it would be okay for me to take a cup full of chemicals and dump it  on my babies skin and promise me they will be okay because the FACT that they were the Cruisers w DRY MAX (which supposedly your saying has causes chemical burns, from chemicals) and they did not get a burn that that cup full of chemicals will not hurt my baby! ” Do you call the strawberry farm where your child ate a strawberry and had a severe allerigic reaction and say TAKE STRAWBERRIES OFF THE MARKET, BOYCOTT STRAWBERRUES, NO!! You live you learn what you are allergic to and you AVOID it. Don’t ruin it for everyone else! Thank you!

I hope you and other parents learn how to do research and learn how to EDUCATE yourselves. You just need something to blame! No THEY SHOULD not pull them from the shelves..because they are the most mom and baby tested diaper, given at least 5 different awards. Because it is a top seller. Or because a minimal amount of babies got a severe reaction from them. Again as I said before would you call a strawberry farm where your child ate a strawberry and had a severe allergic reaction and tell them STOP SELLING STRAWBERRIES, because it is an allergen to some? Just wondering. My friend by the way picking strawberries had this same type of rash all up her arms, she said it felt like a burn and it DID look like a burn but IT WAS NOT a burn it was an allergic reaction. People are going to be allergic to things and when you realize you are you avoid it. But in this case with the diapers, you want EVERYONE TO avoid it. It is not right because a very very small margin of babies have this reaction? Research “Dermatitis” and what the symptoms and signs are. It sounds exactly like everyone is describing. But you all would rather say no it is a chemical. Because Pampers the #1 selling diapers in the world  would do that, and ruin there name. Do you even know how much research and testing goes into a product before it goes on the market. This research, for dry max diapers especially, included I believe 200,000-300,000 babies. And do you think some babies, all which have delicate skin, some more sensitive than others, are RESISTANT To chemicals. ITS ABSURD! What all you parents are trying to say and smear pampers name. It is sad and ridiculous. It does not add up!! Did you know that babies get these same “burn-like”rashes from other diapers, other materials they come in contact with. JUST STOP AND DO UN-BIASED RESEARCH!! I love love love the Cruisers and have never seen a diaper rash on either of  my sons! Thank God. I have seen them get allergic reactions to things. I guess I am just smart enough to not blame whoever makes that product or food for my child(s) or my own allergy. Parents learn what works best for you baby and stick with it. This whole thing has gone so far out of proportion it is absolutely ridiculous!! I do not deny that these rashes are real, and that for some babues casued from wearing the srymax diapers, but it does not mean that every baby will have this experience and these are awesome diapers for the people who can use them, which is a MUCH larger much much larger number than those who can not.

Do you know what contact dermatitis is? NOT A BURN! Its contact with an allergen that causes a reaction. ITS AN ALLERGY!! Not the diaper an ALLERGY your baby has! Definition pasted below for you!

The culprit is a sensitivity or allergy. Not a P&G product! If it were a P&G product it would happen to all the babies now wouldn’t it, not just yours? There are more people/babies that use these diapers compared to those that can not. I know how it is as a parent though when your child is sick, or hurt you have to blame something. But IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS IT IS STUPIDITY!! The new Cruisers work GREAT still for many of their FAITHFUL clientele. Look up how many awards these diapers have been given. Honestly, I have to stop reading all this. It makes me so incredibly angry that none of you can accept the fact that during your babies life you may come across things that they may be allergic too, maybe mildly, maybe severe. Then you learn to avoid those things. Like parents who’s kids can’t eat gluten. Do they blame the companies who make food with gluten in them, do they post horrible things about those companies, no they simply be parents and buy the right foods that do not contain gluten or whatever their child is allergic too. Strawberries can give severe deadly reactions, internally and externally leaving marks like burns, do you tell the world to stop eating strawberries because you had this reaction.. No you AVOID strawberries. Stop trying to blame the wrong thing, the wrong people, and just accept it for what it is and move on! You also do not spread the rumor not to eat strawberries because YOU are allergic. How is this any different? Other than you are all ignorant and convinced its a chemical because one mom said it looks like a chemical burn who then told another and so on. Instead of listening to the US consumer product safety commision, Health Canada, and P&G for that matter who spent millions of dollars researching and testing these diapers in clinical studies, and on real live babies! Doing these studies for many many years before putting on the market. “P&G is the culprit” that is the most ridiculous thing ever. Pampers is one of the most reputable and in my opinion heartfelt caring companies/brands. Supporting many different causes, educating parents, my g*d just look at the website it is full of information. All they care about it babies! I am Pampers loyal and a Dry Max fan and consumer, and will recommend this product to others because I UNDERSTAND not evry baby is the same. Whenever you recommend anything whether it be at a restaurant etc, Your taking a risk that the person taking the recommendation may feel differently, react differently, think differently, that is just a BIG part of life risks. And to the post below DIOXCIN is NOT in Pampers. Dioxin is removed from the diapers during the bleaching process, in fact i believe by law dioxin was removed from ALL disposable diapers many years ago. LOOK IT UP. Quit posting false information. info from: http://www.pampers.com/en_US/frequently-asked-questions
Is the pulp bleached? (pulp is the padding bulk in the diaper)

Yes, pulp is bleached to purify the cellulose in the wood so it will be
absorbent. Our suppliers use elemental chlorine-free processes that do
not result in the formation of dioxin or other pollutants from the
former pulp-making process. In fact, in the U.S. pulp industry,
elemental chlorine technologies were completely phased out by 2001 so
most, if not all, disposable diapers are made in the U.S. with pulp
bleached without elemental chlorine.

LIES!!! FALSE INFORMATION! I ADVISE TO DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! STRONGLY ADVISE!

My posts are not lies…  
This dangerous chemical formaldehyde, as well as, other dangerous chemicals are attracted to, and stored in fatty tissue. The brain is a prime big target for these destructive organics, because of its rich blood supply and very, very, high fat content.    
Therefore I will tell you this, formaldehyde causes Alzheimer’s.                                             Do you know someone that has Alzheimer’s?
Formaldehyde, which is a chemical and a disinfectant, not only causes one type of cancer, formaldehyde and also bleach cause breast cancer.                                                             Do you know someone who has breast cancer? Or do you know someone who has any type of cancer?
Formaldehyde causes respiratory problems in not only children, but adults too.                      Do you know a child, who has visited the doctor with respiratory problems?                            Do you know an adult, who has visited the doctor with respiratory problems?
Formaldehyde cause reproductive problems in men.                                                             Do you know any men that have reproductive problems?
And that’s just to name a few.
All I can say to you is good luck, because you and all other consumers, with your attitude toward my posts and toward formaldehyde and calling me, someone who you don’t even know a liar, will need it…if not for yourself you will need, good luck for someone else.
Labeling for Procter and Gamble products are done by Procter and Gamble/manufacturers.     Do you think for a second, that they will list anything that they don’t have to, as well as, other companies, too?
Oh by the way again I say,” my posts are not lies.”  My posts are all about telling the Consumers the plain truth, which is something that Procter and Gamble and the other companies’ are not good at.
Besides if you don’t believe what you have read, call and discuss my posts with Procter and Gamble. You might get the truth out of them, but on a scale, 1 being a lie and ten being the truth you will probably get the 1.
I’m sorry for you if you feel my posts are lies, but anything that will help someone family, as well as, someone friends and oneself, should not complaint about someone writing the truth about dangerous chemicals.
Therefore I ask this question.  Do you love your family, friends and yourself?  If your answer is yes than writing and posting the truth shouldn’t bother you.  Have a good weekend.
 

It happened to my 5 month old daughter. First i thought it was the wipes so I change brand. Then until my doctor told me to change her diaper. Now Im having trauma to use disposable diapers in any other brand. Her lower abdomen and between her groins was like white skin.. looks like a degree burn… I was horrified and I cant believe without realizing it… Now, Im deciding to do cloth diaper, which I think is better and safer. And also Im thinking about using cloth wipes too….

hi, i am doing a research paper on procter and gamble for my English class and you seem to know about them. Can you please tell me where did u find your information about these chemicals 1,4-dioxane and formaldehyde? Are these 2 chemicals the same? If you would like please email me at allycat2429@yahoo.com. Any information is helpful and thanks in advance.
