Oh heavens, I think one of my first posts on TE was about how in the world to get Desitin diaper rash ointment out of my bike shorts chamois. I even went to their web site, etc. My shorts are still in the closet ruined. Mine started to seep through on the black and I had skunk butt. It did indeed help the skin. I used it on my kids religiously, and it stuck to their skin like glue (in a good way). But, if I got it on the onsie... clothes toast. Now, I just use regular Chamois Buter. It doesn't last like Desitin, but I carry the packets, and put A LOT on to start.
