| The pampers swaddlers sensitive size N to 2 do NOT have the dry max technology, we will be using these for DD due in a few weeks (found other newborn diapers too likely to blowout). We switched to huggies for our toddler after the change (more because the new pampers leaked like crazy than any issue with diaper rash). |

What? Good God no, I'm not swishing poopy diapers in the toilet. I have a little sprayer, I spray them off them into a laundry bag. Takes just a minute. I never have to run to the store for diapers and I never run out. (I guess, if we have to play this game, here's where I'm to required say I spend that time WITH MY KIDS.) My daycare accepted cloth diapers without blinking. I don't personally care what system people use, but let's try not to be silly. And before you ask, I opened this thread because we used to use Pampers. I'm interested to see more about this recall. And despite my own decision to switch to cloth, I do believe all babies deserve safe diapers. |

| DH hates 7th Generation and claims they aren't as good - can anyone recommend an alternative "less chemical" brand? Not interested in cloth diapers - fine for those who use them but I don't think the health or environmental benefits are worth it to MY FAMILY and I choose to limit our carbon footprint and avoid chemicals in other ways. Thanks! |

| I know we're talking about pampers and trying to leave the topic of cloth diapers, but let me correct the misconception here. Cloth diapers ARE NOT more eco-friendly than disposables. Do the research. The extra toilet flushing, the extra laundry cycles for cloth...Well documented studies are out there proving that they are not more environmentally friendly. So if anyone feels guilty about using disposables because of the environment--you have no reason to feel guilty. Everyone is entitled to their own choice, but I'm frustrated by the poster(s) who seem to think they are somehow saving the environment by using cloth. |

I have. And I'm aware too of the effects disposables have on landfills. You pick your poison. |

The chemicals alone horrify me. One of the PPs says she just sprays her diapers and puts them in a laundry bag to launder. I guess she puts diapers with feces right into her washing machine? Think of all that feces in that washing machine! Washing machines do not sterilize clothes, and neither do laundry detergents. The only way to clean out the mess would be to use lots of bleach . . . horrible horrible horrible for the environment! |

for all those grossed out by swishing a cloth diaper in the toilet - what do you do with the poop in a disposable.
Poop is suppose to go into the sewer system - not the trash / landfill. |

Yes, you do guess. Now you're just being melodramatic. So if your baby blows out of a disposable, you throw her whole outfit away? Or, as you describe, do you bleach the hell out of the everything? |

The 3-4 times I've had one of my infants blow out a diaper, I rinsed off the outfit as best I could, put it in the washing machine, washed it for several cycles, and then when I was done I ran an empty cycle with lots of bleach. I can't imagine doing this every day for every single poopy diaper (and with two kids, that is lots of poopy diapers every day!). I'd have to hire help just to do the laundry! Some times I've just had to throw the outfits away, because the stain from the poop wouldn't come out. I can only imagine what reusable diapers start to look like after multiple uses! And to the PP who asked what we do with disposable diapers with poop in them . . . yeah. You wrap them up and throw them in a diaper jeannie. Are you honestly saying it is more "natural" to have poop in the human drinking system than it is to have it out in nature? Ever hear of fertilizer??? What do you think 99.9% of all mammals do with their poop, flush it down the toilet?? |

You might be better off just tossing the outfit. |

I have on a few occasions, especially because some of the time the stain from the poop never comes out. |

I sent a complaint to Pampers earlier today and this is what I got back:
**************************************************************** Thank you for contacting us regarding your experience with Pampers. I’m very sorry you had this experience. I’m sure it was upsetting and we certainly share your concern about the irritation your baby had while wearing our diapers. We hope your baby is feeling better. Many of us on the Pampers team are parents, and we share your deep commitment to the health and safety of babies. We want to understand any negative experiences about our products as thoroughly as we can. In order to gather additional information to better understand your experience, we ask that you reply to this email and include your full name, postal mailing address including zip code and phone number. Once we receive this information a member of our Health and Safety Team will be following up with you via postal mail. Our goal is to understand more about your unique experience, your baby, and the products you typically use on your baby. Once you receive our mailing, we would greatly appreciate a few additional minutes of your time to complete the information requested. Please hold on to the package and any remaining product for two weeks in the event our Health and Safety Team needs to retrieve them. Again, on behalf of Pampers I want to apologize for the experience you had, but I also want to assure you Pampers with Dry Max is one of the most mom-and-baby tested diapers in our history. Before the launch of any new product, it is extensively tested to ensure we have a broad understanding of what moms will experience. In addition, we sample products regularly throughout the manufacturing process to ensure our quality standards are met at every step of production. However, at Pampers, we also know every baby is unique and a baby’s skin can be especially delicate. Therefore, we greatly appreciate your taking the time to contact us so we can continue to gather data on as many babies as possible. We are closely monitoring and reporting all comments we receive and take each comment seriously. If interested, there is more information about Dry Max posted on Pampers.com. There is both a video from Kerri Hailey and an FAQ link. Kerri not only helped create Dry Max, she did it while her youngest was in diapers so she saw the product in action at work, and at home. To view these, click on the link below: http://www.pampers.com/en_US/Vote-Cruisers-DryMax. In addition to our request for more information, after we receive your name and address, I’ll also separately send you Pampers coupons which can be used on Swaddlers, Cruisers, Extra Protection, or Baby Dry versions. I hope you’ll consider giving Pampers another try. Please allow 2-3 weeks for delivery. Thanks again for writing. Michaela Q Pampers Team |

in lieu of all the soap and water that you are using to get the stain out, you can wash it one time as you normally would and then put it out in the sun while it is still wet. this bleaches out the stain in a chemical free way. it is what cloth diapering moms do to get the poop stains out
