thanks for all your suggestions!'

well we have a big range, mostly pockets for day, fleece or minky or pul outers; fleece inners; hidden elastics. different brands, and i've tried having them loose around the legs, but still.
so it could be the fleece sensitivity, because it's there with non-pul fleece nappies too.

we use cloth wipes, just an organic baby bath solution.

i'm going to try prefolds for a while; haven't got any but i could get some non-terry cotton ones i guess, and change often, under flongies.
because i think the friction thing is probably the big factor.. he walks around pretty much non-stop

sigh.. ok off to research flats..
