Oh yes, bleaching and line-drying went hand-in-hand in my home, too, when it came to the rubber pants, and my kids got diaper rash occasionally, too. What I loved about rubber pants, is I could busy myself doing household chores and things (in and around the house) without having to worry about changing a kid the instant they were wet.
LOL! I got so efficient at checking diapers, I could pluck said kid from the floor while they were in full-stride, and using one arm to hook them under their tummy, I'd lift them up in the air, pull back the waistband of their rubber pants, check their diaper, and plop them back down on the floor again, and away they'd go, no interruptions, no down-time, no nothing, everything done at full-speed!
