didn't post the fiest time, hope this one works

there are PETROCHEMICAL based nappy rash creams
very thick, don't rub in totally, often called barrier creams
they are the ones that interfere with mcns functioning well
cheat's way to get around this, is to place a liner in the nappy, so the liner cops the cream, not your mcn.
the red tub - Lucas paw paw salve fits into this catergory btw.
there are NON-PETROCHEMICAL based nappy rash creams
they rub into the skin easily
they do not interfere with mcn functioning
liner is optional
the black tube - Lucas
the yellow tube - Simmons (online you can get it at ecobabe)
paw paw salves fit into this category.
i try the non-petrochemical ones first, at the first sign of redness. we only use the "heavy artillery" (the petrochemical based ones) if NOTHING else works.
wotbb: KK AIO (in a nightie in her big girl bed, she took off her sleeping bag tonight).
mummytummy, you were after some sort of AIO reccy's - now i forget what your criteria were - oops.
Queen - ouch about the suedecloth reaction. We have a few nappies that i can't bear to retire, despite the inners causing bilbs grief, so my solution (and it's worked in our case) is to use those nappies sparingly, and lie inside them a natural fibre liner. so the tradeoff is:
CONS: you don't use them as much, you lose the stay dry effect
PROS: you can use them still
RHYB: sorry to hear about your car blowing up.
you CAN get your rego refund. i paid an annual one, then was in a coma for months, then rehab, and got all the rego refunded (backdated to the start of the medical situation). Hmm, it might be a state by state thingy, so i hope i haven't got your hopes up, based on what i expereinced i nmy stgate. definately worth trying though.
WARDYGIRL - your stash is looking mighty fine! your postie must lurve you, right about now!! LOL.
Anyone heard from Saram lately? i hope she is ok after all that heavy rain in Townsville. do you know Ali?
Nana - Love your description of your "Resident Cleaner"!!
