Replying to @Cenzi Glanzer Choosing the right cloth diaper safe diaper cream is important in order to maintain the effectiveness of the reusable diapers. Cloth diaper safe diaper cream does not contain zinc oxide or petroleum. Avoiding these ingredients is essential to prevent staining and absorbency issues in your modern reusable diapers. Why Petroleum-Based Diaper Creams Are Not Cloth Diaper Safe Petroleum-based diaper creams can lead to absorbency issues and repelling when used on textiles. Synthetic fibers, such as microfiber, are particularly prone to build up based absorbency issues. Petroleum is oil based and can cause build-up that affect the diapers' ability to absorb moisture. However, Petroleum Based diaper creams can be used with natural fibers like cotton, bamboo, and hemp, as they will wash out in a good wash routine that uses hot water. However, at Kinder, we recommend choosing one of the petroleum free options listed above to avoid any preventable diaper cream build up in your cloth diapers. Using a Disposable Diaper Liner as a Barrier To prevent the transfer of diaper cream onto the cloth diaper, some families like to use disposable or reusable diaper liners. Liners can be used as a barrier between the diaper and the ointment. This can help minimize the risk of staining from Zinc Oxide as well as reduce the likelihood of the cream affecting the absorbency of the diaper. When selecting a diaper cream for cloth diapers, it's important to opt for products that do not contain zinc oxide or petroleum to prevent staining and absorbency issues. By choosing cloth diaper safe creams and using a disposable or reusable liner as a barrier, parents can ensure the longevity and effectiveness of their cloth diapering routine. #diaperrash #diapercream #clothdiapersafe #clothdiapering #clothdiapermama #makeclothmainstream #earthmama #babyproducts
