Whats the best rash cream?

Grandma els is a great CD safe cream but if it's a really bad rash I just use desitin with a liner.

That depends on the cause of the rash.  It also depends on the fibers in the diapers.  

My son hasn't needed much for rash creams in cloth diapers but I got the feeling that he'd need a layer of something at every change if I had him in sposies. The last time he had a stomach bug I used A&D with cotton flats and it washed right out without even a trace of odor from the A&D.  When he's gotten sores from acidic poop, lanolin healed them quickly.  Other than that, ds hasn't had diaper rash.

We cloth diapered 4 kids from day 1 and have tried a bunch. We really like the stick versions. CJs Butter was the only one we ordered again and again. I think you can find it on Amazon.

Essential oils.  They work faster and are cloth safe.  I use lavender, melaleuca, and sandalwood in fractionated coconut oil.

We usually just use coconut oil. We also like Honest Baby balm, and our preference is CJ's BUTTer if we have it on hand. Mmmm monkey farts and narwhals.

We typically use coconut oil and have yet to have a real rash. When I start to see a little redness I apply a little California Baby cream (with a disposable liner) and it clears up immediately. DH often just puts it on without the liner and we haven't had any issues with absorbency. California Baby is *supposed* to be cloth safe; it just makes me nervous!

Butt paste, green tube, if the rash gets bad. Otherwise grandma Els or coconut oil on slight redness.
