I normally don’t pay much heed to Facebook campaigns like this, but when I heard about this one on the Wall Street Journal This Morning podcast today, I took notice.

I’ve always used Pampers Cruisers (and Swaddlers) on my kids, the younger of whom is 22 months old. When Pampers switched to the new Dry Max style, we saw some negative reviews for it on Amazon (we use Subscribe & Save to buy them), but they mostly complained about their performance, capacity, etc. (I’m trying to keep this as delicate as possible.)

But soon after starting Sasha on the new diapers, she developed a nasty rash all down her, um, crack that for a little while had a few open sores. For over a week she was in so much pain that she screamed during her bath. I didn’t put two and two together until I heard this report and saw the Facebook page. After all, she had diaper rashes with the old style, so I never assumed it was the diaper causing it.  But the timing, and the fact that she hasn’t had a diaper rash in a long time, made me consider that there really was a connection.

Her rash has gotten a bit better, even though we’re still using the Dry Max. We are going to encourage her to use the potty more (something we’ve gotten away from in all the craziness of moving to a new house), and we’re going to try Huggies for awhile and see if that helps with the rash.

I don’t want to jump on the “Recall Pampers Now!” bandwagon, but I do want to take reasonable precautions to make sure my daughter is happy, healthy, and not in constant pain from diaper rash.
