That Time Of Year Again

[babytommy1981]

Well we all dread it but it's what I call diaper/ heat rash season again. Wash up good in your area, and dry off good, apply rash creams, use breathable diapers. Hope everyone stays rash free this summer.

Living in AZ, I've already got some pretty bad heat rash, and its only been about 100 every day. Wait til June and July! I usually dress down to the bare essentials in the evening to help circumvent this.

I've bought mine OTC since my Adventure began in August '02. Back when Store-brand Belteds were available in "Regular" (36/pkg) I had no heat-rash issues with those. But stores that offered them (all from the same maker) also sold "Extra-Absorbency" (30/pkg) for the same price. Combine that incentive & the ASSumption the OTC-Adult-Diaper buyer was not likely to make a public issue--& "Regulars" became hard to find--then gone entirely. The "Extra-Absorbency" Belteds were NOT 20% better in any way, save perhaps 20% more thermal efficiency, covering the last place on my body that needed the 'help.' Whether by accident or design, this added perspiration made an otherwise-dry Diaper bulk-up & clump-up faster--so 30 of them didn't last HALF as long as 36 Regulars had lasted. And no matter how well I cleaned myself--HEAT RASH to the point of feeling as if I'd a bad sunburn between my buns!

My solutions:{1} Cortizone-10™ (or generic 'maximum-strength' Cortizone) *CREME* not Ointment, applied between my cheeks after cleaning myself religiously; {2} pulling any style of Diaper I wear--UP in FRONT to hold its pad DOWN in BACK, for better ventilation there. This has worked well for me, even with heavy "Training-Pants" Adult-DIAPERS I wore while driving with a Foley installed (last 10 days or so of a 2016 Road-trip mentioned elsewhere.

The now-extinct, store-brand "Regular-Absorbency" Belted offered a tactile "invisibility." Everything since has presented a tactile "loudness" that prompts me to spell them all "Adult-DIAPER." More than that belongs in a different thread.
