Diaper chafing

[Archives1]

Hi guys,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. This last weekend has been too hot
It would great if the plastic backed briefs could also breathe and not leak. Wishful thinking I guess. I found the large pads that Northshore sells to be helpful and cooler when it gets too hot out. Rashes are no fun

of course, the heat has a lot to do with it I myself prefer plastic-backed diapers but when you think about what are you really doing when you think about it you're basically wrapping yourself in a plastic bag with the heat and sweat it can cause skin issues that is where you want to you powder and rash cream maybe evan going without a diaper if you can get away with sit or lay on chux pads and let yor diaper area breathe

I'm with you nappy man I prefer the plastic of the cloth is it holds in the odor a lot better I'm thinking maybe it's a heat down here in Georgia What's causing it cloth diapers they just sweat too much I don't like that

Are you sure it's Diaper chafe rash, not, say, fungus like jock-itch? It you can find it, try the smallest tube of Miconazole Nitrate and see what happens. Warm & wet is a terribly inviting climate. We used to use a zinc-based ointment for babies and rashes, darned if i remember the name. If you can find it, try Columbia Antiseptic Powder, another one we used for babies - better than plain Talc. Some Vets carry it. (Hey! Just be glad babies don't need a Farrier for horseshoes - too expensive.)

I use Calmoseptine ointment with each change and I'm in southern California and gets hot so I know a thing or two about getting them and preventing them.
It's easy to confuse diaper rash with yeast infections.
Remember, change as needed (don't wait), shower twice a day, shave everything down there and clean yourself thoroughly with each change and you can greatly reduce your rashes!

Have you tried some sort of underwear over the diaper? The cloth covering may help with the chafing.
