Boudreaux Butt Paste users?

H got a nasty diaper rash last week, so we switched to disposables and applied a cream with zinc oxide for a day to try to take care of it.

I just found Boudreaux Butt Paste online and noticed that there's an all-natural version for a dollar more.  It appears from the description that the all-natural version does NOT have zinc oxide, but I'm not positive (I couldn't find the ingredients list, just a description).

Does anyone know if the all-natural one works as well as the one with zinc oxide?  CD users, would this be an option for me to use while still using CDs instead of having to switch to disposables?

TIA!

  • Not a CDer, but I was gifted the all-natural BP and I was not a fan.  It's really thin and liquid-y compared to the regular kind.  The regular kind is easier to apply, IMO.

    Good to know, thanks!  I had a sample of the original BP and I really liked it.  But I think it's the zinc oxide that you can't use while CDing, so it's just a matter of using disposables when we need it.

  • Hm.  I've used the yellow tube kind and the green tube kind...one is white stuff inside (I think that's the zinc oxide one) and the other is kind of a tan color.  I use both interchangeably, and Noah, who has really sensitive skin, seems to respond well to both.  And I use both with cloth diapers! (I didn't realize you weren't supposed to use zinc oxide products with cloth!?!?!?)  

    My only feedback, the tan stuff (which I think is the all natural one) smells pretty good.  And I like that because of the color, when you put it on a rash, it seems as though the rash goes away magically, because it's like a concealer or something.  :) 

  • I am not sure what the ingredients are but I have only used the natural kind. LO had diaper rash twice when webrough him from the hospital and when I tried aquaphore on him. The butt paste cleared up both incidents beautifully

    Oh, I was wrong.  I wonder what's "all-natural" about it then?  Hmm....  Not that it really matters all that much, I just ordered a tube of the original stuff.  Diapers.com baby, free shipping and tax-free!  Woot!

    Thanks for the responses!
