Cloth Diapering

dry max, is it ok?

I plan to use pampers diapers initially. I may end up cloth diapering but want to start out with disposables at first till I get the hang of things. I have heard some people say the "dry max" makes their babies break out in a rash or get sore. I have had a hard time finding many of the Pampers swaddlers or any size for that matter that don't have the dry max.

Has any one had problems with the dry max or baby dry versions compared to Pampers without?

Thanks

  • I normally get the newborn and size 1 Pampers Swaddlers Senstive diapers that do not have Dry Max on the package, and I get them at Target.

  • I have been using the Cruisers with drymax since they became available and DD has had no problems with them.  All the other diapers we've tried irritate DD or she pees through them, like all other disposables you'll love them or hate them.

  • You could try a different brand...I like 7th generation.
  • We use Dry Max and we've had no issues.
  • Wink we found cloth wasn't any harder then sposies...velcro off...wipe butt...velcro on. And instead of running to the store to buy another pack, you're just throwing a load in the wash...so same time commitment there too.

    And a bonus...no chemicals next to baby's reproductive organs, dry max or otherwise.

  • I have no problem with them. For me Huggies leak big time, not sure why. So I love Pampers with dry max, so much better.
  • CDs really aren't hard, but I started in disposables as well because I got OS CDs that LO wouldn't fit in at birth. Now we only part time CD but I wanna build up my stash and go full time.

    Now to the question: we have no prob with drymax and pampers are the only disposable diaper we don't have blowouts with. You should get a pack and try 'em, but there is no telling what will work best for your LO.

  • DS got chemical burns from these diapers. Not a rash, but actual burns.  He does great with the baby dry though.  Huggies are horrid and leak everytime!

  • I've used it with my son with no problems. I am using the Cruisers now with the Target brand diapers for nights. They hold up well, but between the Target diapers and the heat he's had a couple of diaper rashes lately.

    Remember, there's many brands of diapers, you don't have to go Huggies or Pampers!

  • even though we CD, I sometimes use Baby Dry (does not have Dry Max) at night. No issues with rash or burns. They dont feel as nice as the swaddlers, though-- we used those initially when DD was younger. But they didnt have Dry Max at the time.
