Although cloth diapers greatly limit the amount of diaper rashes your little one may come across eventually you may need to treat a diaper rash. Zinc oxide is the primary ingredient in most diaper rash ointments. Not only can zinc oxide stain your diapers leaving greasy dark marks zinc oxide can also cause your diapers to repel urine.
There are multiple ways to get around causing irreparable damage to your diapers. First off if you only have access to zinc oxide based diaper rash ointments use a liner. You can either purchase disposable liners or make your own out of left over flannel receiving blankets. This puts a barrier of cloth between the cream and the diaper. (If you choose washable liners wash separately from your regular diaper laundry.)
Use can also switch to a non zinc oxide diaper rash cream. Here are some creams to try that are cloth friendly.
