Drybb1 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I am hoping to get input from a dermatologist regarding odor control after a night in wet cloth diapers despite an aggressive bathing process. I've tried the discussion board on this topic without success. Any thoughts on how to find a few recommendations. Thank you Link to comment
maxstevens Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 My suggestion would be to start a new thread asking that question in the discussion forums. Link to comment
Zander Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 How do you mean by "odor control"? Specifically what is smelling and what is it smelling of (i.e. skin, sexual organs, 1 Link to comment
Bettypooh Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Moving this to a more general discussion area andIncon Medical where I think there will be more good answers coming sooner Link to comment
Baby Brian Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Have you tried trimming your hair down there? What about switching out what ever kind of soap you use? You may want to go with something a little more harsher (ie, Bar soap instead of body wash, or Dial instead of Dove) Link to comment
DiapermanAl Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Are you drinking enough water? Water is very important to help urine not to be too strong smelling. Link to comment
Drybb1 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Thank you all for the initial thoughts. As Baby Brian has reviewed my post in another discussion board I first use Wet ones wipes then shower with Dial for men odor control soap followed by scrubbing with Old Spice 16 hour body wash. After completely drying off I use Tena Wash cream which was supposed to kill any residual bacteria (or so I thought). My clothes are cleaned regularly and I do not wear the same ones each week. Zander, my skin is fine no UTI's or fungal infections. I expect despite aggressive bathing the pores of my skin retain the urea leading to a noticeable odor detected by my clients on frequent occasions. A few recommendations stand out so far, modify diet, increase water consumption and hair trimming. I was hoping the support team may have known of a way to reach a dermatologist on this site that could recommend a more effective odor eliminating skin product. I will try the other discussion boards. Link to comment
DiapermanAl Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Another suggestion a shower after you get up in the morning. Link to comment
Dill_Pickle Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The Dill Pickle found out by accident that half-strength drugstore hydrogen peroxide is a good deodorant...but you will want to rinse it off or it will burn. Link to comment
kevindhca Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Having hair down there will contribute to more odor. Getting rid of the hair will make a big difference in odor control and make skin care much easier. Link to comment
diaper baby 76 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 a good barrier cream once clean before putting on a diaper will keep the urine away from your skin,and help as well Link to comment
Drybb1 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 I use J&J Baby Cream which has been effective against diaper rash. Is there a preferred barrier cream recommended? Link to comment
diaper baby 76 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'm by no means a expert,but I'd suggest something made for adults,since the ph in a adults skin I is different than a baby's ,skin its my opinion,I use a Wal-Mart equate brand sold in the incontant isle,it has a smell that is very soothing and seems to be more noticeable when wet,good luck Link to comment
