    What cream to use with cloth nappies?

    I'm finally feeling as if I'm organised for this bub now except for the life of me I can't remember what nappy cream I used for the girls with cloth. Would love some suggestions. Thanks ladies.

    Aromababy do a tiny little jar of barrier cream that I love. Easy to carry around in the nappy bag and whip out any old time.

    Non-petroleum papaw ointment is also good.

    What cream to use with cloth nappies?

    The moogoo nappy cream has petroleum in it so will eventually block the mcn

    I use non-petroleum paw paw...but also have a Nature's Child bottom balm that I've used a couple of times and liked. I use liners in my MCNs

    Thanks lovely ladies. Will check out the pawpaw cream - I've got one I use for my lips but its a bit gooey so maybe its got petroleum in it?? Will have to check.

    With the Aromababy products do you use the barrier cream or the nappy change cream? The whole range of products looks beautiful. Sigh. Internet shopping gets me into a LOT of trouble with my DH!!

    I use Palmers Bottom Butter. You can normally get it at priceline and it is cheap as and lasts ages.

    I have a related question - if I use flushable liners do I need to worry about which cream to use or would the nappy be protected from a barrier cream by the liner?

    I found that there was still cream that got onto the nappy, but maybe that was the particular liners I was using?

    Another liner question (thanks Ladylove!!) - is it worth using them if you can't use the flushable ones (we're on septics so can't flush)? We've moved since the girls were in nappies so haven't had this issue in the past.

    I've tried all sorts of non-petroleum paw paw ointments in the past and actually I've found the Lucas to be the best by far in terms of calming and healing skin so I use this despite the petroleum base as I suspect it has a higher or more concentrated paw paw base than some others. But I use liners anyway and am not fazed by petroleum.

    we use paw paw, but use a liner, or have nappy free time after applying.
