There are a few that are okay but most no you can't unless you get liners and use them. The diaper cream will get on the diaper and cause it to repel and stain ect so you can't use them. We use coconut oil which is safe. Does your baby get rashes a lot?
just on his butt whole a lot. But I used triple cream and it has went away. But I just started the cloth. so I'm not using anything and he is okay so far. @californiahaley
On cotton or hemp diapers, you can generally use any type of diaper cream without issue, including products like Vaseline and Desitin. They may cause minor staining that will wash out. However, on synthetic fiber diapers, petroleum based products can cause bad staining and even worse, can cause diapers to repel moisture rather than absorb.
If your diapers are stained or repelling due to petroleum based cream, apply some dish soap to the diaper and scrub gently. Rinse well before washing, as dish soap should never go into a washing machine.
If you need to use a petroleum based cream on synthetic fabric diapers, you can line the diaper with a piece of cloth such as a cut up tee shirt, or a viva paper towel. Disposable liners can also work, but may allow some cream through.
Some popular brands of cloth safe diaper cream include the green tube of Boudreux Natural Butt Paste, Angel Baby, CJ’s BUTTer, California Baby, Burt’s Bees Multipurpose Ointment, Grandma El’s, Arbonne, and many more. Many people like to use unrefined coconut oil in place of rash cream.
Many diaper creams contain zinc or beeswax. These may cause minor staining, but it will generally wash out. Creams with zinc and beeswax are considered cloth diaper safe.

I was told that there's a diaper cream safe for cloth. Boudreaux's butt paste, I think.
