Balmex Diaper Rash Ointment

Cons: Hard to get off my fingers, stuck around the top opening

Pros: Wonderful healing and protecting power!
Cons: Hard to clean off of walls and sometimes bottoms!

“Why didn’t someone tell me earlier?” is all I have to ask. Now with a potty training two-year-old, I’m wondering why it took me 4 years to find this wonder of a diaper rash ointment! I’ve tried Desitin and A&D Ointment, I’ve even tried...

Pros: Works fast and well, protects baby's skin like promised, not fishy smelling
Cons: a little pricey

For the longest time I have used A&D Ointment on my daughters diaper rash, it worked well but always left me with greasy fingers that smelled like fish and my poor daughter was left to smell like a fish too! I did not care for that very much and decided...

Pros: heals rashes quickly
Cons: NONE

I have to admit, before trying Balmex; I used nothing but Desitin. I got a tube a Balmex for a baby shower gift and politely stored it in the back of the baby’s closet.

When my son was about 10 months he got a bad rash, one that...

Pros: Works great, wipes off easily
Cons: none

We originally tried Desitin on own son because it was supposed to be "the best". Well, I didn't care for it. It didn't want to come off with a lot of what I felt was excess rubbing. What, then, should I use? There were many different brands,...

Pros: Wonderful for clearing diaper rash.
Cons: A little pricey but worth it.

When my daughter was small, she had a horrible problem with diaper rash. At first I thought she might be allergic to something in her disposable diapers. I didn’t know what but thought maybe it was at least one of the chemicals that they use to make...

Cons: Can't get rid of "whopper" rashes

When my son was born I was a complete newbie at all things baby. Let me put it to you this way -- I had never even changed a diaper, nevermind put on "diaper cream." Because I was such a neophyte I went out and bought every diaper cream I could find -- ...

When I was...

After our recent experience with Desitin Creamy, I have been reluctant to try another diaper rash ointment other than our favorite Desitin regular, even for the sake of a review. But my husband had other ideas.

I sent him to the store last...

Cons: none at this time

When my grandchild got her first diaper rash, it was a nasty one. My daughter had tried using several products to clear the rash, then finally showed the rash to me. I was appalled. It was also on a Sunday!! The pediatrician's office was closed, but...

Pros: easy to wipe off, fresh scent
Cons: didn't work for my son

My youngest son seems to have a problem with diaper rash. Just about the time I get one good and gone, another one seems to crop up. I have tried it all and then some, so I know which ointments work on my son and which ones don’t. The Balmex Diaper...

Pros: applies easily, wipes off easily, works wonders!

Pros: works quickly, seems to give instant relief

For the most part, we have not had to use diaper rash ointment. My daughter was in cloth diapers exclusively for 18 months and rarely got a rash. It was usually when she ate something spicy or acidic that she needed something extra on her bottom. We...

Cons: none

After hearing how wonderful Balmex was for curing rashes I tried this with my oldest daughter. I am now using it 7 years later on my youngest.

I prefer Balmex over some of the other rash ointments for a few reasons. It smells good, it...
