Anyone with "Baby tan-lines" in diaper area?

Did everyone else notice babies sometimes have "tan lines" on their tush?
My little girl Lexa had it as a baby. Since it was mostly summer time we were joking she went out to the beach while we were sleeping. As it turned out it's the bleach in the diapers (to make them snow white) that made her like that. After seeing our son with the same stuff (even tho he was born in winter and was always bundled) we switched to chlorine-free diaper. I got mine online for good price (just a bit more than normal ones, plus they have discount for first time customer), it's so soft and comfy, and Hayden's "tan line" is gradually disappearing now that it's been a couple of weeks. Just wanted to share...

What! I didn't even notice. I'll have to take a closer look at the next diaper change.

Actually, the chlorine is a lot of times what can cause diaper rash too. This is why I cloth diaper Chloe, but if we have to use disposables, I get the Seventh Generation chlorine-free ones too.

duh, I can't believe I didn't know about it all this while, Julia. I never even heard of chlorine in diapers till recently. :( My poor Lexa who lived almost 2 years with that. I just love 7th generation now.
