Allergic reaction to diapers?

Anyone ever heard of getting diaper rash from a certain brand or style of diaper? Since wearing these walgreens brand (instead of depends because theyre half the price),I have developed quite the rashes deep in my groin. To keep it somewhat under control been using the gold colored A&D both morning and nite(no diapers during the daytime). Any ideas?

You might be allergic to what the backing is made of. Usually it is an allergy to latex.

😁 😁 😁 😁 this might be a little bit of a hassle.try using a thin cloth diaper inside your disposable. 😁 😁 😁 😁

My brothers kids can only take Huggies while the any other brand will make them break out in rashes. So I would stick with a brand that you know break out from and get some diaper rash med's for yourself.

You may have to apply Dseiten diaper rash ointmentm or another zinc ointment for your rash. Bieng a 24/7 cloth diaper user and wetter I do get painful diaper rashes from time to time and use zinc oinments and they do the trick after a day or two.

How often do you change yourself? Is it simply just wearing them or maybe staying in a wet diaper?

Just wearing them to sleep in. I think its a combination of being in a wet diaper most of the night(not sure for how long), then working and sweating all day at work. I have been trying the gold A&D at night and during the day hydrocortisone creme. Seems to at least help with the itch.

A&d is really good... good luck

In the UK Boots is a pharmacy chain and on a couple of occasions I tried their own brand pull-ups. They were cheaper and more widely available than Tena which I now use.

Every time they caused an extensive rash. Not just a couple of sore spots but a solid band wherever the padding touched. It too several days for this to clear up and I dumped the rest of the packet.

If you buy cheap you need to change more often !!! this is why they are cheap diapers they do not gell like the good brands do and keep mositure next to your skin making rash wuick and painfull. stick to a better diaper and be happier dry feeling , better then saving money only to buy rash ointment with the money you saved LOL!!! defeats the purpose of being cheap LOL

Wearing depends again and no more rash, however still loading up on the gold a&d front and back now. Very cool since I talked my wife into putting it on me, you know since she is doing the diapering anyway.
