Babies naturally have sensitive skin, some more than others. Often the chemicals, dyes, and perfumes in disposables irritate baby's bottom. As the use of disposable diapers became more widespread, so did diaper rash. In 1955, before disposable diapers, only about 7% of American babies suffered from diaper rash. By 1998, when 90% of the babies were wearing disposables, diaper rash occurrence had increased to 78%. Some of the reasons include allergies to chemicals, lack of air circulation, higher temperatures and the fact that babies are changed less often because disposables feel dry to the touch even when they have been well used. Also, even if a diaper keeps wetness away from a baby's skin, any bacteria present can still grow (faster, sometimes, because of the heat) causing problems.
