Look What I Found! Butt Paste!
One of the first baby products I ever received was a big, giant tub of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. I remember it so well. Ahhh…memories… It was at my very first shower when I was pregnant with Michael, and a girlfriend gave it to me as a joke because it had “butt paste” in the name. (You know you’ve had children too young when phrases like “butt paste” make you explode in fits of giggles!)
Michael hardly ever had diaper rash. Like, ever. In fact, I don’t think he had it once. And so my giant tub of Butt Paste sat unused in his closet. By the time Gracie was born, it had disappeared in one of our moves. Gracie was a completely different story when it came to diaper rash. That poor child hardly ever DOESN’T have diaper rash. One good diaper and her poor little bottom looks like a 17-year-old face with acne. Oh, it’s terrible! Big ol’ welts all over! I’m not sure if it’s a girl thing or a Gracie thing, but girlfriend has some issues! We tried several different methods of fighting diaper rash, but one of the most effective methods we have found is using diaper cream before diaper rash is a problem. We use it every night for Gracie, or any period of time when I know it might be a bit longer between regular diaper changes (ex. out running errands and on trips). This is preventative and helps us avoid the situation in the first place most of the time. I also use it any time there’s the slightest hint of red on her bum. My goal is to prevent the welts by using it before they show up. And that has worked really well.
The next step was figuring out which diaper cream to use. Since we use it so often, it has to be something that is gentle enough for her sensitive skin, but still really darn effective. That’s why we use Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. You may think this is a product review, but I think of this post as more of a consumer report. Because we consume Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. We consume much. I love that it comes in a tub, too. It fits in the drawer of Gracie’s changing table, and I can literally scoop out handfuls of the stuff to cover her toosh. More than the convenience, though, I love that it is actually what the silly name says. It is a BUTT PASTE, y’all. I’m talking full coverage, you-might-be-able-to-spackle-your-dining-room kind of coverage. That might sound too harsh for a baby, but if you’ve ever seen your child suffer from severe diaper rash, you know that that thick, creamy coverage is exactly what you want. Ain’t nothin’ gettin’ through that Butt Paste. Gracie’s tooshy stays dry and welt free, which is exactly what you want. While I found Boudreaux’s Butt Paste when I was a new mom, it really wasn’t until I was a more seasoned mom that I realized what a gold mine it was. We are hardly ever without it around my house.

I am a parent to be but I have heard of the wonders of butt paste and I have registered my family for a healthy load to keep my baby’s booty rash free.
Haus Miller
It’s the combination of girl and fair skin associated with being a redhead. My older daughter has red hair and the super sensitive fair skin and got bad, serious diaper rashes all the time. My younger daughter has much darker skin and brown/blonde hair and has had about 5 diaper rashes in her 1.5 years of life. And, like you, I really really really liked the BUTT PASTE brand creme. It was thicker and just worked better than the others.
Nicole
Another one of the best (MD approved) preventative measures for diaper rash is plain, old, cheap vaseline! Get a giant tub and rub your baby’s bum every diaper change. If you are using cloth diapers you have to use an alternate to vaseline (as it will make the diapers repel moisture) but any other time lather it on liberally (in fact any where on the baby, and on your own hands while you’re at it!).
Sarah H.
I’m with Nicole. LOVE Vaseline 🙂
Mami2jcn
Let your baby’s diaper area air dry when possible, and use barrier creams.

I used butt paste all the time with our fair skinned daughter, but my son who has dark skin still has never had a diaper rash. I think it’s the one universal product that should be in every house.
Megan Smith
I am expecting and have heard that cloth diapered babies generally have fewer diaper rashes. That’s what I’m planning on doing. We’ll see how it works!
Amanda M.
We slathered out littles with A & D as a barrier, and luckily have never had to deal with diaper rash!
Kathleen
Cosign! That silly-named stuff saved our, ahem, butts so many times. It’s thick, gentle and doesn’t stink like some of the other stuff. Plus, a giggle or two never hurts.
Les
We’ve used Boudreaux’s Butt Paste even on my bigger boys, around their pair of unmentionables, when they’ve been rubbed by bathing suits or in the summer after they’ve been running around and gotten a bit “swampy and red”! ha ha
Cathy C.
My sweet baby girl uses lots of Boudreaux’s.
Right now, we’re kicking butt while parenting by helping our girl learn to use please and thank you.
Sara
We love Boudreaux butt paste too! Andrick has only had one real diaper rash, but he gets a lot of irritation and the butt paste helps with that. Also, lotrimin, recommended by my pedi for when his irritation looks, um, a certain way I don’t want to print. That was my butt kicking moment–going to the drug store to buy cream for jock itch hahaha
Lindsey
We have been using corn starch on the bum of the little girl I take care of. She is prone to diaper rash and often turns into a yeast infection. A little corn starch before we put the cream on does the trick!
deannab1
We also take preventative measures when it comes to diaper rash – my little one always has Butt Paste on!
jennifer h.
as a new mom i panicked when my baby got his first round of diaper rash. i concocted a potion to get rid of it initally: maalox, desitin, aquaphor and corn starch mixed together and used for a few days. and when it got bad i also let him roll around naked for a while. we tried using coconut oil as our everyday barrier for awhile and really wanted it to work but it didn’t. we’ve also found that there isn’t a lot of difference as far as diapers and diaper rash go for our baby; we’ve used strictly chlorine free diapers as well as conventional pampers and it seems about the same regardless. but i definitely felt like i kicked butt the first time he got the rash and i spent 2 days intensely trying to clear it up and it worked!
Kristen
I also use Boudreaux’s! Love it! A diaper rash is always gone the next time I change my son’s diaper after I’ve used it. I also like to use regular old baby powder with corn starch.
Mary
This is great stuff and I alway include it in the bag/basket when I give a shower gift!
Jess
I am not a mommy yet but Butt Paste has always been a staple that I give as a baby shower gift! Everyone I know gives it rave reviews!!
Kim
We changed diapers often, aired out when possible, and slathered with lots of cream.
Heather D
I’m not a mom yet, but I have 25+ nieces and nephews and plenty of experience changing diapers. I’m with you that preventative application is key!
HeatherM
I’m not a mom yet, but I was a peds ICU nurse, so I encountered TONS of diaper rashes usually caused by IV antibiotics. First of all, talk to your pediatrician- a diaper rash that is lots of small raided red bumps is usually a yeast infection, and thus needs to be treated w/ a prescription (usually nystatin). For the flat red irritated diaper rash, I prefer a paste cream. When it is really bad, I like to use a combination of desirin paste, Vaseline, and triple paste- mix it together in your hand first and then wipe it on- it works wonders! Also, the soap I. Baby wipes can be really painful w/ a diaper rash, so I like to rinse the wipes by filling the container w/ water & squeezing out the soapy water a few times before I ever use the container of wipes.
HeatherM
*raised red bumps (not raided).
**Desitin paste ( not desirin).
Sorry for the crazy auto-correct on my phone
Erin
Our boy has eczema, so we have to keep him well moisturized and A+D ointment works well and keeps the redness at bay.
Bobbie Ankney
Im an old school momma….my baby is 24, but I used, and still use on the itty bitties I care for daily…Bag Balm! LOL..doesnt smell the best but works great! Redness disappears in seconds! I also use it on any type of rash, even for myself. Its original use was for cows udders but hey…whatever works! LOL!
Tawny
I always give Butt Paste as a gift. Expecting my first very soon and finally received some myself. : )
Meagan Medved
I solved our diaper rash problem by switching to cloth diapers! They’re cute, fun, gentle, more comfortable, economical, and great for the environment. On the rare occasion my son has a rash, we also use butt paste with a liner to protect the cloth diaper.
Cindy
I have given birth to 2 children and I have used my fair share of butt paste:))
Joan
Baza Antifungal Cream works wonders on diaper rash. It is a combination of an antifungal (miconazole) and a barrier cream, like desitin. Your pharmacist can order it for you if your pharmacy does not stock it. It also works great on heat rash and athlete’s foot. I am a pharmacist and I routinely recommend this.
Sarah R
I use desitin max and triple paste (nystatin, maalox, and aquaphor compounded). My child has horrid diaper rash
Kristi
I feel like I “kick some butt” whenever we make it some where on time, and in good moods. With 3 boys, that can be a challenge!
Katie L
I only use Butt Paste. I tried a lot of brands and it was actually the very BEST out there!
Mae
Like you my oldest rarely got diaper rash…like maybe once! We just used a little Vaseline now and then. But my daughter has much more sensitive skin and while she’s never had a full blown rash she used to get really red and irritated. I tried Vaseline, Desitin, Butt Paste, and A&D, but nothing worked well. Then I found baby Aquaphor…that’s how we kick butt around our house. We put it on before bed time and any time I think she might be in her diaper longer than normal like when we run errands or long car trips. It has worked wonders!
Alison
LOVE Butt Paste! We kick butt by packing our bags for work/daycare the night before. Makes the mornings a breeze!
Rika
We went through tubs of Butt Paste when my older 2 were in diapers. Now with a third on the way, we’ll stock up again. I kick butt by making sure backpacks, lunches, clothes, and everything else we need for the day are packed the night before.
Sara R.
LOVE buttpaste! Our son has super sensitive skin and had diaper rash constantly until we tried buttpaste. We were never without it again!
Angela in KY
Thankfully my kiddos didn’t have an issue with diaper rash, but on the occasion they did I usually just used Desitin and baby powder. I have always wondered about the Butt Paste and how well it worked. Glad to hear it’s a Butt Saver! LOL.
Lindsay
I love buttpaste. Actually, I just recently “kicked butt” when P had his first major rash with those nasty raised red bumps and the buttpaste cleared it right up. That stuff works miracles!
Crystal H.
I just had my son a month ago, and bought some of the butt paste! Yet to have use it….YET. But its on stand-by.
Katie N.
Well, I’m feeling like I’m kicking butt right now simply because I was finally able to get pregnant! And, now that I AM pregnant, I would say that pregnancy is kicking MY butt. It’s just a big circle of butt kicking, this parenting thing 😉
Leah
Butt Paste is the best!! My dd has horrible diaper rashes when teething. I can tell how close a tooth is to breaking through by how red her bum is. We kick diaper rash butts with a soothing bath, air dry and caking on the butt paste before bed! They’re usually clear or at least drastically improved by morning.
Diurla D
The only thing that ever worked for my sons diaper rash was Honest Co healing balm. I also found that Huggies and Pampers caused his little bum to break out but Luvs were fine and Honest diapers were a godsend. I did use Boudreaux’s when he was really tiny and I did like it!
Jen @ Ginger Guide
I love the all natural Butt paste! I also found that once we switched to Seventh Generation diapers, Sully hardly ever had any sort of diaper rash. Poor kid had the same problem as Gracie for awhile there. Broke my heart to wipe his little butt when it hurt him so bad. Even now I still put a bit of coconut oil on his butt just to keep things going smoothly..haha
Nikki
My son is almost 10 weeks old, and we have yet to have a diaper rash problem. I am super prepared with lots of butt paste when the time comes, but I think since I’m a first time Mom I’m a little crazy about changing his diaper. As soon as that blue line appears ( love Pampers!) I’m rushing him to the changing table. I think that it also helps that he eats at least every 3 hours at night, so he’s not sitting in anything for too long. So ready for a good night’s sleep!
Susan Smith

Besides the preventative covering of cream (works like a charm by the way), my best tip for diaper rash is to ditch the disposable wipes. We used cloth wipes, wet with warm water even after we had ditched the cloth diapers (Hello second kid in less than 2 years, you get disposables!). The wipes though were awesome. Nothing chemical or herbal or harsh for sensitive skin. Just water and soft cloth.
Abigail
No kids yet, but it’s good to be prepared!
Dessi
My 13 month old has had a couple of run ins with diaper rash. We have always used desitine and/or a&d and it does the trick. We also use one or the other nightly to help prevent!

In addition to change diapers more often, we used chamomile cream to help.

Our firstborn is only 6 weeks old, but one of the books I read beforehand said to be sure to have some sort of diaper rash treatment on hand so my completely ignorant self and equally clueless husband went shopping and bought Boudreaux’s Butt Paste because the name made us laugh (although Anti-Monkey Butt was a close second). When our little one started getting a red bum, our doctor said any would work but Boudreaux was her favorite and just to be sure you created a nice thick barrier…and it’s worked wonders for us so far! We’ll see how it goes as the diapers become more heavy duty…

The first time I bought Butt Paste was because of the name. The second time I bought it was because it worked. As far as preventative measures, food has been the main issue. Oranges and orange juice give my little one an almost instant diaper rash.

We use A+D with every single diaper change. It keeps diaper rash at bay. When he’s teething though, sometimes it gets a little red – we’ll have to try some Butt Paste next time!

We use desitin Creamy.

A warm bath with no soap, air dry the bottom and butt paste (we lived by this stuff with our daughter when she was in diapers)

Vasoline has worked!

I kicked some butt by reading three books to my kid nightly, starting when she cool follow along! Fresh air for taking care of rash, avoiding chocolate for preventing it. Boo…

A&D ointment works wonders.

I’ve luckily never had to deal with it! I’ve always just kept my son’s butt very clean and changed him frequently! 7 months old and not one inch of diaper rash 🙂

vaseline will help in a pinch

Butt paste is the ONLY thing I ever use on diaper rashes! I discovered it when my now 5 yr old was a baby–I now have a newborn son and only use Butt paste on him as well 🙂

Since Boudreaux’s wasn’t around when my kids were babies, I used Desitin and when rashes got really bad, a prescription cream from the doctor.

I used Butt Paste when my children were in diapers.

I adopted my son when he was out of the diaper phase so we never had a chance to use butt paste (He does find the name funny, however). But I will keep it in mind for a baby shower I am attending soon, it will make a great addition to the gift basket I’m putting together.
