What do you use for skin protection?

Hiya all,

Just wondering what types of skin protection everyone uses if you going to be in a nappy / diaper for any length of time and plan on using it?

For me, baby lotion. I LOVE it. I also use baby powder, but not all the time. Id use it more but it sometimes makes me itch.

Baby lotion is just perfect. I only wet so if I change when my diaper before it gets too wet lotion gives me great skin protection. The scent is also wonderful. Lotion has such a nice feel to it when it’s rubbed in too.

I’ve tried all the other creams and oils over the years. I liked baby oil but it really tears up my rubber pants. At 20 bucks a pair now I try to get the most out of them.

In the event I do get diaper rash I turn to the tried and true white zinc cream. Sticky and messy. But effective.

I use Northshores gel called smothe and cool moisture barrier. I've love it because it works very well for diaper rash and chaffing. I also use a little baby powder.

I use Balmex adult care.

Strangely enough, none. I can be diapered for weeks 24/7 and have no issues wirh my skin. Even when I messed it takes hours before it starts to irritate and when I clean the irritation is gone.

Zinc cream but I've used small dabs of vaseline in a pinch. But I don't remain in a used diaper very long. I'm not a frequent messer but I like the feeling of a cream or paste between my cheeks and even my pussy lips.

I have been using a after market Vasoline product that I buy at my local Meijer. It works well in preventing rashes and the best part is has a baby powder like smell.

I often wear my nappies 24/7 and use baby lotion it works well for me

Normally use diaper rash cream and powder.

I use Target brand diaper rash cream. A little dab will do ya.

I use a compound from Up and Up and a cream from Desitin along with baby oil.

Just saw our doctor this morning and asked about apparent “chafing” around my wife's groin (she wears depends). Told her we were using Desitin and she said that was good. Keep an eye on it, if it looks infected or “angry” bring her in for a look/see. Just in cased if it's a fungal in something different should be used. Also recommended trying to air it out for a while every day and frequent bathing. I'm all for the more frequent jacuzzi time!!!

I know this is hard to manage but direct sunlight even if it is behind window glass. Zincofax if the sunlight is not convenient.

Baby Vaseline every day Desitin cream if a rash develops.

Aren't all of these hard on plastic pants? I have read that the oils will seep right through even the thickest diaper and over time trash all those expensive diaper pants we have all bought.

The Only time I am not diapered is for personal care at those times there is catheter in my bladder that is directly connected to an under bed drain bag . I use on doctors reccomendation ( not just one urologist ,neurologist, proctologist, gastroenterologist ,gynecologist , podiatrist ) no I don’t own a vagina but my G/F and my aide naturally have the same one ,my G/F I Have the same gastroenterologist & podiatrist (we have “spa days” where we have appointments back to back or same time ,that way we ride Paratransit alone just us and our aides ) and these guys swear by Calmoseptine for whatever ails you it calms any vaginal or rectal irritation works as barrier cream and will work in a pinch as lubricant for any kind of procedure involving insertion of urethral or rectal tube,it also Can be an “idiot light“ When applied and allowed to dry before she removes catheter and secures my diaper ,it contains menthol so when leakage occurs it really tingles . So it gives us a good time frame.

she just massaged my bladder well catheterized, so we know its as empty as possible when she removes the catheter secures the diaper and my rubbers notes time and then when I get all tingly it’s because an incontinent episode has occurred and rewet the menthol.

I always use a Vaseline based cream in the morning after my shower. When I get diaper rash, I use CVS diaper cream. Seems to work well.

I use Desitin when any redness appears, otherwise I just use baby powder. I also believe too much oil based lotions are hard on plastic pants and since I only wear cloth diapers, I have to wear plastic pants over them.

I always use Sudocreme and PUL pants as so far no protective chemicals such as Vaseline or any of the Nappy rash potions have affected the PUL pants at all, have had a couple of disposables fall apart on hot days probably due to the Sudocreme chemicals.

@eddyj anything you use in the diaper area that is or contains petroleum will pass through your diaper and strip the plastifizers out of your plastic pants , they will become brittle and crack . I use cloth at home and I don’t relish murdering pants @$70 a pair , so my sick day diapers are washed and stored seperate from my normal ones ( they are all custom angelfluff ultimate 3 ‘s ) the difference is I wear black vinyl pants with sick day diapers , that buying them in bulk at the time I think the vinyl came out like 15 per pair , significant savings and if my aide changes or a substitute takes a shift , and any old color pants is regular , black means my aide used something with petroleum when she diapered me . I also have certain distinctive onesies that are black , so if I am in all black they know to keep everything sepearate when they change me or wash the diapers and onesies , and obviously when I graduate back to not sick wear it’s after a thorough bed bath , even my sick day bed pads live separately so as not to cross contaminate . So most diaper creams are positively toxic to plastic pants from petroleum ,you have to plan how to mitigate premature wear from petroleum with different products stored separately ( and honestly even certain disposables will fall apart with petroleum I have seen the elastic gathers and standing leak guards separate from the diaper from A& D or Desitin the original desitin is some nasty stuff it will permanently stain and permanently scent cloth diapers , they have been sued and lost many times . That’s why the desitin daily defense product came about no heavy staining or fragrance to destroy your diapers.

I always shower after taking g a diaper offNd rub sudocrem well into my skin. So far all good

I use Johnsons baby lotion, sometimes I will use Zinc Oxide or Vaseline. I haven't had a diaper rash in a long time!
