Going on 2 months now I started seeing a burn like rash on my daughters vagina. I’m a first time mom so I was highly confuse. I brought her to the doctors and they said to change the pampers brand which was pampers so I changed it and I saw it spreading even more. I switch to different ointments thinking that might be it. I change her aveeno soap thinking that can also be it. That didn’t change anything instead it looked like it was peeling even more. Then it came to my mind that the pampers “sensitive” wipes can be it so my fiancé got Huggies wipes. Two days later it started to get better. I have pictures and I can get the doctors notes.

My precious baby girl is 9 weeks old. I had been using parent’s choice wipes on occasion and the other diaper changes using a warm wash cloth. My mother bought me a case of pampers wipes. I started using them less than two days ago and my daughter has a raging allergic reaction or possibly a chemical burn . She went from having a perfectly healthy looking bottom to I’m less than 48 hours having a angry rageing red bottom and genetal area, swollen raised skin that has blisters and is bleeding. I am outraged,angry and very hurt that my infant has to go through this horrible pain. As an adult I don’t think I could handle having that horrible reaction..especially in that area! She is shaking in pain,constantly crying,can not sleep and is miserable when she is usually a very happy and content baby. I feel horrible for her and it’s breaking mine and her father’s heart. I reported this to pampers,called her pediatrician and did my own research. I believe that that preservative MCL/MI Caused her to have such a quick and severe reaction. My innocent infant should not have to go through this much ubbearable pain..especially when there are plenty of documented cases of this happening. I feel this is neglegece on pampers behalf to continue to use this chemical knowing this horrible reaction can happen to more baby’s. Also, I am watching my daughter suffer,having to pay for a cab to get to her doctors,buying creams and medications out of pocket for thier ignorance to this horrible issue. Pampers should be responsible for her/our pain and suffering and for the out of pocket expenses and time my family has put in to this issue because of their product. This is not right! Please contact me as soon as you can so i have a chance to speak up for my baby girl. Thank you.

I wish I had known about the lawsuit when it happened. My daughter ended up with MRSA in 2007 because of cruisers. It started with a rash and turned into blisters and burns that wouldn’t go away. They would pop and then ooze causing diapers to stick to her. It was horrible. I remember being in a room with four doctors who were all trying to figure out how to heal my daughter since nothing was working. I’m having baby number 4 now and have learned my lesson with Pampers.

Seems this has not yet been remedied. We typically use Cloth or Seventh Generation but in a pinch needed to get what the store had. It took half the package we bought, but my daughter has the blisters that pop and look like burn marks all over her hiney. It is extremely painful. This is 2015…several years after the original post. Wish I had known that day in the store to look for such warnings!

I am also very concerned about these pampers cruisers we have that mafe a rash so bad on my daughter that she could sleep nd she is so raw she bleeds. I went to the doctor today and they told me to keep an eye on it and gave me some nystatin with steroids to help stop intching.

Both of my daughters were allergic to the Pampers diapers! My oldest is now 6 years old and my youngest is only 5 months. I use Huggies and have no problems! Pampers gave them both a horrible rash which I found out was a chemical burn! No diaper rash cream worked to clear it up and it was rash and blistered so bad that the skin would crack and bleed! I never use scented wipes so I know for sure its the diapers. I switched to Huggies and instantly starting clearing up!!! Yes….Babies can be allergic to a diaper! I know! I can’t believe pampers still allows their products to be sold with all the complaints from parents!

My son alaways uses pampers as soon as I got the Pampers Baby Dry size 3 he got like a chemical burn!I used a percription cream and it did not help he had to just lay still for 2 days with no diaper,He is 11 months old!

i have also been using pampers brand since my daughter was born and she keeps on getting urinary track infections plus there where several times when she had rashes

I didn’t realize until yesterday what was coursing my daughter who is 17 months rashes. I thought it was heat rash but on many numerous times i have realize that even after applying the nappy cream she was still developing the rash. I am going to start using Luvs for now and see what happens.

I used pampers on both of my older girls, now ages 5 and 4. I also began using pampers with my third daughter, now age 2. When she was about 1 she mysteriously got a rash that would not go away (3 weeks). It wasn’t as bad as what others have written about, but she would bleed without the consistent use of diaper cream. I couldn’t figure it out what the cause was until I was talking with a friend who suggested that it was the dry max in the diaper. I switched to Huggies and the rash disappeared.

My son was born01-22-2011. I’ve started off using Swaddlers(newborn), which has given me no problem. After his newborn days were over I’ve been using Huggies and Luvs. I will prefer Luvs any day. I thank God Cedric Jr. has never had a diaper rash, he’s a happy baby. For those that do have rashes, I reccommend that u allow your baby’s bottom to air dry and apply vaseline throughout the day.

I can’t believe they are denying this. I have heard many complaints about these diapers. I used to love pampers. I will no longer buy. My son too broke out in a horrible diaper rash from pamper diapers.

STAY AWAY FROM PAMPERS CRUISERS. My son has never had issues with diaper rash. When we switched to this product, he developed a rash within several hours. It was painful for him and he is currently healing while we switched back to his old diapers. Shame on pampers for not taking responsibility for this and owning up to this adverse product effect.

Today I opened a new box of pampers swaddlers dry max and after my daughter peed I couldn’t believe the chemical smell of the diaper. The smell has been making me nauseous and sick. I called the company when I smelled it and asked if anyone has ever complained about a chemical smell in the diapers and they said no! Now I see these complaints, this is awful! Don’t they care about our children’s health?

PAMPERS DRY DIAPERS CAUSING RINARY TRACT INFECTION/RASH. If someone else had told me that their baby has an UTI after starting a new diaper, I would have laughed on them. But I am a physician myself and very particular about hygiene. Inspite of that my 4 month old daughter had an UTI 4 days after starting pampers dry diapers. I was taken aback after my daughter suddenly started developing high fevers and was diagnosed with UTI. Was wondering what went wrong. But continued same diapers. Today,she developed severe rash , which she never had before and it was disheartening to see her crying at the top of her voice. Then I started thinking what went wrong in past 1 week, only change we had done was buying new pampers baby dry. We noticed that it doesnt hold urine much, but then again we were thinking may be she is making more urine and changed frequently, but later realised it doesnt even hold her 1 time pee. I am trying myself as to reason out why it shud cause UTI, but unable to conclude. But nevertheless ,I am positive it has something to do with pampers baby dry diapers. Long story short- My daughter had to get IV antibiotics and we had such a stressful time at our home bcoz of this stupid product.

We’ve been using Pampers on our baby girl for the passed 7 months of her life. We preffered the Pampers to the Huggies or any other leading brand names, despite the price, because it worked so well for us. The diaper really absorbed well and contained everything. We loved it. Our baby is an easy baby and really only cries when something is wrong. About a week back my hubby bought a new pack of Pampers… Needless to say that she developed a rash. We have used 5 different creams, that worked previously for small rashes, and none of these have worked so far. For the passed 4 days since the rash developed it has just become worse. Red, inflammed blisters. The poor child can’t sleep it hurts so much. We are currently changing her diaper nearly every 2 hours, which was previously not needed. Now that i have read this.. And just the thought that it could be the diaper causing my baby so much pain? The hell with the new full pack!! I’m buying Huggies tomorrow!!!

I have never had any problems with Pampers but every other brand of diaper I have tried gave my kids diaper rash with blisters.

I used pampers swaddlers ever since my baby was a newborn they were great. However, as soon as I switched over to pampers cruisers with dry max she received the worst blistering, bleeding rash that we could not get to go away. My grandmother insisted it must be because we switched from swaddlers to cruisers we called the pediatrician who said babies were having severe reactions to papmers with dry max.We decided to switch to huggies. Although the rash has gone away her bottom is now very sensitive to anything we use on her

When my son was born I used pampers swaddler no problem, after couple of months I switch to pamper swaddlers with dry max (I continue using pamper because this was what he was using when he came out of the hospital) and my son started getting a dry rash on his whole buttock, I had an instinct that it was from the diaper but was not sure so didn’t change the brand. I consult his pediatrician and told my husband they wasn’t sure either. I continue using the brand and as he turn 1 and being able to reach behind to scratch his buttock, he scratch his dry scally buttock every chance he gets when the diaper comes off and he would scratch so hard it bleeds, his pediatrician gave creams and it didn’t work. When his bottock started getting worse the peditrician suggested cream with steriods I did not like that plan or idea so I finally decide to switch him to Huggies to rule out the pamper before using cream with steriods and within 4-5 days his dry itchy rash went away and I knew it was the pamper and I was so upset at myself for letting my son experience that terrible uncomfortable feeling for 1 year especially when I already had an instinct from the beginning. I have 2 older girls who used huggies and he was the first to use pampers I will never use pampers again.

We purchased these diapers recently for our 9 month old (he has been using Luvs since birth) we decided to give these a try since they were on sale. After a few days of using these diapers my son has a red swollen penis. I will never use these diapers again. They should be ashamed of themselves, these are babies we’re talking about!

My baby has been going through a bad rash with blisters, red, swollen and then they would bleed and scab up. I have gone to see about 6 specialists because we could not figure it out and even stopped her from her favorite foods. IT has been a true nightmaire. She was stuck 8 times for blood work also. I am a nurse in a pediatric specialists office and no one could figure it out. We has her changed every hour hour on the dot and spent alot of money and alot of time into something that should have been caught sooner.

my baby is going through the same thing blister rashes and infection she has been to the er and primary care doc for 2wls striaght im so tired of this she has sufferd to long and pampers need to do something about it now i have to go monday again because her rash havent got better yet im so stress right they need to own up to it and do a recall this is not good pampers get your weight up and own up to your mistake

They say that a mother (end user) invented this diaper. Maybe they should have left it up to the scientists. When you get down to the intention of the diaper, it holds more urine than a diaper of the same thickness. In other words, this diaper was created to get rid of the bulky diaper look. No thanks. I purchased these diapers before reading about the problems, and my son endured blisters that broke open. We have never experienced this effect with any other brand of diaper, even generic. Pull these off the market Pampers…..have a conscience.

i have 2 daughters 8yrs and 8mo i always used babydry on both but when i went to the cruiser a couple of weeks my baby had a rash within 2days i have taken her to the doc 2weeks back 2 back ive been dealing with this for 3wks no sleep just crying i have to take her back monday its not gettin better my sunflower is suffering pg have 2stepup and take responsiblity on there action because im not going dwn without a fight, and yes she have all syptoms i purchased size3 cruiser drymax

My baby is 14 months and have never had a diaper rash. We purchase the cruiser dry max a couple of weeks ago and this pass Friday, September 10 my baby started to form a light rash. As the days pass the rash have getting severe. I was tell my husband that we would call the doctor in the morning because the rash is turning into blisters and bumps. I decide to check the internet and came across the suit on pampers. I have taken picture and I still have the box with the diapers. The more wet diapers she would have the worst the rash was getting.

Our 2 month old son recently experienced a very harsh diaper rash that has a blistery, burn type look to it.The rash seemed to occur suddenly as he went for his 2 month wellness appointment on a Tuesday, and the rash was noticed that following Thursday. We switched to Huggies Natural Diapers and applied diaper rash cream as prescribed by his pediatrician and it seems to be clearing up.

My son is a year now and we have been using Pampers ever since the day he was born. No other brand would do. I loved the Swaddlers and when he grew out of those we used the regular Pampers diapers. I had never had a problem before until we moved up to the Pampers Cruisers. I have been fighting small diaper rashes here and there but this one is MAJOR!!! His whole bottom is red and swollen from his penis to his scrotum to the bottom of his butt. He screams and cries begging for mercy as I try to wipe him and apply as much diaper rash cream as I can get on him. My cousin told about these other parents who are having problems and I couldn’t believe how many other helpless parents and children there are out here. Pampers….please give us a choice to use the Cruisers without the Dry Max!!! I have switched to Huggies!!!!!

I grabbed the wrong box at the store and accidentally got the Dry Max. I could not believe how my poor baby went from pale white to a deep dark red covering most of her bottom within 24-36 hours. As soon as we tried a different diaper it started to clear up. It looks like the top layer of skin has been burned off.. we are also going to the pediatrician. I was surprised how FAST this happened. We did not change anything else. I HOPE ALL PARENTS PAY ATTENTION TO THESE CLAIMS, there is nothing worse then seeing your child in severe pain & not being able to do anything to fix it.

For the second time my son Trevor has developed a rash while using the Pampers Cruisers Stage 5 w/ Drymax. The rash is very red and spreads very quickly. Looks like he has a bad sunburn turned into a blister. Trevor a week earlier was diagnosed with a serious Staph infection which lead him to the ER where he was put on a major dose of antibiotics. The Staph became so bad that the doctors had to perform a minor surgery on Trevor to remove the infection the following day. Along with the rash came the incredible high fevers; Trevor’s body was desperately fighting the infection caused by Pampers w/ Drymax. Pampers should be ashamed of themselves for providing a product that could cause such serious injuries to young children. I will never buy Pamper products again!

Why does pampers supposedly make the “sensitive” diapers normal from nb to size 2 but then switch to dry max? I know all the drama going on about pampers and dry max, and while I am not the type to turn a mole hill into a mountain… My son used these diapers as a baby, then had to move into a larger size before they had them in a larger size, moved back into them as soon as I saw they came out. I was a fan of pampers. Then my son got a bad rash. This was BEFORE I SAW ANYTHING about drymax. I didnt have a clue what that was as a matter of fact. So I wasn’t making this up from something I heard. They I went to the website and searched for why my baby would be getting such a bad rash. While he has very sensitive skin, I always made sure he was not left in a wet diaper. He actually never had a rash before this (other than a tiny fungus patch for a few days a looong time ago). So he got this rash and I switched to huggies pure and natural. It cleared up quickly and I thought no big deal. I was so “unconcerned” I kept my new born baby girl in them. She has been wearing these till now, with no problems once. She is now 4 months old. Size 2 swaddler sensitive. Now out of the blue she is getting a rash. Didnt have an issue till now. The box does not say dry max on it at all, but there is something going on I think. These diapers are not what she has been using even though it is same box. These get really puffy when she pees in them, and the urine leaks all the time so bad. My little girl is drenched in pee and smelling like a homeless man when I wake up in the am. I have only been getting 4 hours of sleep, there is no reason my little lady should be rashy and drenched in urine after four hours. Has anybody else had this problem? Any advice? BTW… My son has been wearing pull ups by pampers and he doesnt have any problem. This is the same son that had the really bad reaction to start with. I never tried finding out if these were supposed to contain dry max as he never had a problem, so I just assumed they didnt contain it.Is this the case or is my kid’s butt just weird?

My son is 17 months old, has had this horrible diaper rash that just wont go away. Its bright red and bleeding, I am so frustrated tried every cream and ointment out there!!! Been to his DR several times and nothing seems to work, he now has scaring on his inner groin area!!! We have even tried antifungal creams, rx creams nothing helped, his dr even told me to try bleach in his bath water….geez…..and even left him without a diaper all day, each time his diaper so back on the rash worsens!!! I have always used Pampers with my girls and never had this problem before…..A diaper rash shouldnt last for four months…..this is horrible that the new dry max pampers that us causing this….I will never use pampers again!!!!

My 2 year old has been expericening these symptoms for the last 2 and half months. He would scream when I change him and does not sit on his butt due to it hurting so much . We have used several different types of creams and nothing seems to be working the sores are so bad they are bleeding. I feel for him because there is nothing I can do for him and it’s not like he can tell me. I feel he may need a skin graph due to how severe the burn and sores are. We jjust can’t figure out what is causing it and he tends to not go to the bathroom because it hurts so bad.

I am so upset by the new dry max causing rashes , I am now using huggies pure and natural diapers on my son. I will never use pampers again. They had at one point been my diaper of choice but now I would rather use generic store brands than use pampers.

I am so sorry to hear what all of you and your babies have been through. Mty baby is only a month old and suffered from some of the same thing, though not quite as severe; but it is heartbreaking when you know your baby is in pain and you can’t figure out what is causing it.

My little girl had a bad rash I took them back. I just thought she was breaking out from aloe. She use to do fine with pampers and now she doesn’t.

When my grand-daugther was born we started using Pampers Swaddlers, she developed severe diaper rash, it was as if she had gotten burned, I tool her to the doctor’s an her diagnoses was a diaper rash, had to use all kinds of creams and still that didn’t work, so I ended up washing her everyday, keeping it dry for her bottom to heal, she is now 17 mos but with scares, hopefully this will diaappear as she developes.

My son is 13 months old and almost never has diaper rash. We bought the new Pampers with Dry Max. He developed terrible blisters the size of a quarter and screamed for several days while they healed. We put the rest of the diapers in the closet and waited several weeks. We tried them again, just one or two, and he has blisters again. I have no doubt it is the Pampers with Dry Max. The rest will go in the trash. They need to be removed from the shelf!

My son is one month old and had been wearing the Pampers Swaddlers (Dry-Max) and my Fiance and I noticed that every time we changed his diaper he would scream like he was in sever pain. We then noticed that he had what appeared to be “opened” blisters in the creases of his legs and the skin was sloughing away. We immediately changed brands of diapers and the problem is clearing up. This is absolutely crazy…..if you can’t trust the products that you purchase for your children then what can you trust? There should absolutely be way more sophistocated quality check systems in place for childrens products!! Somebody has to do something about this………..

My son was born on 6/4/10 and up until Sat. 6/19 we had been using huggies diapers. We used Swaddlers with dry max Sat and Sun. Sunday Night we went to bath him and it looks like some kind of Chemical burn. We took him to the Dr. on Monday 6/21 and She said that if we hadn’t done anything different other than change diapers it must be the Diapers causing The rash. She also said that it looks like a “Chemical burn”. In addition he now has a yeast infection in the wounded area.

My son used to wear the pampers cruisers until he started getting a rash and what looked like burns. At this time, there were no allegations against pampers, so I just did the math myself and figured he was allergic to that particular brand. So, several months ago I switched to the pampers baby dry and now he has horrible chemical burns and rashes all over his bottom. It looks like someone took a cigarette lighter from a car and let it burn his butt cheek. I went out tonight to buy the Huggies organic, hypo-allergenic diapers and wipes and am praying that it heals up quickly. I will be contacting pampers with my complaint, pictures, and re-imbursement for their diapers, wipes, and all of the medication I had to buy to try and heal the burns and rash.

We started using Pampers Cruisers Drymax on our 10 month old Saturday night. Just started developing a rash Sunday morning. Today (Wednesday) she has blisters and severe rash. Just switched to huggies.

My son is 2 years old and I have been using pampers with him since he has been born.. I tried the Dry Max diapers not knowing about what was happening and 2 days after I put him in them blisters started popping up on him like a diaper rash but it looked more like a burn.. He has been in severe pain. He cant sleep on his back he cant hardly walk. I contact pampers but was told that since there was no recall. They said I should still keep using them..My concern now is if there really is a chemical that caused my sons skin reaction. I have to take my little guy to the doctor. I have never been so upset in my life until today. My little guy is in so much pain, please do something to stop them from hurting more babies.

I have used pampers since my son was born until recently. He kept getting severe rashes that would not completely heal. He is two and cried every time i had to wipe his bottom because of the soreness. I changes to luvs…although they do not hold as much, he has been rash free. I will not buy pampers again.

I’ve used Pampers since December 2005 with both of my daughters with absolutely no problems. That is until last week when I noticed a little red/white mark on my 23 month old’s thigh. I thought it was a rash and put some diaper cream on it. A couple of days later I noticed it had broken open and increased in size. The spot was only getting bigger regardless of what we put on it. It never dawned on me to think that it was the diapers since she has been wearing Pampers since she was born. Then this morning I noticed another spot forming and started to do web search and found that other kids are having similar reactions. This is awful and I hope P&G/Pampers acknowledges the problems with the product.

My son is almost a year old. We have never had any extreme rashes he has no history of skin issues. I purchase both Huggies and Pampers depending on the sales or coupons I have. Memorial Day I purchased Pampers and by Wed night my son was pink. Thursday afternoon he was bright red and so soar I had to soak him in the sink rather than wipe his soar , red , inflamed skin.

My 11 month old has what appears to be a chemical burn on her vagina and buttocks. This is no diaper rash. It is read and fleshy and it oozes puss. She too like other parents claim hates to get her diaper changed and take a bath because it is so painful to her. She is my second child and I never had a diaper rash problem with the first and she had never had one until now.

My daughter was born Feb 2010. I immediately began using Pampers Swaddlers because of the new “Dry Max” technology. within one week , she received a sore (cigarette burn like) on her butt. Within a week the sore grew to the size of a quarter. She went to the doc several times and tried several RX meds, which did nothing. She was admitted immediately into surgery to close the wound 3 times in 5 days. Now at 3 months old she grew out of the pampers we had and switched to huggies and her sore is getting better. I wish someone would have told me about this sooner.

My daughter who is five months old also broke out in a teriible rash with oozing blisters all over her after wearing pampers cruizers with drymax!!! The blisters are gone now but sadly enough she is now left with the scars from the blisters..

I have been using the Swaddler newborn pampers,& The Regular pampers with dry max,My sister changed my newborn’s bottom and noticed that she was severely red & had blisters all over her private area. Everytime she used the bathroom she would scream so badly that it would take her breath. I took her to her doctor,And they gave her medcine for her rash and blisters..That has been over a week now,She is still red.We swithched to Huggies and there will be no more Pampers used by this company..I’m really disgusted that they will continue to sell these..

I have used pampers with my oldest son from 2007 until currently with my youngest son May 2010. Over the past two weeks my son has grown a horrible rash to the point were the skin is cracking and bleeding. I have taken several pictures as the rash has gotten worse. I have just bought 2 boxes of size 3 Pampers Cruiser’s Dry Max Diapers and I am going to have alot of diapers to throw in the garbage. I love Pampers and always have but after reading all of these reviews I am going to switch. Normally you think a rash might be caused by what your child has eaten or if you leave the diaper on to long, but this type of rash is totally different. Usually the rash clears up after a few applications of diaper rash cream, Aquaphor creams is my favorite, but this rash clearly has just gotten worse. Tonight I am going to buy some Huggies and see how that turns out.
