    The PAMPERS DRY MAX DIAPERS probably contain substances derived from corn or waste from the corn industry, and that could be causing the severe skin rashes. Many people are allergic to corn, and do react to contact with products that are made from it, or contain corn derivatives. I have been allergic to corn my whole life, and can not use pads, or other things that contain corn. I get a killer rash from it, along with severe allergic reactions. The Dry Max diapers could contain toxic chemicals or other severe skin irritants. Most likely, the company does know, or suspects what the problem is, but is refusing to admit it. They should do the right thing, and warn people that may use the diapers on their babies, that they can cause a rash.

Have something to share?
