Boudreaux’s + A Giveaway.


Butt Paste.”

“You have got to be kidding me.  It’s called Butt Paste?”  That was my response to her recommendation. I laughed at the name, though it certainly made clear its intended use. I had tried seemingly everything. One famous diaper cream had left Finnegan screaming in agony when I put it on. I couldn’t wipe it off fast enough and you guessed it, more screaming. Another, a natural brand, hadn’t even touched it. We tried baths. We {with wet results} had let him run around in his nudie butt. His skin was still bright red, chapped, and looked incredibly painful.

We were lucky that we had avoided any major diaper rash until toddlerhood. Winter weather, coupled with soaking toddler diapers, and an antibiotic for an ear infection had brought it on in full force.   It was like Rashadon attacking Butt City.

{Visit the Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Facebook page!}

Once he had it, it was a vicious cycle of wet diapers, more pain, and more attempts at trying to fix it. As a first time mom, you never want to feel helpless or see your child hurting. I didn’t know what to do, so I asked a friend. She didn’t just recommend Butt Paste, she raved about it.

So we tried it.

It worked so well that I am now the raving mom recommending it to my friends. I tell every new mom to add it to their ‘must have’ list. Registry or not, I buy it for every baby shower I’m invited to. It is that good.
Seventeen months and Tate has only had diaper rash once. Normally, if I see a hint of redness I put a little bit on proactively, but we were out... not a mistake I’ll make again.  Same scenario as her big brother, winter weather brought with it a cold and diaper rash. That meant misery for our baby girl.  Luckily, twenty four hours of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste at each diaper change and it was completely gone. No screaming, no crying, no prolonged trying to figure out what to do, just one simple cream with a funny name.

I knew it must have done its job when I caught her playing Mama and pretending to put it on her baby doll’s diaper.

  1. I loved Budreaux's for my kiddos, too! And I am pretty sure I had the same exact reaction to the name. But man, that stuff works.

  3. Boy, I never thought I'd say this, but that butt cream sounds pretty nice.

    We luckily didn't struggle see much diaper rash for the boys, but whenver they had a touch of it, I'd bathe them without soap, just water, and never put the diaper on when their skin was still damp. We'd let them air dry for several minutes before putting the diapers back on.

    Also lots of time with no diaper helped prevent it too... but that's hard in winter, I guess!

  4. I always give a tube with my gifts for new mommies!

  5. I tried Boudreaux's when Chloe was a wee one, looking for alternatives to our regular diaper cream when she'd unfortunately come home from daycare with rashes... I've never looked back. It's a really great product that works well and quickly ... most of the time it clears up even a really bad rash overnight. I also recommend it to new moms as a "must have" diaper rash eliminator, and I give it as a gift quite often.

  6. My son is 18, but I (and he) lived to tell you that Butt Paste saved us several times when he was a wee one in diapers. Best diaper rash treatment and prevention ever!

  7. Besides using barrier creams, we would let them run air out without a diaper on for a little while.

  9. I originally starting buying Butt Paste because of the name just to get a laugh at the various Baby Showers I went to. People thought it was hilarious. Then they started to tell me how wonderful it was compared to other brands. Definitely using this on my kiddo once she is here!

  10. I absolutely love Butt Paste!! No product out there compares. My youngest was put on Augmentin after his ear tube surgery and got a SEVERE diaper rash. We tried everything... coconut oil, vinegar & water spray (which I don't recommend!) and although we ended up with prescription cream, the butt paste was the only thing that would even touch it until we got to the doctor. I swear by this stuff!!! I tell all new moms about it and like most of you, I always buy it for a shower gift!!!!

  11. Actually we used A&D. That's what I knew with Ava and it worked. Luckily (knock on wood) we've never had too big of an issue with Allie!

  12. I just got the tub of Boudreaux's with my second and I love it so much more than the tube, no squeezing and such while baby is wiggling around! I was introuduced to Boudreaux's by my Louisiana living sister with my first and that is all we use in this house! Not to mention it smells better than any other diaper rash cream!

  32. My "baby" is now 14 but I remember the quickest way to cure her rashes were letting her air out in front of a small fan that I kept on her changing table...she loved that, especially in hot weather. Then some cream and powder and bam...diaper rash was always gone pretty quickly.

    ReplyDelete
  33. I provided my son with a lot of free range, no-diaper time. I'd put down a bunch of towels in the living room and let him crawl around naked. It worked like a charm. He rarely experienced rashes after that.

  49. With Roxy having chronic ear infections and being on antibiotics a lot, we keep Butt Paste on hand. It is the best for diaper rash. At my baby shower, I thought it was a joke when I pulled it out of the bag, but over the last three years, we have bought our fair share. I love it. It really is the only recommendation for a new mom! Which reminds me, I need to go buy some for my brother and SIL before my niece gets here :)

  63. Is this judged by quality of comment? If so, I'm about to win this thing.

    You know where else you can use Boudreaux's Butt Paste? Your babies neck. Yep.

    You know how babies like to be sloppy eaters and let the milk run all over their face and into those many, many folds of their chubby little necks? You know how the milk likes to hang out there and try to make cheese, but only succeeds in making a nasty neck-cheese rash?

    Boudreaux's butt paste to the rescue. No neck-cheese rash is safe from its wrath.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I start applying diaper cream as soon as I see redness started in the diaper area. It's way too late when the rash is already appearing. I think Boudreaux’s Butt Paste works the best for me. The rash will be all gone after a day.

  72. I know this is a Butt Paste giveaway but in my experience the purple Desitin was always the fastest and best relief for my kids (I did use Butt paste with my first). However, with baby #3 he got a diaper rash on day three if you can believe it! Between those first nasty poops and my milk coming in more quickly his butt was on fire right away. My doc recommended Aquaphor and I did use that this time around. It definitely created a barrier unlike the other creams and healed very quickly. I am all about natural creams as much as possible but when things are really bad I rely on Aquaphor now.
