Yeah, maybe, that's what I do. I typically don't even bother with rash ointments/creams or powder- unless I'm starting to develop a rash.
However, when I first went with diapers 24/7, I was very prone to getting rashes. Back then I did need to use more supplies to abate and pre-empt my rashes.
Since everyone is different, you're going to have to figure out what works best for you, and when it's necessary for you to apply the creams and ointments- or when not too. Either way, powder and vaseline alone is not the right approach.
