nappy creams

This is a list of readily available nappy creams and powders, that we have rated from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent) according to their suitability for use with our nappies.  If you use a cream that has a poor rating but it works well for your baby then just remember to use a liner to protect the nappy and to throw the liner away after use.  If you wash the liner with the nappies it will contaminate the washing water with the cream.  All creams and powders rating from 4 and above are fine without a liner.  If you use a cream we don't have listed please email us and tell us what you think about it.
