Diaper rash is one of the most common — and most frustrating — parts of life with little ones. The good news: most rashes are triggered by things you can actually change. Bammies was founded by a parent whose baby had exactly this problem, so this page is written with some experience behind it.
What usually triggers diaper rash
Moisture against the skin, friction from a diaper that doesn't fit right, contact with urine and stool, and sometimes perfumes, lotions or materials that don't let air through. It's often several things at once — which is why it helps to work on more than one front.
What tends to help
- Change often — every two to three hours during the day, and right away after a poop
- Air time every day — diaper-free moments often do more than creams
- Fragrance-free everything — diaper, wipes and laundry detergent
- A diaper that breathes — 100% bamboo against the skin keeps things drier and lets air through
- The right size — a poor fit means friction, and friction means rashes
Many parents tell us the same thing
A pattern keeps coming up in our reviews: the rash cleared after switching to bamboo — and when the diapers ran out and another diaper had to step in, the redness came back within a few days. We can't promise it'll go that way for every child. But the pattern is clear enough to be worth a try. Important: persistent or severe rashes should always be seen by your child health clinic or a doctor — a diaper removes triggers, it doesn't replace care.
Start small
Begin with a sample kit of 3 diapers and see how the skin responds over a few days. Need a different size? We'll send free samples until the fit is right — start with the size guide.
