I have been using Pampers since my daughter was born, and I have never complained this has happened to me so many times that I have changed my daughter and the sticker part always rips off. So I just bin it, because it won't hold the Pampers on her. My daughter is 26 months. I still get Pampers for her, as she isn't potty-trained yet. Please, can you tell me why are they so sensitive? Many thanks.
Consumer Complaints & Reviews


My daughter's nappies (Pampers Baby Dry, size 5) split at the seam today without me realizing. And before anyone says she was not soaking wet, these gel-type balls were everywhere all over her. I had to ring NHS Direct as I didn't know if she had consumed any! I am extremely disappointed and cross about this. I think there may be a manufacturing problem as I have researched on the net and have seen a lot of people have the same problem and have complained. I would like some compensation of some form for all the stress and worry of this incident!

I purchased two large boxes of 234 Pampers Swaddlers for my son. After multiple uses of diapers from the first bag, I noticed a horribly strong chemical smell after he urinated in them. It was so repulsive it made me sick to my stomach. I can only imagine how it made my baby feel. Also, a number of the diapers' yellow tabs would rip right off when I tried to put the diaper on my son. I ended up throwing away the whole second bag after I noticed the smell again on the very first diaper I tried from it.
I opened the second box of diapers, hoping they would be normal, but again on the very first diaper I put on him, that disgusting chemical smell appeared. I haven't used them since, and am out nearly $70 and 350 diapers! I just hope nothing happened physically to my son after inhaling those smells for the past two weeks.

Because your Pampers are so leaky, my son had to be changed every hour, precise. I had to use another brand for over-nights. He developed a severe rash either from the product itself or because the moisture lingering around, irritated his skin.

With nearly half of the first pack, when my girl urinated only once, the nappy tore open and the gel fell all over the place. With the second pack, I found 15 nappies which elastic sticky strips tore off while my girl was wearing the nappy and then they fell off. With the third pack, which I just opened on the 9th of April, I already found 6 nappies with only 1 sticky strip when I take it out of the pack. Pampers are very expensive, and I cannot afford to throw away nappies that I can't use. I am very angry and disappointed at Pampers. It feels like they are wasting my money.

I have been using Pampers Active for the past 11 months. My first incident started when my son was 7 months. I have just changed him when he urinated through the diaper. Now at 11 months, my son is urinating his whole clothing wet and it is costing me to change his whole clothing.

Last year, maybe October, I had sent you a letter that the wipes I opened were dried out and I gave you all of the information. I was told I would receive a coupon for the problem but never have. I am wondering if you sent it. Did you send it to this address? Did it come back? My daughter-in-law lives in Madison, WI and her name is Anne **; the post office often changes our mail, although she never received the promised coupon either. I had purchased what I believe was a box that held six packs inside and was the hypoallergenic kind. I use them due to severe diabetes and need something without alcohol and all the additives. I was very happy with your product that I purchased later, but I believe I should get the coupon you promised. Could you look into it and let me know, please? Thank you so much for your help. I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend.

I used Pampers with my eldest, and now, with the second, the difference is that I'm using Sleep & Play Pampers, not Active like with eldest daughter. The reason is it costs less and every penny counts. The problem is that about 6-8 of these packs were unsatisfactory. I had a few packs where the inside lining of nappy feels like pieces of grit or glass pieces in the lining, I obviously chucked that. Now, this pack and a few others before it have the crystals popping out and that after having it on for 1 hour. It also cannot hold #2 a lot of times. Pampers is not cheap, but to discard so many, adds up in the end. This is happening for plus or minus 10 months now. Please respond, thank you.
I am a Muslim and have been using Premium Care Pampers for my baby girl. It was really disappointing for me when my wife pointed out picture of pigs on Premium Care Pampers. When manufacturing these consumer goods, the manufacturer should care for the likes and dislikes of their target customers and never make such things that can hurt their feelings. It is really disturbing for us and we are looking for another brand and surely will convey the message in our society to never use Premium Pampers because they have pig pictures on them. Above all, it was a shock to us that these Pampers are being manufactured in Saudi Arabia. I will also launch a complaint to His Highness Saudi Consular General in my city.
I used to use Pampers which is manufactured in Saudi Arabia for my 1st girl as I lived in Yemen. It was good for her. But I noticed and asked my self about why Pampers which is manufactured in Egypt was so bad, and I also discovered that which is manufactured in Morocco is also not good and also makes much rash for babies.
But forget it and be silent. But when I get my other baby and when I began to use another brand, she was sensitive to it. I used Saudi Pampers. Also, she got a bad rash as she burned from the nappy. After sometime, doctors told me it's better to use a cotton cloth with her or if you can afford it, get Pampers made in USA or Britain. And I bought it so expensive here in Egypt.
My question here is: It is supposed to be one brand called Pampers, and it has many branches all over the world and it's for all babies. So why does it differ in quality and price? Are the babies in USA better than here or what? It's so important to know it. I saw the difference in my girl. And also Pampers there in USA and Britain is also cheap, as it's not that cheap here. Please answer me.

I bought a pack of these nappies in November 2011 and half of the tabs tore when I was putting them on. I complained to Proctor and Gamble, who told me to give them the batch number and to send 5 nappies to them for testing. I sent them the remaining 2 whole nappies that I had and 3 of the nappies that had torn in mid-December 2011, but have had no feedback from them. Every time I contact them, I got told that they will revert. To date, they have not even offered to replace the defective pack. Their customer service is shocking. I have never been treated with such absolute disrespect by a company and will not be using their product any longer.

There are many diapers of the wrong size. More than half of them have no stickers to stick. I had bought number four and they gave me number 3. Can you please contact me?

I used Pampers with both my kids who are now adults. My daughter gave birth to my first grandchild and I told her not to use anything but Pampers, as they are the best. But on using these for a week or so now, I have definitely changed my mind. My grandson gets his nappy changed every 2 to 3 hours and every time with your nappies, he is wet through, his bottom is damp and his clothes are also wet. I have decided to stop using these nappies and go for another brand but cannot say strongly enough how disappointed I am regarding this, as my daughter is looking to me for advice from her mother and I feel that my opinion will not be considered any good now.

I am using Pampers since my boy was born, and I never had any problems until 2 days ago, when my little boy was wearing Activ Fit. The little crystals spilled out of the nappy, and my boy's mouth was full of them. I was scared to death and didn't know what to do. I didn't know what could have happened to him. I shall not be using this Pampers again. I am hoping for a quick response. Thank you.

I had bought Pampers for my baby this time. The right side of the diaper is getting torn every time and this is not just for one of the diapers, but all the diapers are apparently the same. I feel cheated since I had paid more than any other diapers that I buy for my little one. Also, the standard of the diaper is so bad that the feel itself is not good. When the company charges more, consumers would definitely expect a little more. However, the same is not even up to the mark. I need the reason and the action to be taken for the same.
On 2 different times, I have changed my baby and his next use it's coming out the Pampers. The first time I thought I have done something wrong, but when it happened a second time I know it wasn't my fault because I made sure I checked that everything was right. Since I have 3 other kids, I know how to change a diaper. I'm thinking I got a bad batch.

I have purchased Pampers from the beginning with my twin sons. The last batch of midi nappies I bought, the gel has been coming out of the nappies and I have purchased a large quantity of nappies. I am not happy and would hate to have to change the brand due to 2 defective packs. I can continue if the quality is not up to scratch.

We bought a pack of Pampers Cruisers (3 way fit, size 5). There are 23 diapers in the package. Only 4 of the diapers worked the way they are supposed to. The problem with the other 19 diapers is that the sticky tabs that keep the diaper together broke off when trying to put the diaper on. We use Pampers 90% of the time and issues like this sway me to want to switch brands. I realize that issues happen, but diapers are not a cheap thing to buy. Then, to not be able to use them angers me. I hope that you will take this complaint seriously and work to rectify the problem with me. You can call me if you like.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to be complaining to, but I purchased Pampers Nappies size four last week! I took my 10 month old baby into town. He had his nappy on for at least an hour and twenty minutes and got him out off his pram and a load of crystals came out off his pants and it was all over his pram. It was that bad I had to go and buy him a new pair of jeans! It's happened with about 12 other nappies. I'm disgusted with this matter! I would be grateful if you could take this matter into consideration please.

I have always bought Pampers because it helps with the rash. About a week ago, I bought a box of Pampers. It was on a fully sealed box with packages inside. When I opened one of them, all of a sudden, I see ants coming out. It was a mountain of ants. I threw them out thinking that there was a hole or something. When I finally decided to open the second package, the ants started coming out. I have pictures to prove it. I complained to Walmart where I originally purchased it. They told me to call Pampers. Now, the company seems to be bouncing me around from person to person. I can't find a solution. My daughter is allergic to insects.

Upon putting the diaper on the baby, it fit great, but when the baby had a bowel movement, the diaper did not hold the bowel movement. The diaper just fell apart. Well, we thought it was just that diaper, nope, a second one was alright, but the third one did the same, as well as the fourth one. We didn't use any more in case it would harm the baby. I am not happy with this bag we bought, we always use pampers and diapers aren't cheep. Thanks for your concern on this matter.

12-hour diaper. I bought the 12-hour nighttime diapers, and they didn't work. I had to get up in the middle of the night and change my 10-month-old's diaper after him having it on only after 3 hours. I bought 2 cases of these, and i have to use them. I am not satisfied.

Pampers Falling Apart: I've been using Pampers brand and was always happy with the product. The past 3 boxes of Pampers that I have bought have basically fallen apart at the seams after minimal amount of time that leave my child, his crib and everything else around coated in urine-soaked gel. I now have to wake my child halfway through the night to change his diaper to avoid this. When I had the issue with the first box, I just figured it was a defective batch. The second box was the same, and I wasn't going to buy the third, but they were given to me as a gift. These Pampers diapers were defective as well. The quality of the Pampers brand diapers has gone totally downhill. I've now switched to Huggies.
I am very disappointed in Pampers as I have been using this forever and now the quality has gone so bad it's shocking. I always buy in bulk and now the nappies are all leaking and mostly broken. You guarantee the nappy will last for 12 hours which is so not the case; 4 hours max and I have to wake my baby to replace as by then the cot is soaking wet. Please let me know if you need barcode or something.

I have had a similar issue to the previous complaints. Pampers diapers are defective? The crystal gels were all over my son. This happened more than three times and I finally stopped using them. Then I saw this site and it seems others have the same issue.

I have been using Pampers Baby Dry Diapers for over a year now, as our nighttime diaper with no issues. This last box, at least three times a week, the top or sides are opening up and the gel crystals are leaking all over the crib, child and clothes. I am wondering if there was a defective batch, because we have never had this issue. We buy the larger size box, so it is not that cheap to just throw away all the remaining diapers. But on the same hand, I am very tired of the gel crystals coming out everywhere!

In the last month, I have bought 4 boxes of nappies as I help with the care of my granddaughter. Although expensive and me being alone, I like their quality until the last box I opened to use and the green fastening tag came off, 3 of them. This is a lot of money for a pensioner to lose. I would like a gesture from you as they were faulty.
I recently purchased Pampers active fit, buy two boxes for 14. I'm most disappointed with this product as every time my son which is only five months old has a number two, he has to be changed instantly. If this is not done, I will find it all up. He's back all around, his thighs and anywhere else. As you can imagine, this is very annoying. Not only are nappies pricey but so is electric as my washing machine is on at least twice a day trying to wash poo out of his vest and clothes.

What is happening to Pampers's quality? My baby wears the 9 and up kg nappy. The nappy does not even last 30 minutes. The gel falls out by the side. I am not happy at all! This is the third month that the packs I buy are not up to standard. The stretch sides tear off when I put on a nappy. So unhappy about this. I do not feel like ever supporting you guys again!

I brought 2 large boxes of new born Pampers from Sam's for a baby shower gift. When the mother started using the Pampers, she got a bad box the tape on the Pampers wouldn't stick. I paid too much for these diapers and couldn't exchange them. Highly upset! I love the name Pampers for new born babies.

I have always been a satisfied customer with Pampers' products. I have 2 kids of my own, and I only used Pampers diapers and wipes, nothing else! I recently bought some newborn diapers for my babysitter, as a gift for her and her baby. When she opened the package, she found that a few of the diapers was not usable, due to some tears in the diapers. Can you help replace this product, because the store would not take it back, because of the package already being opened.

I am not sure if am writing the right person. I have bought a box of size 4 diapers and all but about ten of them the tabs were falling off. I have never had this happen to me before. I have used Pampers with my son who is now 8 and now using them with my daughter. The store would not exchange them. They told me to email Pampers. I hope to here from you soon.

I have a baby of 19 months. Up to now, I have always been pretty happy with Pampers nappies. That's until this morning. I'm using Pampers Simply Dry. I changed my baby at 7.30. By the time I changed her again at 9, the nappy had all the crystal bits falling out of it, covering the baby's body so badly that she needed to be bathed. Same thing happened an hour and a half later.
Certainly, it would not be convenient if I was out somewhere. Also, if your paying a good price for nappies, you expect a bit better outcome. I would never bother complaining normally. but this morning's mess was not desirable.

My 23 month old son never had a diaper rash, until I purchased Pampers dry max size 4. I am between potty training, and using diapers, and have recently started using Pampers pull ups also. From birth, I stuck with seventh generation diapers. I even bought the trainers, and I wish I would have never changed the brand. Diapers can become expensive, and a case only lasts 3-4 weeks. Trying to save money, I now have to deal with a terrible rash that doesn't seem to want to go away soon. I change my son after he goes once or twice.
Still, he has developed a rash on the back of his thigh, around the lining of the diaper. These diapers are headed to the trash. As consumers, we need put pressure on these companies like Pampers, Huggies, and standard store brands to stop producing diapers with chemicals that cause burns like and itchy rashes that scar our children! Start buying chlorine free, or cloth diapers, because no diaper should contain harsh ingredients! Watch their sales go down! I am demanding a ban on skin irritating chemicals in all diapers!

My grandson had Pampers diapers break and he was covered in the beads and ingested some. His skin was severely damaged for a month. I am pursuing a resolution. The company could care less! We were reimbursed for the cost of diapers and was sent a $1.00 coupon for Olay Skin Care. What is wrong with this horrible company? Take action people, do not let them get away with this. Huggies is the only product anyone can trust!

I have been buying Pampers for over 20 years. I still buy them for my foster children. The last two boxes that I have bought have had tabs that break and really seem to leak. Hopefully you can help me find a way to fix this problem because I buy a lot of diapers and would like to continue to. This is leaving the children to play in their diaper and make a mess. In return I have to do more laundry and that costs more. These kids have enough to live with; let's at least have a good diaper for them.

I have been buying Pampers diapers since my little one was born. She is currently 14 months and is wearing size 4 diapers. Ever since I buy size number 4 diapers, I only experience problems with the nappies. Not only is it leaking but the jelly that forms in the inside just seems to fall out. Some of the nappies comes thorn out of the package (when we open the nappy to put it on the hard unformed jelly on the inside fell out). This is not the first pack of nappies that I experience this problems and also not the first time that I send in a complaint. The previous time was when we were on holiday far from malls or any shops to buy nappies. So I had to use all the nappies I had and did not keep the package they asked for unused nappies and the barcode on the pack which I did not had. So nothing was done about it.
This is really inconvenient and very embarrassing the incident with the jelly that fell out of the nappy happened in Checkers, and of course all eyes were on us. I did not know what to do. We just left the shop. All Pampers products are of good quality and excellent products, and as I said I've been using it for over a year now and would like to keep on using it as I am not fond of other baby products. But at this stage of time I am very upset with the Pamper nappies and is considering it to move to something else. I would appreciate a response on this and for it to be taken up so that this problem can be solved with the nappies.

My grandson developed a severe redness and blisters on his butt and sac, used pampers swaddles, got 2 prescriptions from Dr., soaked his butt and kept him try, and aired his butt out. Stopped using pampers baby wipes also changed from a&d ointment to balmex ,would clear up and put pampers back on and sure enough it was the Pampers swadlers diaper. My daughter changed his brand and the chemical burn not a rash cleared right up. This was devastating to us and so painful for my precious grandson to have to go through!
Please don't use Pampers on your baby! Please these diapers should be recalled and taken off the market. They have a terrible chemical smell and that chemical caused a chemical burn on my grandson! Please tell everyone you know who has a baby! Don't want this to happen to another baby!

I bought bulk nappies, and some packets contained nappies without sticky tabs. I wasted a lot of money, and some bags of nappies donated were unusable.

We have been using Pampers since our daughter was born. She is now 20 months old. We started with the swaddlers and are now in the size 4. The last two boxes we have bought have tabs that don't stick or rip off, have a weird odor to them and she has had a rash from them. We purchased a Huggies brand overnight diaper. She was suddenly soaking the bed every night, and those work great! They are soft, stay in place, and her rash starts to clear up overnight. Then we put the Pampers back on her in the morning and it flares up again. What is going on with these diapers? We, as consumers, spend a lot of money on diapers and we are certainly not getting what we are paying for!

The sticky tabs on the sides of the nappies were pulling off as I was putting the nappies on my son. I would have just left it if it happened once or twice but it didn't. It's happened several times. It's very expensive to keep having to go out and buy new nappies when only on a very low budget when ideally you expect the ones you previously buy to last and not have to throw away!

My daughter is 11 months and I'm freaking out because after using Pampers size 4 diapers, her vaginal area was swollen, red and bleeding. After the first days I just figured it was a little irritated and I'd apply some ointment but then over the next couple of days the rash spread and got worse. It went from looking like red bumps to a dark brown discolored rash. I'm so disgusted that my child has to go through the pain and discomfort after using the products. Since then I've went back to Huggies diapers and will never switch to anything else ever again.

My son will be three in February, and we have been using Pampers since he was born. We have never had any problems until this last box we bought. It is the Pampers baby dry size 5. Has any thing changed in the last month? Because, they are leaking every time he wets in them. I have to change his clothes at least three or four times a day. I had to put two on him at night and when we go shopping, and they still are leaking. It is like they are not absorbing. I hope that if things has changed, they change back. I do not want to quit buying them because I have used Pampers on all three of my children. I am not pleased at all with this box we purchased. Hopefully, we just got a bad box and we will not have any problems in the future.

I have been using Pampers nappies on my daughter since she was born. She is nearly 2 now and I have noticed during the last couple of months that when putting the nappy on and doing it up, the sticky bit is ripping off. For a bit, I thought maybe it was me being heavy handed when doing it up, but then the child minder mentioned the same problem to me. It made me think that it ain't me, it's the nappies. I am not happy about this because when u buy them in boxes, you're only getting the half of what you paid for .

I received a box of Pampers Newborn Swaddlers as a gift for my baby shower. Being my first child and having a variety of diapers, I decided early on to "rotate" through the diapers we had received to see which brands we preferred. The last brand I was rotating through was the Pampers.
The first few diapers, I noticed this strange smell almost "chemical-like" and had noticed my sons diaper area with a redness and swollen look to it. And each time I went to pick up my son, I could tell when he had urinated because the smell from the diapers was so strong. I finally went back to the other brand of diapers I preferred because being a first time mother I knew that something was not right.
It is very scary and upsetting that my son was just a week old and he had to be exposed to this type of smell and ingredient in his diaper. We contacted the company and they requested two of the diapers for "further testing" and is sending coupons for more diapers but after thinking about it I am not sure if we will ever try this brand of diapers again.

My 2-year-old daughter has never had a diaper rash in her little life. Then, we purchased the size 3 Pampers Cruisers and she became red and blistery. We went to her pediatrician on two separate occasions and they gave her prescriptions for her rash. I had size 4 in her "go bag" for when we went out of town. The rash cleared up significantly until we came home and used the size 3 again. The rash came back in full force. I am appalled that a diaper could contain something that could hurt my child to this degree!

I bought a big box that had 156 diapers in them. Most of the diapers only have one tab on them. The box of diapers was pretty expensive for the tabs to not be on them. I bought the big box so I wouldn't have to buy sooner. I use them on a 19 month old and a 9 month old. So I go through them pretty quickly. I am not very happy about this.

I have been using Pampers for my daughter since she was born. She is only eight months old. I got up last night to change and feed her and the diaper had ripped in the front on the top. It leaked all over her pj's and all of the tiny plastic balls from inside the diaper were all over her--they were inside her pajamas and stuck to her. I freaked out a little because I didn't know what it was at first. It was awful. I guess maybe I will switch to Huggies. I am just glad that she had feety pajamas on that was buttoned because if she got any of that plastic in her mouth, it could have made her sick or something even worse than that.

I have an 11 month old daughter, who never had a diaper rash. I have always used Huggies diapers and last Wednesday, the store was out of the size 3 Huggies, so I grabbed a box of Pampers.
By Thursday afternoon, I noticed a small red patch in my daughters diaper area, ok no big deal, I put Desitin on it and it should be gone. Next diaper change, the spot got bigger. Over the course of 6 days with frequent diaper changes and constant creams, powders, ointments this spot went from a dime size red spot to a full blown rash.
By the 6th night, her genitals, bottom and insides of her thighs were red and swollen. I got online and searched "pampers diaper rash" and Omg, when I saw the words "chemical burn" I rushed to the store, bought some Huggies, pulled her out of bed to change her into the Huggies and by the next morning her rash was pink, not swollen and she didn't scream when I was changing her.
I cannot believe that with all these complaints nothing has been done about this. The articles I have read all say that there was no link between the two, but I have witnessed it first hand and will never use any style of Pampers again and will spread the word.

I have been using Pampers since my son was born. The first issue was, we bought a box of size 3 cruisers and in the box was 20 size 4s. This was just annoying since he was no where near wearing size 4s. The main issue is, with the next box I purchased was the new size 4 cruisers with dry max. He wore them for two nights and we noticed he had blisters and redness all over his buttocks. The blisters were popping and bleeding. He could not sit down or walk.
Eventually, this lead to a fever and massive infection. We brought him to the emergency room, where he was treated for the infection. They asked if we had changed diapers and I had said Pampers changed their product and this was the result. He has always worn cruisers and now this happens. He was in so much pain and needed pain medication round the clock. He is only 12 months old and should not be suffering from this much pain due to diapers. It has been over three weeks and 5 different antibiotics and the rash is finally looking better. We ended up switching to baby dry, although he leaks through these at night, they do not cause a rash. I do not want to switch diapers, but I might have to due to the switch. Seeing my son in so much pain put a lot of stress on the household and took a lot of time from work and his play.

My husband got Pampers Swaddlers diapers. I opened the package and put a diaper on my daughter. An hour later, I was ready to go to town, so I pick up my baby and I could smell something very strong--a pungent odor coming from her diaper, I can't explain the odor; it was like paint thinner or perfume that didn't smell good. It was gagging me, because the odor was so strong. It was horrible so I immediately took her into her room to change her, thinking maybe there was something on her pants or top (while thinking there is no way I can keep all of her stuff very clean and am very, very picky about every little thing with her).
I took the wet diaper off and that was where the stench was coming from. So I grabbed a second diaper out of the freshly opened pack and it smelled just as bad. So I grabbed a third and a fourth, and each one had that horrible smell. I have used Pampers or Huggies since my daughter was born. And it has been one thing after another. But this is seriously life-threatening. That smell was so bad, and I don't know what was in the diapers. But I sure would like to find out if it is going to cause my daughter problems in the future. As for me, I am so fed up with all the problems that I am switching to cloth and I will care for my child the best way I can think of.

I bought my daughter size 2 Pampers Swaddlers. With every diaper, even when she only urinates a little bit, weird pieces were stuck to her that looked like chunks of sugar. It's really irritating and it's hard to get them off, especially because they are everywhere.

I recently opened and started using Pampers Dry Max diapers that my grandmother purchased for me. I usually use the Pampers Baby Dry, but thought nothing of a different type of diaper from the same company would be causing any issues. However, within two days of using the new type of diaper, my son experienced a rash and what looked like broken blisters or chemical burns on his genital area. I did some research online about rashes and blistering and a bunch of complaints about Pampers Dry Max diapers causing similar reactions came up. I immediately stopped using the Dry Max diapers. My son's rash and blisters have gotten much better over the last few days. I am just amazed that so many parents have had similar issues with the same brand and type, yet it is still on the market! I will not be buying their product any longer!
Since the diapers were a gift, I don't have a receipt, so I couldn't get a refund for my dissatisfaction or my son's discomfort. However, the money back is not as much important as getting this product off the market so it doesn't cause any more helpless babies and children pain!

I have been buying Pampers diapers for some time. I have an 11-month-old daughter. I bought baby dry pack number 5. I placed the diaper on her at night.
In the morning, I was changing her and I saw a black head long metal pin was in the diaper. The metal pin was in the cushion and you can see only the black top of it. Thank God she is fine and did not get hurt. I am extremely mad about this because my precious daughter's life was at stake here.
I still have the pin and I'm going to contact the corporate office.

I have been using Pampers new baby diapers for the past 4 months. Recently, I bought a jumbo pack new baby and found the diapers to be different. There's no stretchy waist band. In fact, the diapers look exactly like that of the sleep and play. I am not very happy about this. Please, could you check up on this? The bar code on pack is POL 06/07/08 8188 4518 16.

After buying new Cruisers Pampers from diapers.com (the same brand we have been buying for months), my son developed a severe rash all over his bottom and elsewhere. I couldn't figure out what was wrong until I smelled the new diapers versus the old one that I had in my diaper bag and noticed a very strong fragrance. The new ones smell like powdery perfume. I can't believe that Pampers can change their product without notifying the public. I'm now stuck with $60 worth of diapers that I won't even donate to charity. I just ordered Seventh Generation. I'm disgusted at P&G for ignoring all the complaints that I have seen online. For those reading, the old Cruisers are purplish, and have small Sesame characters while the new horrific ones that caused my son much pain have stripes and big Sesame faces on the front.

I have bought Pampers since day one. My daughter is now 19 months old and is in size five diapers. She gets severe diaper rash like red bumps all over her bottom and upper legs and it's very painful for her.
I then switched her from the Pampers cruisers, which were the ones giving her the rash to the Pampers baby dry. The baby dry ones are great except almost every time I put them on her, the tab breaks off then it's wasted diapers. I pay 36 to 45 dollars on each box of diapers from Sams club to Costco and Walmart and have problems with every store. The store tells me to call the company but I never get to speak with a person--it's all automated.
I would like to receive some coupons maybe for some more diapers. I have my receipts from my diaper purchases. Please, diapers are expensive and I can't afford to keep throwing away hundreds of unusable diapers.

I have a two-month old baby. Since she outgrew the newborn Pampers, I switched to Pampers Active Baby 3. I change her diapers quite often. But with this product, I noticed that her clothing around her bum gets damp! So, I end up having to change her leggings, as well as her diaper, at almost every diaper change. I am switching to Huggies from now on!

We just had our baby boy back in May 2011. We started using Pampers Dry Max and Swaddlers and since day one, he has had a horrible diaper rash. Diaper rash isn't even the word from the rash that he had. Red sore blisters, it was horrible. We first thought it was his formula, so we changed that but it didn't go away. Then we thought it was the wipes, we changed that but it still didn't go away. We went to the pediatrician and he gave us prescription diaper rash medicine and still the rash was not getting better.
Finally, we decided to change the diapers and within 24 hours, the rash began getting better. I think it is horrible that a company like Proctor and Gable/Pampers continue to make/sell the product the way it is. No child deserves to be put through the pain like my son did. I will never use any Pamper products ever again! Something needs to be done to get these diapers off the shelves!

Ten months ago my wife and I had a beautiful baby girl. We have enjoyed each day watching her grow up. Well, today our first true nightmare haunted us. Our daughter loves her pacifier. She has grown accustom to it. Today, it broke completely off the stopper and got caught in her throat. Luckily someone was right there to provide immediate assistance. This simple creation almost stopped a life. The piece that broke was too big for her to understand how to swallow it or spit it up. She is only 10 months.
The pacifier broke smoothly off in two pieces. I have searched for a mailing address and phone number to speak to headquarters directly. I do not want operators, clerks, or assistants. We are talking about lives. I would like to show you the pictures of this product and how the breakage was clean and show areas of concern.
I am trying to be proactive about this matter - but I do not know how long this feeling will last. I have the pacifier and pictures to show the breakage.

I found a razor blade in the lining of Pampers Dry Max, size 4 diaper. It was an old style, double edge razor. It was where the gel forms, on the inside of the diaper. Fortunately we went swimming and the diaper swelled, so we took it off. When we went to roll the diaper up, it popped out of the inner layer of the diaper. The grace of God, kept our child from being hurt by it. It just happened today and we haven't reported it yet to pampers.

I used Pampers Dry Max Newborn diapers and my baby girl broke out in such a burn/rash that her entire bottom and partial of her legs were blistered with the rash and when you wiped her bottom during diaper change, it would peel her skin back. She had this rash from day one of her life until she was about two months old. We tried cremes, going diaper free, no wipes, powdered, and countless doctor visits. This caused missed time at work for me and pain and suffering for her. I will request the medical records if needed. They don't lie.

My son had moderate contact dermatitis, requiring a visit to our pediatrician. This began approximately 24 hours after switching from Huggies brand diapers to size 2 Pampers Dry Max diapers. The rash continued to worsen until it was discovered that the change in diapers was the culprit. It was hard to believe the diapers were causing this rash, as our son had used Pampers brand as a newborn.
However, it was certainly the diapers as the blue absorbent strip found in the Dry Max diaper was transposed onto my son's genital area, only red and very irritated instead of blue. We now have close to 100 Pampers diapers we paid for and are unable to use or return for a refund as the package has already been opened. In addition, we have the cost for the office visit for our son to see his pediatrician who agreed without a doubt that the Pampers Dry Max diapers were the culprit. Fortunately, our son's rash has already improved dramatically within 24 hours of discontinuing the Pampers Dry Max diapers.

I purchased a packet of Pampers Sensitive baby wipes from the store on Tuesday, 7/6/11. I opened the wipes yesterday so I could change my son only for two bugs to fall out. I was shocked. I checked the packet to see if there were any holes they could have crawled in. There wasn't. I pulled a couple more wipes out and two more fell out. I would like for yourself to look into my complaint. I am not happy about this. I have kept the bugs so I can go back to the Wilkinsons store and show them.

I bought a pack of pampers economic nappies and 6 of them only has a strap on the one side so I can't use them for my baby and I think this is a waist for me. If it was just one, I would understand, but six is too many. I want a refund for them and I think that Pampers should take better care as the manufacture of these nappies because they are a well known and respected brand and this is not acceptable. I would really appreciate it if I could receive some feedback from Pampers.

I have been using pampers since my oldest son was born. I love the diapers but I bought 2 boxes of diapers from Wal-Mart and I started using them and the Velcro strap on the diapers were not fully sowed on. Every time my son goes to play his diaper will break and fall off. I want to get reimbursed for my money or some coupon to get me 2 more boxes. They were not the small bags they were the large boxes, you can even throw in some diaper wipes or something else extra if you would like for my trouble. I hope to be hearing from someone soon.

I have used Pampers Disposable Diaper on and off on my 18-month-old son since he came home from the hospital and noticed that he ended up with severe rash on his bottom. When his pediatrician saw the rash, she immediately said that it does not look like a regular diaper rash and looks more like acid rash and perhaps he may be lactose intolerant. I have switched him to lactose free milk and at the same time switched him to Huggies Diapers. He hasn't had a rash in months until this weekend after I switched him back to Pamper Cruisers with Dry Max, thinking that it fits him better. I switched him on Monday morning and his genitalia were red by Monday night. By Tuesday, he had diaper rash on his bottom area as well. I know that he gets changed at day care every two hours and every more frequently at home. I honestly believe that it is Pampers that caused the rash. My husband went out to buy Huggies last night and will never use Pampers again.

We purchased Pampers diapers for my granddaughter born last Dec. 10, 2010. At 2 weeks made old, she developed a rash. At 3 weeks old, she developed blisters, even though her Mom changed her constantly. And creams were ineffective. So we changed the diaper brand to Huggies, and the rash and blisters cleared right up.
We trusted Pampers, and my family went through agony at Christmas time. My tiny granddaughter was in pain and cried every time she had to go to the bathroom. No brand-new baby should have to suffer chemical-like burns.

I purchased these diapers, size 4 , for my 9 month old. Simply stated, my husband and I put a fresh diaper on at close to 10 pm. When we got up the next morning, at around 6:15 am there was gel everywhere, including my son's face. This is ridiculous. To make matters worse, when I called in to complain to the Procter and Gamble corporation and wanted to share photos of what had taken place, the operator talked over me and told me there was no way to get the photos through to them unless it was through the mail. And to put the icing on the cake, I was sent a $10.00 coupon to purchase a new box. Sorry to tell them, my box was $16.99 and they can take that same 10.00 and use it to put towards bettering their product.

Hey, I have purchased a pack of Pampers Baby Dry (no. 4) for my son aged 7 months and what I found, I found a piece of wood in one of the nappies! It's not a joke. If I didn't notice it would probably have hurt my son because it has a sharp edge. I'm asking myself if the company is checking up the quality. And not to mention the straps that doesn't stick. I always use Pampers but I'm considering in changing the brand because it's not worth it throwing those nappies because they don't stick.
It's like throwing away money cause in Malta they are very expensive compared to other nappy brands! And it is not funny to find a piece of wood stuck in one of the nappies with sharp edge! Fortunately enough there was no damage cause. I noticed the piece of wood immediately but there would have been serious injury because the baby's skin is so soft that it could easily been damaged by this piece of wood.

I bought a big packet of Pampers nappies size 4+ for my baby at Reggies in Cape Gate Centre and came across eight nappies having only one strap on the nappy. I had to use four of the eight and put cellotape on just so my baby's bottom could be covered. I still have the other four at home. I am very disappointed. Please get back to me soon.

Since they change to the new "formula", my son has been getting severe rashes! He is 30 months now and I have only used Pampers since birth! We have experimented with other brands and those others have always caused a rash! I trusted Pampers and now my son is suffering with no alternative. Whatever the new "chemical" is in DryMax, it is not worth it! And for the record, I change him frequently! I have been OCD about preventing rashes since his birth!

I have been purchasing Pampers brand of diapers for my son since he was born, he is now 22 months old. I've refused to use any other brand on him. I have been very satisfied up until recently. I purchased Pampers Cruisers, size 3 and every single diaper falls apart! It is not the straps but the actual liner coming apart from the outer layer. Diapers are not cheap and it is very upsetting to have a whole box do this. I will probably give it one last try and if it happens again, I will be shopping for a different brand!

My daughter is nearly 3 years old. I purchased size 6. There was a problem with the fastener, on several, it had fallen off. Always buy Pampers.

On October 29, 2010, I purchased a package of Pampers Extra Protection size 4, 27 count from Shop Rite in Brooklawn, NJ for my 16-month-old son. The first diaper he had on for roughly an hour or so when I noticed that the gel from the inside of the diaper was coming out. The second diaper lasted roughly 2 hours before the same thing happened. At 1:00 am on October 30, I awoke to my son screaming loudly in his crib.
When I entered the room I saw him standing in his crib sobbing. Upon approaching his crib, I saw that his entire diaper had disintegrated and all of the gel inside of the diaper had come out all over his legs from his thigh to his ankle. It was also in a pile on his crib sheet. It made a mess everywhere. Since I had purchased no other diapers, I had no choice but to put on another Pampers Extra Protection diaper and wait until morning to buy something that worked.
I am very displeased with Pampers as I have had similar experiences with my other 2 sons using Pampers diapers, minus the Cruisers. I only bought the Extra Protections because I received some coupons in the mail and I had never tried them before. I'll never use them again as they are clearly obsolete. I'll return instead to using Huggies as they have worked well with all of my three boys.

I haven't called Pampers to make the complaint yet but I know for a fact that their diapers has something wrong with it. This the second time my son attracted a chemical looking burn rash. He has been using this product for 14 months and then we ran out of diapers. His Day Care used a Pampers diaper 2x's and he broke out with this rash.

I have been using Pampers Swaddlers since my baby was born 5 months ago and had no problems. Unfortunately, last week, I accidentally purchased Pampers Swaddlers with Dry Max. My baby had a total of 3 diaper changes in an eight-hour time period. By the last diaper change, she had the worst diaper rash I have every seen on a baby. She had a little diaper rash once before but this was red and blistery. My poor baby girl was in so much pain. It was heartbreaking. I don't know if it was a chemical burn, but I can say that my daughter had a blister where you could see that the layer of skin was missing. I immediately purchased the Swaddlers without Dry Max and five days later, she still has a blister but the rest of the rash is gone and it is healing. I feel that P&G should really take these complaints much more seriously and recall all of the diapers.

On September 28, 2010, I bought a box of Pampers diaper (size 2, count 96) at a Wal-Mart store. First, when I was changing my daughter's diaper, I saw some vein looking white lines all over her skin and I thought my husband put the diaper too tight and the skin was badly wrinkled; However, on the next change it had changed to some reddish rash. It's lucky she didn't go to a baby sitter that day; otherwise, I would have blamed the baby sitter causing the rash for not changing my daughter's diaper on time. I kept changing her diaper more frequently and watching her closely. That night my daughter kept waking up and crying unusually may be it was burning her. I didn't realize it was caused by the diaper until I saw it getting worse as I kept watching and treating her to avoid her from sitting on a wet diaper. She never had a diaper rash. This is the first time it ever happened to her. Therefore, I do not want to continue using this set of diapers and may be no more Pampers diapers.

I've tried to get my monies. The company hasn't protected me. It sounds crazy but I put on the contract. My name would be Seven Samuel **, just like the number. I need my monies in full. I had strawberry blonde hair on the logo. I believe it was in California. Please help them find me and get me my monies. I signed a paper saying Mark could cash it for me. But I've been aggravatingly robbed in other lives and made sign people over monies. I need my monies. Please investigate every life. The company said the individuals would protect me. They haven't yet. Please investigate. Thank you. This is his mother. Please help him get his monies. He was supposed to get it at 18 and he needs it in full.

I used the Dry Max diapers and caused a rash. I also switched back to the regular diapers because you get more in the box. After 3 hours, my daughter was waking up with soaking wet clothes and sheets.

Since my son was born, I've used Pampers nappies. As he was growing older, he developed many of weeping sore blisters on his bum. He would cry in the middle of the night with the pain he was in. At times, he would go over to my sofa and put his arms on the sofa where he lay his head and cried with the pain from his bum. He has had many, many hours without wearing a nappy as I've tried always to let the air get to his bum to clear up the open wounds! I first of all thought it may be the cream I was using but thought this strange as I had used the same cream on him since he was born, even know in my heart I knew it wasn't the cream. I still paid very good money out on different creams to try and correct the problem. The problem still remained!
On and off as time has passed by, I've still bought Pampers nappies but they have been all different brands of Pampers nappies me thinking they are a good make and one must be fine with his skin! My son is now two and has now developed a severe rash all up his legs on his lower back and even on his arms! I've seen my doctor today who had to prescribed me with a much stronger cream that has steroids in the cream to clear the infection as the prior cream I tried to clear this up simply wasn't touching the rash as it was that bad.
I've had my suspicions the nappies over time hence me switching different brands of nappies but on and off the problems still were there! I have always washed my sons lower parts with plain water and cotton wool not to aggravate the skin even more so I knew it wasn't anything in a wet wipe as I don't use them on his lower areas! The latest brand I bought was simply dry, paid a lot of money for a box of them. My god, worse thing I done. It's since he has been wearing this brand that this rash all over his legs arms and lower back has appeared, not to mention he doesn't have to wear them long before the nappy leaks crystals all over the carpets. He is a toddler so runs around a lot by the time. I catch him to get the nappy off him. The crystals are everywhere, not to mention stuck to his skin.
When I think of all the times I tried different brands of Pampers and different creams and I think of all the times my son was crying in pain and couldn't walk properly due to weeping wounds and bright red sore bums, I am so very annoyed with this brand. Why is nothing being done about this? Pampers are very quick in taking customer's money for they're supposed to be trusted brand and instead they have lost our trust and left us with children in pain. It's so wrong! Something needs to be done and done fast.

Whenever we change a diaper, there are white crystals on our baby's skin. These crystals seem to be coming out of the inner lining of the diaper. They seem to be harmless, but it takes extra time to clean them off.

I have been using Pampers Swaddlers and Pampers Cruisers for all my kids approximately 4 years. My 16-month old daughter developed a rash that wouldn't go away. I have a newborn as well who developed a rash so severe that she had blisters on her bottom. The rash was everywhere the diaper touched her, belly, back, bottom, etcetera. Whatever change they made with their formula has adverse effect on my kids and am now shopping for another brand.

I purchased Dry Max Pampers for my 6-month old daughter around the end of June 2010. My daughter experienced some redness around her vaginal area. I quickly returned them to the store and exchanged them for Pampers Baby Dry, the kind I had always used for eight years on all four of my children along with Pampers Cruisers with out the Dry Max formula. I was an avid Pampers supporter, being very careful what was being introduced to my babies sensitive skin with three of them suffering with eczema.
Around the beginning of August, my husband made the mistake of purchasing Cruisers with the Dry Max formula again which I decided to try once again thinking it may not have been the Pampers. Once again redness appeared and I quickly stopped use of Dry Max Cruisers that same day and went back to Pampers Baby Dry. The next day her vaginal area, rectal area, around her waist line and back and even her belly button were all an angry beefy red color and very itchy. She cried and grabbed in pain.
Keeping in contact with her pediatrician's office. We tried Nystatin cream--didn't work, Miconazole cream--didn't work and with a visit to her pediatrician-- clotrimazole cream was prescribed and is now not working. Use of each different cream yielded some relief in the beginning of each use but ending with redness and continued itching. A phone call will be put in to her pediatrician's office on tomorrow which will be September 10th to see what else needs to be done to rid her of this pestering rash. Even now, dealing with this disturbing rash, the Pampers Baby Dry has been linking and a gel like material has been coming out from between the two layers of material from the back of the pamper. Mind you, over eight years I trusted Pampers but now is very disappointed and of course looking to put my trust in another company.

I purchased a box of pampers Stage 4 at the local PriceSmart dealership in Port of Spain, Trinidad. I normally used Huggies, but as Pampers advertised the increased amount of disposables in the Stage 4 box and I had previously used the Stage 1-2, I decided to give the product another try. I noticed my daughter developed a diaper rash around the vagina area after use. I had to immediately stop the use of the product and purchase a box of Huggies. I still have some of the Pampers disposable diapers at home as I do not want to give or donate to any one for fear that their child may develop a rash.

Well, I have bought Pampers nappies quite a few times and every time I have my son has leaked through them. It's not very nice as they are suppose to be 1 of the best nappies to use which I find they are clearly not. He gets a rash straight away from them and for the price we pay for a pack of nappies is ridiculous. They should not leak or form a rash at all. I am very disappointed and will not be using this product again.

I bought the Pampers baby dry diapers and have noticed that when my baby has about 1 or 2 pees in her diaper, they have little cracks that appear, which leads to the pee or poo leaking through the little cracks, and is staining through to her clothes. I am sure this is not supposed to happen, considering they are supposed to last up to 8 hours. Hers isn't lasting more than 2.
I am not very happy. I have always used and supported Pampers, and now I am really unimpressed. Diapers are really expensive these days, and the economy is making it hard enough to buy diapers at a regular rate, but I am now going through more than average baby, because of this problem. I think it's ridiculous. Pampers is all about how they are the best diapers, but these ones are not. I thought it may have just been one pack, but it's happening again with a new pack. I really don't enjoy having to change my child's clothes, every time I change her diaper.

We bought a case (96) of Pampers Dry Max diapers for our 9 month old 3 weeks ago. She has never had even the start of diaper rash, and the evening after we started using these diapers, she had not just a rash, but blisters and burnt areas to her entire butt, and her genitalia. She was screaming in pain, and was up the entire night. It was absolutely heart wrenching that my baby was in that much pain.
She had used Pampers when she was a newborn without any reaction, so we ruled out the possibility of this "rash" being from her diapers. When I saw that this issues has been known since May, it absolutely disgusted me. It has now been 3 weeks since the incident, and my baby girl has scars to her buttocks, legs, and vagina. Why were these diapers not pulled from the shelves?

I bought pampers nappies and have been a big fan of this brand only when I bought two boxes this week. On opening them found that on the sticky seal on the side of nappy was very difficult to remove and took three ripped nappies until I got it. All other nappies were the same in box and took care in order not to rip them which is very inconvenient when you have a screaming baby with a dirty nappy.

My newborn granddaughter ended up with a really bad rash due to the pampers dry max diapers. These diapers should be taken off the market. There are too many cases to be ignored.

My baby girl got the worst case of diaper rash. I will never buy Pampers again. I've never in my life been so sick to my stomach watching my little girl shake from the pain. It still gives me nightmares. I didn't even have the heart to donate the rest of the box to charity. My husband and I couldn't do that to another child. I'm writing this because people need to know about Pampers Cruisers and Dry Max! The diaper rash was so bad on our 8-month old, she was blistered. It took an antibiotic to finally clear it up.

He hardly ever gets rashes, let alone any this bad. Within a day or two, my son got a horrible rash on his bottom and private parts, so bad that he would gasp for air and cry out of sheer pain any time his bottom was touched and nothing seemed to help it go away.
Tonight I received a text from my sister-in-law saying Pampers were being recalled for giving babies rashes and burns! This explains why my baby has had such an unusual painful rash which he still has along with a slight fever.
I am beyond upset that this has happened to my son and all these other children I am hearing about! I will never buy another Pampers product and hope all others do the same!

My daughter is almost one and has never had any type of diaper rash. Three days ago, I purchased Pampers Dry Max instead of our usual brand of Huggies. She has had a severe rash ever since. It was not until today that I heard of the complaints and figured out what was causing this. I will never put another Pampers product on her again and recommend other parent's to do the same.

I purchased a package of Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max yesterday. After approximately 3 diaper changes, my grandson developed a rash on his bottom and private part. It was clearly a reaction to chemicals or fragrance in the new diapers. We have used Pampers for years but in comparing the new diapers to a few left over at home, we discovered that the new bag had a distinct chemical odor. When I went online to find a number for Pampers, I discovered the fact that many other parents have experienced what we went through last night. My grandson was crying and could not even sit down without what appeared to be excruciating pain.
To add insult to injury, I am now learning that P&G has known about this since May 2010 and have chosen to ignore that outcry of parents. If they had taken these parents seriously, my grandson would not have experienced the trauma that he endured last night. I am outraged by the position P&G has taken and I am committed to being heard on this matter. Someone has to stop big business from placing profits above people.

I just loved Pampers swaddlers. However, I bought a packages of Drymax in May, and I noticed that my twins were leaking terribly. I was changing sheets every morning and after every nap for my twins! There was leakage in two hours or less: during church (one hour), during naps (two hours) and during playtime (one hour). After about two hours, the diapers consistently leaked! I went online to see if other parents had noticed the same thing, and found a rash of complaints about the product, not only citing leakage, but also citing burns to babies.
I have switched to Huggies. They are not as soft as Pampers, but at least they are a safe product, and at least they don't leak in two hours! I also will not use this product on the principle that this company is not responding with proper ethics to the complaints about severe burns. There is a clear difference between a diaper rash and a chemical burn. Moms and dads are intelligent. We know what diapers fit our babies, and we know to change them often, and we know the difference between diaper rash and burns to the skin.

My daughter is a year old and she has always worn Pampers - Swaddlers and now Cruisers. We recently got Dry Max for her as BabiesRus did not have Baby Dry. I purchased the largest pack - 160 ct without even imagining that there could be a problem. I noticed rashes after she started wearing them. Initially, I thought it might be due to the warm weather. Later on, I searched online and was surprised to see that there are so many other babies who had rashes after using Dry Max. I wish I would have searched the reviews before I purchased it. Unfortunately, I threw the box and not sure if I could return it. Dry Max proved to very expensive. My baby got rashes and I lost my money.

I bought Pamper Premium for my babies and it burnt their little bums, so I bought Pampers Active Baby and it is so thin that you could see when they were watering. I had to use two nappies for them not to wet themselves. This was the first time that this has happened as I only use Pampers.

What a nightmare. I had just bought a box of Pampers Swaddlers with dry max at my local Target. I have been using Swaddlers on my daughter since she was born 4 months prior to this incident with absolutely NO problems. When I went to Target that day I bought the "new" Dry Max swaddlers. Within 1 hour, my daughter started doing this gasping sound for air, almost like she couldn't catch her breath. I panicked and didn't know what was wrong. No fever, she was not showing any signs of being sick, she was fine an hour prior to putting on this diaper. In my head, I didn't connect the diaper to anything that could be happening. The breathing got so bad my husband and I had to literally speed her to Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh!
When we got there and went to check her rectal she had a severe chemical burn all over her entire bottom! From front to back. The rash was so bad and so painful, it was causing her so much pain she couldn't breathe. I felt horrible and couldn't believe what had happened. I put a ton of Desitin on her bottom and discontinued using the Swaddlers. Within 12 hours of discontinuing the swaddlers, the burn was healing and her breathing was getting a lot better. My daughter is breastfed and has never had a diaper rash at all prior to this. Not even a little bit. This was a burn. I mean it was actually sickening to my stomach. Her whole area front to back down below was just red, swollen, and looked extremely painful. Do not buy Pampers swaddlers with Dry Max!

I would say that there is something seriously wrong with the Pampers diapers. I bought a package of Pampers Baby Dry, the bonus pack with 124 size #3 and my son has been using Pampers since I brought him home from the hospital. Last week, I bought these and he had a bad rash around the inner thighs and his testicles.
I didn't use Pampers with my girls. I used Huggies and I am due to have another baby in February and I think I will switch to Huggies just to be on the safe side. But yes, it's true about the rash. Pampers better do something and fast before they go out of business from people switching to different brands because I know I won't buy Pampers anymore even if they come up with a solution.

I regularly use Luvs diapers but Kroger had P&G products on sale last week so I bought 7 packages of Pampers diapers. My daughter has used Pampers before and never had a problem, she's 6 months old. Well, I also had a coupon for a free package of Pampers' wipes with the purchase of a pack of diapers. I started using the Pampers diapers and wipes last Tuesday, by Friday my daughter had developed some sort of "rash" that was red in color and was all over her front and bottom (every place the diaper touched).
She was also swollen in her private area. It's been exactly a week later and the rash has not gone away, in fact it looks like little red circles that won't heal. They're also up on her stomach right where the top of the diaper sits. I am very upset about this. Whatever Pampers is putting in this new line of diapers and/or wipes is unsafe and should be pulled off the shelves! My baby has a rash/chemical burn as a result of the diapers and/or wipes. Nothing else in her daily routine has changed.

We just switched to the Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max (#3), having used Huggies for the past few months. After only the first day of use, my daughter broke out in the worst rash she has ever had in her 18 months. Never before have we seen a rash like this on her. She was a little more fussy that day than normal. Now we know why.
Her eating and drinking habits and diet hasn't changed one bit in the past week. This is definitely caused by this particular diaper. Even having used other Pampers diapers previously (the ones without Dry Max), she never had this kind of rash. It is severe and covers a significant portion of her butt. We took pictures.

I bought Pampers diapers for my baby a month ago, but the nappies don't seem to last for even 4 hours! She wakes up two to three times at night because she and all of the bedding is soaked. She does not drink any more fluids than usual. I've bought other diapers before and never had a problem such as this! I feel that the quality you get for the amount you pay, is not worth it! I'm not satisfied at all. My baby has a terrible nappy rash, because of the nappy that doesn't keep her dry as they are supposed to do.

I am a 56-year-old disabled woman. I began using the Pampers wipes to clean myself after using the bathroom and developed a burn and a yeast infection. This started in mid-June 2010 and I stopped using them immediately. It was so bad that I had to go to the doctor on July 1. He prescribed Fluconazole 200 mg once a day for seven days. The yeast infection seems to have cleared up, but the burn has not improved at all. It is all over my bottom and up in the front as well. I fell in November 2009 and broke my leg in several places, including my hip and femur bone.
I am unable to see this area or treat it on my own, so I'm relying on friends and family to come over and help me. It's a terribly embarrassing situation. I have used Balmex and Hydrocortisone cream, as well as other diaper rash creams. Nothing is helping. I have searched the internet, but cannot find any information about the wipes, only the diapers causing these problems. I did see something on the news about the wipes, and several other people have told me they saw it as well. The pain is severe, especially when I have to urinate. If it doesn't improve in the next few days, I will be going to the emergency room for help. I have spent in excess of $200 so far, and this ordeal is not over yet. I am on a fixed income (disability) and live alone, so this has been a financial hardship on me.

My daughter is almost 11 months old and has never had any type of diaper rash until I started using the Pampers Dry Max diapers. We have been to the doctor and are on prescription cream now after suffering a severe burn type diaper rash that then turned into a yeast infection on top of it. I have spent almost 100.00 dollars on otc creams as well to coat her bottom while it heals. She screamed and shook while going to the bathroom because she was in so much pain. We can't go swimming or pretty much leave the house until the rash gets better since I have to leave her bottom exposed as much as we can.
This has been horrible for her and I to go thru. I had loved Pampers diapers. She is my fourth child but I will never use them again. We are in organic hypoallergentic Huggies now. I cant' believe Pampers is not stepping up the plate and doing something about this obvious problem. I am disappointed and outraged so many babies are suffering because of this baby dry max stuff! Who needs a diaper to be guaranteed for 12 hours anyways? I don't know of a baby who sleeps that long in one stretch anyways! I have spent on copays and scripts and otc meds more than 100.00 dollars in last week. Plus had to go buy new diapers and have a ton of pampers baby max dry just sitting in the closet!

I was so excited to buy a box of "good" diapers for my 13 month old son. We have only used SAMSs club brand Cheapies on him (which actually work pretty well) but I had a great coupon for Pampers and thought I would treat him to a better diaper. Within a day, a rash appeared on his inner thighs and area in front that a diaper would cover. We have used various no name brands since he was born and he never had a diaper rash of any kind. I thought it might have been related to something he ate, but the rash continued.
Then my brother mentioned that he switched his baby to Huggies after the Pamper recall. I couldn't find any info on the Pampers website regarding a recall, but have read up on hundreds of complaints. I have a huge box of wasted diapers now and I think I am going to call customer service for Pampers tomorrow and complain. I have switched back to the old diapers, but it is taking awhile for the rash to subside.

I've used Pampers on both my kids (28 months and 12 months) forever now. I bought a box of Dry Max and my daughter has what looks like a permanent burn mark on the diaper line on her right butt cheek. It's been there almost a month now, nothing seems to make it go away. Is this a chemical burn others were referring too? This is the first, I'm hearing of the recall? What can we do as consumers?

When my first child was born, we tried all the diaper brands out there and liked Pampers the best, so we knew with our new baby we were going to use them. The hospital used Huggies on her and also supplied us with enough diapers for the first week. My daughter was born very small and we soon realized that we needed preemie diapers for her. My mom bought the 3 major brands not knowing which one we wanted. I used up the first two so that we could save the best for last, Pampers. She had developed a little normal rash just because she was messing so often, but it went away.
Then she developed the burn rash as soon as we started using the Pampers, thinking it would go away like before; it didn't. It became so raw that she would bleed. I didn't think it was the diapers since it was just on her bottom. I later noticed that her skin would just be red (no blisters) around her legs and torso; that's when I started thinking it was the diapers. Plus, she had the rash for almost 3 weeks and no ointment would work. It was confirmed when I ran out of Pampers and used a package of Huggies, given as a gift. The rash cleared in less than a day.
It breaks my heart to know that my newborn, from her 2 to 4 weeks of life was in so much pain. She would cry terribly every diaper change and yelp for a couple of minutes after. Pampers needs to discontinue making their diapers this way!

We tried the free sample cruisers that come in 104 Ct. box of 12-hour Pampers, and my son developed a severe rash and blister on this area. He has never had, not even a hint of, diaper rash before or after this incident. I don't believe that Pampers is being vigilant enough in letting people know of the dangers to kids.

My son has been using the same Pampers Baby Dry diapers for months now. The last pack we bought was last week and he started a rash a few days ago.
Today, it looks like a burn the shape of the diaper. We tried creams, cornstarch, no wipes, washing the area every diaper change, cloth diapers and letting air to get to the area. Nothing is working.
We have always changed his diaper every 2 hours. We were shocked when it showed up within a couple of hours of changing him. We lost $80, including the $38 pack and the other items to help sooth the issue... plus the pain and suffering.

Ever since Pampers improved their Cruisers line with the new innovative protection, my son has been dealing with a severe diaper rash. The school nurse just called and said that it's appearing to become yeasty. I can't control this rash at all and the Cruisers are the only ones that come in his size. At least from what I've been able to find.
My son's rash is so bad that Triple Paste cannot cure it and now with the yeast infection added to it, I just don't know what to do. I've tried forcing potty training because I wanted him out of the need for these Cruisers. Now, my son fights with me anytime I take him near the potty. I'm at my wits end! And my poor son is in complete discomfort!

I bought the Pampers Dry Max for my son and after the second day, he started to get a rash. My son hasn't had a rash since he was an infant. I bought the regular pampers and his rash cleared up right away. So I was out $25 that I used to buy the Dry Max Pampers and my son had an itchy rash that he scratched until he broke the skin.

We have been using pampers for three years now with two kids. My 18 month old never experienced diaper rashes until we started using the Dry Max diapers. He now has huge welts on his bottom and there is no ointment strong enough to help. We switched to organic Huggies for one week to see if that helped, when the rash cleared, we switched back to pampers and the rash immediately came back. P&G needs to accept responsibility and reformulate these diapers. There are too many infants/toddlers suffering.

I have been a loyal Pampers user for four years and two kids, until Dry Max. We had no problem with the first box--no leaks, no rash. Different story with the next box: My two-year old son now gets welts on the sides of his legs (where the tabs are). They are red, raised bumps that are itchy and have even bled. Also, the new absorbency is awful. It's fine during the day, but if he sleeps on his back, he wets through at night (which didn't happen with the older version). I have switched brands. I know it's the diapers causing the rash (I tried a few things to make sure).

I was changing my 8-week-old daughter's diaper using Pampers Swaddlers size 2. Upon opening the diaper, my mother and I spotted a piece of needle almost an inch long in the seam of the diaper. I did not feel safe using the rest of the box and buying diapers from Pampers brand again. It concerns me the extent of a wound my daughter could have suffered if we had not seen the piece of needle almost about 1/2 inch to an inch long. Now I'm wondering if there were any before in her diapers that actually stuck to her or touched her skin.

After switching to Pampers Dry Max from regular Pampers, my 15-month old granddaughter had welts and red bumps on her bottom. A baby that has never had diaper rash of any kind in her short life. She began fighting a diaper change, trying to remove her own diaper etc. We have switched to a different brand and overnight, the rash has improved. P&G, step up and take responsibility!

I began using Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max only a few days ago. Since then, my daughter has developed welts, dry and peeling skin. It is obviously painful because she screams when we go to change her diaper. I called Pampers today and reported the problem. They said they would reimburse me for the box of diapers.

My 6 month old daughter has had a terrible rash on her privates and inner thighs. I have tried applying ointments but no change in the rash. My mother called me tonight and told me she saw something on the local news about Pampers with Dry Max causing these horrible rashes. After realizing that I use these diapers for my daughter, she realized that it must be the cause. Unfortunately, I have bought an entire brand new case of Pampers. Now what? With no recall or anything I have almost 100 useless diapers. Not to mention the fact that I have to purchase another brand.

I just became aware of the Pampers Dry Max complaints. I had a few of these sent to me in the mail and tried them on my daughter. She broke out in a severe rash. She has been known to be sensitive, so I didn't think too much about it. I had always used regular Pampers. So now that I see the uproar of others with the same effect, I do believe this needs to be pulled off the market and further tested!

We have been using Pampers products for my one year old. We bought cruisers and they definitely have a problem. My son has started getting severe diaper rashes. At first, I thought this may be just a chance. We have started using Huggies and they are good. Please note, I would have never changed my brand if it were not for rashes. I used Pampers wipes but Huggies Diapers. Please do something about it.

I used diapers for the first 2 years of my son's life. He never once had a diaper rash. As soon as these Dry Max diapers came out, he began getting extremely bad diaper rashes. They are blisters and extremely painful. He screams every time I have to change his diaper. As soon as we switched to Huggies, he began to heal again.

The new Drymax diapers are not working for us. We have to use many more diapers, since they only last for about three hours. My nanny, hubbie and I all have found that they leak terribly. All in all, this is not a good product. I have switched brands. I had to use more diapers, which cost me more and also creates more landfill. Double the diapers = double the trash.

Since Pampers has switched to their new dry max brand, my son has had terrible diaper rash to the point of screaming during changes. We had to slather him with diaper cream to provide a barrier. Once switching from Pampers, my son no longer had the rash.

My daughter is 8 months old. About 2 months ago, I switched to pampers. My baby got this horrible rash. I thought it was a diaper rash until it started blistering up. We used Nistantin and Vaseline and changed her diet. I was finally told about the whole pamper thing. I switched back to Huggies and the rash is now clearing up! I've spent so much money using them trying to get rid of this rash! The diapers need to be taken off the shelf ASAP!

My five-month old daughter developed a bright red rash on her labia three weeks ago. Being a new mom, I assumed she had her first diaper rash and began treating it with Desitin. After a week, it was continuing to worsen and I brought her to the pediatrician. She said it was a "contact irritation" and prescribed an antifungal for the mild redness in her thigh area. Although I followed the doctor's instructions, the rash worsened and became blistered. Becoming desperate, I tried to remove things that were recently introduced into her diet. No resolution. The rash continued to worsen and spread. Oatmeal baths, changing diapers every 30 minutes, Desitin, A+D ointment, Aveeno diaper rash cream, California Babies diaper rash cream—nothing helped! (Not to mention the amount of money spent on different products).
We have used Pampers since she was in the hospital, but I just switched to size 3, which contained Dry Max. This past Sunday, I realized it must be the diapers and purchased Size 2 without Dry Max and the rash is starting to go away. Finally. I decided to look online and saw that this is a major problem for many people. I am thankful that I figured out the problem, but kinda upset that my doctor wasn't aware of this and we had to go through this for three weeks.

I love Pampers and they work for my son, however, my only complaint is that the tabs on the diapers come off too easily. I find myself putting tape on them just to keep them on. I have returned packs to get new ones, but there are always at least 2-3 diapers that are damaged. I don't want to switch brands, but I feel I might have to.
The only damage is that I have to waste money, because I can't get full use out of one diaper. I go through diaper quicker, because of the faulty tabs.

I used Pampers Drymax and my son now has 4-inch welt/burn where the diaper elastic was (both sides of the bottom and thigh areas). I called Pampers and they assured me it was not from them and there was no recall. However, they were quick to get my info and address, saying they will reimburse me and a member of their safety team will call me in two-three weeks!!! They also said they haven't had many complaints, but the internet has thousands. Why hasn't there been a recall when this is harming our kids?

My grandson, who almost never has diaper rash, has big blisters caused by Pampers Dry Max. The first time he developed blisters, we quit using them. He cleared up. Several weeks later, we decided to try again with the diapers we had left. He now has blisters again. They need to be removed from the shelf.

This was a 72 count of Pampers Baby Dry. Every one of them were frayed at the front where the pamper went across the belly because of this I had to change the baby before the pamper was fully used.

I bought Pampers Cruzers for my 20-month old baby. After wearing them for 4 hours, he had a huge painful welt on his butt. He was screaming, crying, and walking bow-legged. Pampers needs to recall the max dry's; they are soaking all the moisture from the baby!

My daughter had been using the Pampers Baby Dry diapers on my granddaughter for a long time, but this last pack caused major chemical burns/welts that are still appearing more than 3 days after discontinuing the diapers, and despite Prednisone and Benadryl. I don't know what they're putting in the diapers, but this has turned into a scary ordeal for us.

I just decided to try the Pampers Dry Max Cruisers for my 19 month old son and he came down with a terrible diaper rash. My new born also had a diaper rash from using Pampers Swaddles with Dry Max. Painful diaper rash for my 19 month old son and new born.

Pampers are causing burns and blisters on my grandchild. Pampers needs to recall all diapers.

When I heard about the issues with the new Pampers, I too thought that parents were overreacting. I live overseas and had not used the new Pampers (apparently my military commissary had a hefty supply of the old version). I recently traveled to the United States to visit family and bought the new Pampers Cruisers for my one year old. I have four children and have always used Pampers. I was so surprised to see any angry red burn type rash on my child that started about half way through the pack. It's not like a diaper rash but almost like a red burn/irritation formed where the urine was. It is not the entire diaper area just where the diaper with the urine touched the skin. I didn't want to believe it but the problem went away when I switched to Huggies. I wouldn't say my child was damaged as I quickly stopped using them. There is certainly something wrong with this product.

I have always used Pampers. I always used their old Cruisers diapers and was excited when the "Dry Max" was introduced. These diapers gave my son terrible welts on his bottom. I thought it could've been a number of different things so I treated the welts and hoped it would go away. After several weeks when these welts did not go away, I suspected the diapers. The welts turned into burn marks. I switched diaper brands to see if the cruisers were the issue. The welts/burns cleared up and his bottom was once again normal.
I tried the Cruiser diaper the other day, and by the next diaper change, the welts were back. This is not normal and I am sure by the time these are recalled and I will bet they will be; the damage or possible long term side effects will be too late. These diapers need to be recalled and a full investigation needs to happen. Why would a company like P&G have no disregard for babies? I will be honest if it was a product for me, I would probably just stop using and continue on, but when you are selling a product that could have possible chemical leakage/reaction to a baby? Something needs to happen.

I have used only Pampers Swaddlers and Baby Dry diapers for my sons entire 21 months of life. My son rarely gets a diaper rash. Only when he eats something acidic (like mandarin oranges) because I change his diaper often. I recently purchased a box of Pampers Cruisers Dry Max as they were on sale at my local Wal-Mart and they were out of the Baby Dry. I never put two and two together until now! My son did not get welts and bleeding blisters, but he did have a severe burn-like rash on the underside of his scrotum. I felt so bad for the little guy! I figured it was from something he ate, and painted on the diaper rash cream on him and on the diaper so there would be no friction. Now that I read this, I realize the rash subsided shortly after the box was gone and I opened a box of Baby Dry. I will continue to use the Baby Dry; however, these cruisers should be removed from the shelves!

My son is 17 months old. We have used only Pampers diapers since he was a newborn and never had an issue. I had heard that Pampers developed a new line of diapers with better absorbency. I purchased a large bin of #160 count, size 3 from a local Babies 'R Us. I started using these diapers a few days ago and noticed a horrible rash on my sons bottom area and under his scrotum. It looks almost like a burn with welts. He has never had a diaper rash as I change him very often. I had a feeling it must be the diapers.
I just went online to see if there has been any complaints about these particular diapers. I was amazed by how many people had the same problem! I just sent my husband out to buy another brand. Is there anyone else that I need to complain to about my experience? Do I go directly to Pampers company? I am outraged that my son has to suffer with this rash! These diapers need to be taken off the market!
My son has to suffer with this horrible burn-like rash! I just purchased a large bin of #160 count for $45.00 I would like to have my money back. These diapers should be off the market! I feel bad for my son who is the one suffering!

I purchased Pampers DryMax for my 18-month old son. He looks like he has third degree burns on his butt along with a rash and pimples. This never happened with any other diaper. My son is in real pain. His butt is swollen and bruised with blisters and redness and a rash.

The new Pampers diapers are awful! I have used Pampers on all four of my children and have never had a single problem. They have always been the only brand of diapers that sufficiently absorb and they are very comfy for the children as well. I currently have two in diapers and about two weeks after the first box of "new" Pampers I bought in March, my two-year-old developed a severe rash. It was like nothing I had seen before on any of my children. I took him to the doctor three different times--the first two times, they prescribed some creams for me to use. The creams made it worse. By the third time we went, the blisters were open and bleeding and the doctor suspected that he might be allergic to something in the diaper and suggested we switch for a week or two to see if it helped. (I found this odd since he had been wearing Pampers for two years and never had a problem.)
Well, we switched to a different brand and the rash cleared within three days. Not really thinking the diapers had caused the rash, I went back to my beloved Pampers as soon as the rash was gone. Three days later, another rash. Then 11 days later, my youngest son, five-months-old, got the same rash. I have switched them both to a different brand and they have not had the problem since. My two-year-old has a small scar left on his bottom from the open wounds of the rashes. The new diapers I am using do not absorb as well as the "old" Pampers Cruisers and Swaddlers did; however the "new" Pampers Cruisers & Swaddlers lost a lot of the absorbency (and appeal) when they removed the mesh liner out of them!
What is Pampers thinking? They had the hands-down best diaper out there and they had to go and change to a diaper that is not as absorbent and is giving kids awful rashes.

The new Pampers cruisers are giving my son a rash. I have used Pampers with all 3 of my children and have never seen this before.

Approximately 4 months ago, I started noticing a type of diaper rash on my son. It wasn't normal. I have a daughter who is 8 and I never experienced anything like it before. It was little red dots all over his bottom along with a raised blister like rash. I took him to the emergency room. They prescribed me with some Nystatin to clear it up. This did not work. It would clear up on its own, and then it would come out of nowhere. One time, I changed him around 6. Then went to change him again around 7 for his bath, his diaper was hardly pee'd in, but he had a full blown raised blister like rash.
The doctors told me I was overreacting when I explained to them that I knew it was not a diaper rash. I even called his regular pediatrician about it, and they said to try changing the rash cream I was using. This did not work either. This last incident was the worst. I went to change his diaper on 6/12/10. He had already had one diaper change this day and he had no rashes or marks on his bottom at all. I went to change him for the 2nd time, and he had two open sore blisters, one on each butt cheek. I knew right then something was really not right. So I started Googling information on rashes, and found all the sites on Pampers diapers and what the dilemma has been. I flipped out. My son has used nothing but Pampers since he was born on May 1, 2009. And he had never had a single rash until around the end of February this year.

Since my son was born June of 2008, I have always used Pampers diapers. We had never had a problem with them and I was always pleased. Until about 3 or 4 months ago when he developed a horrible red burn-like spot on his bottom. I was aware that the diapers I was using now came with a new DRY MAX technology but still I did not suspect that was the cause.
I took him to the doctor on 3 different occasions and received medication for him, but it did not go away. Then I saw on the news that there were other people having the same problem that were using the same diaper. Since then I have discontinued use of the diapers and the burn is now fading. My son was in excruciating pain during diaper changes. Even the water during his bath irritated him so badly that he would scream in pain. He was grabbing at his back side and whining throughout the day.

Over the past few weeks, we have been battling a "diaper rash", or so we thought, with my daughter. After endless attempts at different diaper rash creams, we found out that it is a terrible, yeasty rash resulting from the use of Pampers Cruisers. The DryMax that "holds in moisture" holds the moisture a little too close, resulting in a fire red diaper rash that leads to yeast. I used to only buy Pampers because they fit so well, but no longer will I do that. The pain this causes my daughter brings tears to my eyes at every diaper change. This product needs to be recalled immediately!

My daughter has a severe diaper rash. I noticed a rash starting the day we ran out and had to buy new diapers. Diaper rashes are normal, but hers have always cleared up quickly, but instead this time, it has continued to get worse. Yesterday (day 5 of her rash), I noticed she had whelps and raised bumps. This really concerned me and I started asking my friends about what I should do. That is when my friend told me that she had the same situation just this past weekend and believed it was due to the Pampers Diapers her child wears. I have switched all her diapers out to Huggies. I am very disappointed. My daughter is 14 months old and I have always loved and trusted Pampers, but now I am very concerned about using them again.

I opened a new box of Pampers Cruisers with Dry Max and placed one on my 22-month-old son. Almost immediately, he started developing hives in his diaper area that quickly spread all over his body. He was miserable scratching his self raw and causing blisters. My son has no allergies, and we were stumped to find a cause to this problem. We treated the hives with antihistamines and eventually steroids. No treatment would clear the hives in the diaper area. Remembering the complaints about the Dry Max, I switched my son over to Huggies. Almost immediately, the hives disappeared.

My son has been using Pampers diapers for a long time and we have always had problems with what we thought was a "diaper rash". But now I have found out that is is actually a chemical burn. Pampers needs to fix this and realize that there is a problem. He has an extremely red bottom, sometimes it would bleed.

We have used Pampers diapers for our daughter since she was born. Recently, she had broken out in a rash that could not be healed with any diaper rash ointments available. We consulted with her pediatrician who initially thought it was a yeast rash. After attempting to treat this "yeast" rash, we realized it was not healing at all. I had begun to wonder if it was the diapers.
We switched to Kirkland (Costco) brand diapers and immediately noticed a change. It was at this time reports were coming out about Pampers diapers causing chemical burns and rashes. The chemical burn and rash symptoms were exactly what our daughter was experiencing. She would become extremely fussy just as she realized she was getting her diaper changed. It was difficult to bathe her and for her to sit and play. Any pressure on the bottom area would affect her. After the rash eventually healed, scarring occurred and still exists.

My two and a half year old grandson has worn Pampers since birth. He has never had a big problem with diaper rash, even as an infant. I bought a large package of the new Dry Max Pampers, thinking they sounded great, and trusting that brand name. He soon started crying whenever we tried to wipe him after a diaper change, and was red and raw looking. This went on for weeks, he wouldn't even sit down in the bathtub, and his favorite activity, his bath, became torture for him. Luckily, his father saw something about the Pamper Dry Max problems, and we switched him to Huggies just in case. I really didn't think it would make a difference. But within a few days, there was a noticeable improvement, and within a week it was gone and did not come back. I threw all of the Dry Max diapers out, and will not use any Pampers again ever!
I was out the $25 for the diapers, but more importantly, my grandson suffered a setback, and all of his family suffered through a very bad month with him. I shudder to think what would have happened if his father hadn't seen the news blip about the problems. I would never had suspected the Pampers.

We normally use and continue to use Pampers Baby Dry and in 10 months, she has only had one rash. But, one occasion, we bought the Dry Max type. There was an almost instant reaction as soon as she was wearing it and got wet. Lots of screaming. Fortunately, my caregiver recognized something was wrong and immediately put her in a bath of cold water. Unfortunately, she did not know it was the diapers and put another one on. When I returned a couple hours later, she told me about the event and the severe rash. When I looked at my daughter's bottom, it was unlike any rash I had seen before. Fortunately, I had heard about the Dry Max causing problems and threw out the rest of the package. There hasn't been a rash since but you can still see where it occurred. I am shocked to see that Pampers did not do a recall. There is no doubt in my mind that there was a problem with the diaper. It is horrible that they would deny the problem and let babies suffer. Baby's bottom had a severe rash that left scarring which will hopefully disappear over time.

Within two days of my twins switching to Pampers with the dry max they both had hot rashes/ blisters. At the time we didn't know it was the Pampers. We took them to the pediatrician when the skin started peeling off of my daughter's buttocks and vagina. My daughter ended up with MRSA and placed on antibiotics three times a day and antibiotic cream. She cried for days anytime we tried to change her diaper. My son did the same but without the MRSA (we were lucky). We immediately switched to cloth diapers and within days my son cleared up, but my daughter took almost a month to heal completely!
She has scars on her legs, vagina and buttocks. Most recently we had to use some Pampers we had left over (ones we didn't give away). I put them on the twins at 3 p.m. and by 9 p.m. I was back in the E.R. Within the six hours my daughter had hers on, the skin blistered and peeled off, leaving blood in her diaper. The doctor explained to me they were burns but he could not say or put it on paper that it was from the Pampers because Pampers are the ones who supply their hospital with diapers.

We have been using Pampers on my daughter since January 2009. We loved the Swaddlers and kept her in them until she reached the limit. Ever since Pampers came out with Dry Max version, I have disliked them to say the least. The Pampers drooped as if she was soaking wet. Her perineal area would be wet after only about one hour (which never used to happen). I brought another box thinking I had a "bad batch", but I encountered the same issues with the second. My daughter broke out with what looked like a yeast rash that lasted. I was extremely diligent with her care, but I was convinced before a report came out that it was indeed this Dry Max diaper causing all of these problems. I have since switched to Huggies.

I bought some Pampers Cruisers Dry Max. I was impressed by the claims in the ads and was looking forward to using them. During the time that I used about the first half of the package, my son developed a large red rash with areas where the skin peeled away and exposed raw open wounds. He was in a great amount of pain. I tried about four different types of diaper rash creams/ointments. Nothing worked. I had purchased some other diapers (generic from a local store). While using them, the rash went away. I did not realize there was a connection at that time.
Eventually, I did grab another Pampers diaper. Within one hour, my son had already developed a severe rash. I am convinced that it was the Pamper Cruisers diapers that caused all of my son's injuries. I have tried a few different brands since then and he has had no other negative reactions. I have stopped using the Pampers and I want to make sure that others are informed of the risks of using them.

A few weeks ago, we bought some Pampers to use on our 2-1/2 year old son during the night. He had been using off-brand diapers previously, but we'd used Pampers on him up until November of 2009. He never had any problems with the old Pampers. But after a few nights of wearing these new Pampers, he started developing a red rash. It wasn't a diaper rash. Desitin did nothing for it and it just spread. We didn't suspect the Pampers until one day we used one on him during the day. After just a couple of hours, his bottom was covered in blisters and welts. Now all of his skin is peeling off and he is in terrible pain. When I learned about the Pampers new diapers causing these problems, it made sense. We realized it was the diaper that very day. He's going to the doctor first thing in the morning to be examined and to hopefully find a prescription cream for this specific type of injury. We are all very upset about this, and hope Pampers will suffer the consequences. We will never use their products again.

I have used Pampers diapers exclusively for my children. Now after using the Cruisers Dry Max for about 2 weeks, after 2 days my daughter's bottom broke out in a horrible rash. It's not diaper rash but some awful break out of sores everywhere the diaper had contact - waist, thigh and bottom.

I'm the one who uses Pampers wipes. I am a 43 year old with a sensitive anus. I used to buy the Aloe unscented wipes but haven't seen those at the Wal-Mart in Great Falls for a long time so I've been buying the regular unscented. Well now your product has changed again to "thick care". I hate this product. I will not be buying it again unless they change it back to what it used to be. This new product is not soft. It is dry and too thick and feels like sandpaper. I do like the pop-up package. That is the only thing I like about it. I also buy the boxers in bulk. I think this last time there were seven packages in the box. You could fit one more in the box to be greener, you know! Why do you leave the space empty when you can add just one more to fill up the box?
Unless they go back to what they had, I will not be buying their product any longer.

My daughter was born in Feb. 2010 and immediately started using Pampers Swaddlers with Dry Max. Within one week she developed a sore (cigarette burn like) on her right buttocks the size of a pencil eraser. Within a week the sore grew to the size of a quarter. With several appointments with her doctor, dermatologist, and RX medications, nothing has worked. She was admitted into immediate surgery to close up the wound with three different surgeries in 5 days. She eventually outgrew the Swaddlers and we put her into the Huggies we stocked up on before she was born.
Now at three months, the sore is slowly getting better. She has major scarring on her butt because of the sores and has gone through extreme pain (emotionally and physically) because of what the diapers did. She screams terribly every time she goes to the bathroom because of the gaping wound! Something needs to be done about this and action needs to be taken against Pampers for allowing these types of things to go on this long. I contacted Pampers and have yet to receive a response. I will be contacting legal counsel on this matter. If need be, I have several pictures and documentation from doctors regarding the sore.

My son has always gone between the Pamper cruisers and Huggies. A few weeks ago I switched him to these diapers. Within a week I noticed a rash that looked almost like a burn, it had welts and very red. I used destin and nothing changed, it was affecting his penis and buttocks. I used several different creams and stopped use of diaper wipes. It got so severe his penis was covered and looked like it was burned and welted. He screamed when urinating and getting changed. He has seen two doctors and a urologist. His pediatrician had told us about some issues that Pamper users had been dealing with and we stopped using them. Within two days he was already looking better. I like using Pampers and have never had an issue until these new dry max came out. I really hope that something can be resolved.

My seven and a half month old daughter had never had any form of diaper rash since she was born. We had been using Pampers exclusively for daytime use, and Huggies Overnights for her overnight diaper. When Pampers switched to their new Dry Max diapers, I bought a package of Pampers version of nighttime diapers and within one night, my daughter had what appeared to be chemical burns on each side of her buttocks. They were bright red, blistery, and she cried whenever I would wipe the area with Pampers wipes. I immediately switched back to Huggies Overnights until the rash cleared itself. Since I had purchased a large package of Pampers nighttime diapers, I tried it again and the next morning, the rash was back. I threw out the rest of the Pampers nighttime diapers and will not ever put them on her again. Poor baby is still recovering five days later. The rash is still not gone yet!

About a month and a half ago, we were using Pampers Cruisers diapers and my little girl started having rashes all over her private parts and on her bottom. I applied every diaper rash ointment and paste I could find in the stores, but with little to zero effect. It wouldn't go away even with the extra care so I had to take her to the doctor. He suggested she had a yeast infection, but how come if we keep her so clean and washed all the time? Anyway, they prescribed a medical grade paste which at the end took care of her blisters, but the process took over two weeks just to start healing! Even today I can still see the slight marks of the blisters on her bottom where they used to be! I hope in a month or so even those marks would heal and disappear completely. I have used Pampers diapers ever since she was a baby, but for my next one, I will not consider this brand at all! Huggies are better and recently, they have these organic cotton diapers which really made the difference for my little one after the Pampers experience.

I have always used Pampers since my first child and now was using Pampers on my second. When we switched to the new Pampers I didn't think Pampers was causing little red blisters on my little girl privates. We took her to the doctor and he said she might have some sort of yeast infection and gave us 2 types of creams to put on it. Didn't help at all! She been having these blisters and bumps for a month now! It's been so nerve wrecking not to know what is causing it!
Came on this site today and now I see! I can't believe Pampers was causing her discomfort along! I'm so happy to read this, now I know and won't ever go back to Pampers! I bought a pack today and taking it back for a refund! I was loyal customer, maybe too loyal to not notice it could be the Pampers over a month ago! She have red blisters and a rash on her private for over a month now. Cried when she got her diaper changed. Had no ideal it was from Pampers after all this time! I have been so confused and stressed trying to figure out why her rash wouldn't go away and her being in pain!

My daughter got a really bad diaper rash, that lasted until I put a Huggies brand diaper on her. I had always used Pampers on her, it's just been this new box I bought with the dry max. She's never had diaper rashes before I put her in the new Pampers. I have a whole case of size 3 Pampers cruiser and I want my money back, however I opened the box and tossed the box it came in. Every time I put the Pampers on my 8 month old, she gets another rash.

We used to use Swaddlers with the little blue line, and never had an issue. I just purchased a couple of boxes of dry max in March, size 2-3, and since then, my daughter has had red rashes all over, wherever the diaper touches. She also had open blisters on her thighs. After using lots of Desitin, and changing back to a mix of Costco Kirkland diapers and size 2 Swaddlers without dry max (older ones), the open sores have gone away, but she still has the rash everywhere the diaper touches.

On May 15th, my 14-month old daughter woke from her nap screaming. She grabbed my arms and squeezed them like she was begging me to fix whatever it was that was hurting her. Unfortunately, it took 20 minutes of screaming before I figured it out. Once I took her diaper off, I wanted to cry with her. She was beet red with spots that were close to bleeding. Her legs just shook when I tried to wipe her. I tried a prescription cream for four days with no relief and wound up buying every diaper rash product on the shelf to see what would help her. She would take off running after I would get her diaper off. I had to leave her bare bottomed or in panties for four days until it cleared. I primarily use Huggies but have used a bag of Pampers every so often and her rash has only appeared every so often. Now, I know it is Pampers causing the rash and I will not use that brand again. I cannot put my baby through that again!

My nine-month old daughter got severe diaper rash when she started using the new Pampers Cruisers. I switched diapers and it cleared up. Just to be sure, I went back to the Cruisers and within 24 hours she had severe blisters again. I am now using Luvs and have not had any problems. Unfortunately, I still have almost an entire box of the Cruisers.

I have been a loyal Pampers user for over three years. However, I will now have to switch to Huggies. Since Pampers came out with their dry max diaper, my 15-month old has a horrible diaper rash that won't go away with regular diaper rash ointment. I am very disappointed with Pampers. My poor little baby keeps scratching herself trying to get relief. I didn't know it was the diaper until a day ago when I heard about the recall.

I have been a long time customer of Pampers' products. I have two children. A new born daughter who has not used the new diapers. My son has been in Pampers since birth. He is now almost two. He has never had issues with rashes up until a few months ago when I introduced the new Pampers Cruisers to him. All of a sudden he developed severe rashes all over his bottom that started spreading to his private area. At first we thought it was a bad diaper rash. However, it kept getting worse. We went to the doctor several times. The doctor put him on different antibiotic creams and oral meds. Nothing worked. The rashes kept getting more severe. They covered large areas of his bottom. They were raised, bright red, warm to the touch and at times bleed.
The doctor referred us to a dermatologist. Do you know what it's like to carry your child to his changing table and see the look on his face when he realizes what you are about to do? He would scream, cry and kick and break out into a sweat because he knew how much pain changing his diaper was. He would cry so hard and be in so much pain he would eventually go to sleep after changing his diaper. His screams were gut-wrenching and heart-breaking. I soon came across an article about similar problems parents had with the new Pampers. I instantly started putting together a timeline and realized that all of my son's issues with this so-called rash soon began with the new diapers. I went out and bought a different brand of diapers that day. Would you believe that in a matter of days the rashes went away? Well, they did.
Now, Pampers may say that their new diapers are safe and is not the reason why all of these children are coming down with these terrible rashes. However, I choose to see the results in my son's eyes. I think these so-called experts at Pampers needs to open their own eyes and look into the eyes of an innocent child and see the pain when their parent is walking them to their changing table. Then tell me there isn't an issue with their diapers. I don't care about the loss of money. I would gladly pay whatever I need to for the safety and care of my child. All I want is for Pampers to re-evaluate their "new" product. Something is wrong with it and it is causing all of these issues. My son had not had another rash since changing his brand of diapers. Nor has he fought me tooth and nail or broke out into a sweat when changing his diaper. Not seeing fear in my son's eyes is enough. However, something needs to be done and Pampers needs to take responsibility for their product.

My daughter has used pampers since birth and will be 7 months old on May 27th. When pampers came out with their "dry max" technology, I loaded up on the swaddlers that were quickly on clearance that did not have the new "dry max" in them. However, we have since had to purchase more diapers in which you can only find the new "dry max".
She now has a horrible red rash from the diaper. She has only had 1 rash in the 7 months of birth, and now we have seen 2 rashes since changing to these new "dry max" diapers. I am very disappointed as I was a very loyal pampers purchaser. Sadly, we are now officially on the hunt for a new diaper brand!

I have been battling an awful rash contained to the diaper area, with my 16 month old son. I have tried every diaper rash medicine, including prescription Nystatin cream, 1% Cortisone cream, Monistat cream, Lotrimin anti-fungal cream, and medicated powder over the last 2 weeks. The rash only continued to get worse, and spread up to his belly button, and around his side, wherever his diaper made contact with his skin, and confined to only that area.
Finally, after feeling very stressed that nothing was working, I consulted an ER physician, and even she said the rash didn't look like any other she had seen. They were almost like bright red little bites everywhere! The next day, one of the nurses I work with, mentioned something about the possible Pampers Dry Max recall, and as soon as I researched it.
The exact diapers that my son has been wearing popped up on my screen, begging for something to soothe this rash, I immediately had my husband run out and buy basic Huggies diapers. That night, my husband bathed our son as usual, and applied the 1% Cortisone cream to this awful rash, and the Huggies diaper. The next morning, when he woke up, I immediately changed his diaper, and the rash was very noticeably improved, less red, and the bumps were smaller.
Not only do I have 2 full bags of these Pampers diapers that we had purchased, but we also had to spend extra money to get a different type of diapers. Also, the rash looks so awfully red and uncomfortable. I can't blame my son for being whiney and more fussy lately. It has been very stressful on me as a mother, knowing that I am doing everything I can possibly do, to clear up this rash, and nothing was working.

My 22 month old son broke about in a severe diaper rash. He screamed and cried every time he had a bowl movement or urinated. My husband and I tried everything to cure it but the rash only got worse until a friend told me about others having problems with the dry max diaper. I changed diapers and within a day, the rash was almost gone.
