Best Diaper-rash Prevention/treatment Products

[RobJ]

I was wondering what products people like to use when diapered to help prevent diaper rash, stay dry and comfortable, etc. Things like diaper powder, diaper cream, baby oil, that sort of stuff.

I've traditionally just used Desitin, just because I like the smell. I just slather a whole lot on there, like so my skin is pure white, just as much for practical reasons as because I like the feeling and experience. But I'm experiment with powder, too. Does Desitin + powder help more than just Desitin alone? And is powder enough by itself except when I break out in a rash? What about baby oil, does that take the place of either?

Obviously I don't remember how my parents diapered me, and don't have kids of my own, so the whole diapering ritual is a little unfamiliar. I'd love to know others tips and tricks (I mean, I know, put the diaper on, use it, change before it leaks, but other things like the best way to prevent diaper rash.)

Another product not mentioned there is Proshield - which is silicon based. It is used pretty extensively in the hospital I work in, and is also recommended by wound care nurses that I know.
