It worked well! I also used Desitin and Diaparene!
Old-fashioned sopping wet ammonia cloth diapers under rubber pants did my kids bottoms no favours, especially the rubber pants. Aside from diaper rash, my kids used to get elastic-gather rash from the elastics of the rubber pants, especially when they got older and were wearing extra-bulky diapers. Those chaffing elastics pulling, pinching and binding around the legs. "Rubber pants rash" is what I called it.
Knowing you used rubber pants, too, Jacqueline, did your little ones get much in the way of diaper rash/elastic-gather rash? Remember the red elastic rings the rubber pants made around the tops of baby's legs?
