Nappy rash cream & MCNs - help!

[MrsScatterbrain]

Hi everyone,

I've been lining DS's nappies today with polyester liners to protect them from a heavy, zinc based nappy rash cream.

If I wash the liners with the rest of the nappies, would the cream residue will go throughout the rest of the nappies and damage them? :confused:

Also, some of the cream also still managed to get through the liners onto the microfleece - is there any way of getting it out, or is the nappy wrecked? :o

Heeeeelp!

Many thanks!

They should be fine to wash all together. If you're worried do a strip wash:
Wash in very very hot water and a little bit of plain (non-moisturising) dishwashing liquid (although don't do this if you have a front loader, and double check your nappies can be washed in hot water).

I use pawpaw ointment on Phoenix, and it gets on his nappies, but I've never had a problem with it coming out! I just do a warm wash and it's gone!

Perhaps the zinc cream is a little too heavy, if you're worried pawpaw is a good alternative and should come out of your nappies pretty easily.

But I'd try a strip wash for now too :yes:

Pawpaw is more water soluable than zinc cream, which is why it would come out more easily:)

Curash powder is even more water soluble!! :yes:
I power-squirt greasy liners with the little squirt after using Daktozin.. doesn't help much though. To be honest, I use disposable liners when I need to use cream :o
I should get some flushable ones! Just for rashy days :yes:

Thanks for your advice :) - I think I might hunt around for a different nappy cream - this one is hanging around for good on my favourite cow print Happy Heiny! (Despite the liner!)

Totally agree! Curash powder has done us wonders. Can't recommend it enough.
