Baby rubber pants... (old-fashioned cloth diapers)

Anyone else remember elastic gather rash from rubber pants? Where said kid sported red rings around the tops of their legs from the elastics?

My kids wore permanent rings! LOL!

Rings were always worse when said child spent extra time in wet diapers and they weren't changed promptly, because the wet diapers often resulted in damp or wet elastics.

When diapers were really wet I usually changed the rubber pants out for a fresh clean new pair.

Courtesy of posting a few old-fashioned retro things in another thread topic this morning, I couldn't help myself over resurrecting this conversation and adding to it.

Those unsightly pinkish/purple stains that happened around the elastic leg holes and seat of rubber pants after a bout with diarrhea. Always so much more worse looking with white rubber pants.

Once stained, pants were stained for good. No amount of laundering or bleaching removed them.
