They may have not changed their ingredients, but Pampers has admitted to removing certain liners, exposing bare skin to harsh chemicals that they were not previously exposed to.

My daughter had a significant burn from the new Dry Max. We had used them her whole life (she’s 2) and suddenly she developed a horrible burn after Pampers switched their Cruisers. I know the difference between a “diaper rash” as Jodi Allen and her cohorts call this, and a burn. I am a medical provider myself and this is NOT an “ordinary diaper rash”. Pampers should be ashamed of themselves. I told my mom that it looked like someone used a vegetable peeler on my daughter, and then that blistered. It was HORRIFIC and I 100% link it to these new diapers. Within 24 hours of being in Huggies, her blisters were healing. 5 days later, a pink area remains. It may or may not scar. My nephew was also burned by these diapers. If Pampers would like to call his case “diaper rash”, then explain to me how he got a “diaper rash” over his hip area? It was the first problem in his life and he is 2.5 years old. He has a scar from it.

It is so upsetting that Pampers cannot just accept this reality and acknowledge the THOUSANDS of parents who know their children better than the insulting people representing Pampers—Jodi Allen, Dr. Kimberley Thompson, and Mr. McLeary. Dr. Kimberley Thompson was quoted as referring to this situation as “an urban legend”. Give me a break, Pampers. We are smart, educated mothers who know the difference between a diaper rash and something more ominous.

I work for a very large and well-known healthcare system. I have been advocating against Pampers amongst fellow providers, and it’s not surprising that other providers have also had patients/children/relatives who have had issues with these diapers. They are slowly but surely beginning to advise changing brands of diapers—as they should be. No child should have to suffer through this.

I have forever lost faith in Pampers. They care more about saving money than they do about the wellbeing of our children.

Nothing is worth seeing your child scream in excruciating pain and begging “noooo mommy…pwease?” over a diaper change. That is just heartbreaking and I am disgusted that this company can’t recognize a serious situation as such.

We’ve been pretty faithful to Pampers since our son was born nine months ago, with only occasional forays into other brands to check them out. Pampers has been, until recently, the very best. Our son has long slept 10+ hours, and only rarely woke up because his diaper was uncomfortably wet. However, since the switch, we have to get up and change him after a max of five hours, lest we find that he has wet through the diaper and his pj’s AGAIN. The new ones are just as good, or even better? Tell that to my rediscovered (and not welcome) sleepless self.

No new dyes? The inner liner of the Dry Max Cruisers are purple, when the old cruisers were white. Even if the materials are the same, since they have removed all paper fluff the baby’s skin may be coming into contact with some chemical it didn’t before, and some babies might be sensitive to that. Pampers’ perfumes give me migraines so I don’t use them regularly anyhow, but I did try the three diaper sample of Dry Max. I liked them, we had no leaks (and used one overnight) and no rash and if they didn’t have perfumes I might buy them, so I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I’m interested to see how it plays out.

Ahhh @ Mommy1, I just read in your comment that they took away a layer. That makes sense now. Still not gonna buy Pampers even though my daughter hasn’t had a problem.

We used Pampers Swaddlers on my son for two months. He developed the worst diaper rash I have every seen; blisters and open, bleeding sores! I tried everything to heal it, including prescription diaper cream, nothing worked. It broke my heart to hear him cry every time he wet his diaper, because it stung the sores. I finally switched him to a chlorine-free brand of diapers, and haven’t looked back since. My son hasn’t had even a hint of diaper rash since we made the switch. It stands to reason that diapers containing chlorine would cause problems; everyone knows that mixing bleach (chlorine) and ammonia (urine) creates a toxic chemical (ammonium chloride, it’s deadly!)… So, I am a loyal user of Seventh Generation Chlorine Free diapers AND wipes. I’ll never use regular diapers on my son again!
