Diaper Rash Ointment

Pros: Thick and rich, has hardly any scent at all.
Cons: None thus far.

My son has only had a few diaper rashes in his two years. Typically he gets a rash when he has an upset stomach and the acidity in his bowel movements irritates his tender skin. When he gets a diaper rash...he gets a diaper rash. I won't get too...

Pros: Effective and Immediate Relief
Cons: Removal Can Be Somewhat Difficult, But WORTH It!

Regardless of a parent’s diligence in diaper changing, thereby keeping your baby’s derriere clean and dry, even the occasional diaper rash is bound to happen at one time or another. For us, these rashes are infrequent, generally only occurring in...

Pros: Ease of application, mess-free, mild scent
Cons: Not effective for worse rashes, hard to find

“Now it’s easy to treat and prevent diaper rash using RashStick’s built-in applicator instead of your hands. The creamy formula combines pediatrician recommended zinc oxide with aloe and vitamin E to help heal diaper rash while ...

Pros: Both protects against and clears up diaper rash. Stays on for a long time.
Cons: Hard to spread on, faint smell, difficult to get off hands

I'm a fairly loyal A + D ointment and Creamy Desitin user (or should I say my daughter is!). I like the A + D for prevention of diaper rash and the Creamy Desitin to clear up rashes that have already occurred. But I've been hearing good things about...

Pros: Does not have a strong smell
Cons: None

Prior to buying Gerber Diaper Rash Ointment, I was a user of either Balmex or Desitin, showing no preference between the two. Now that I have tried Gerber Diaper Rash Ointment, I am a loyal user of this brand.

Gerber Diaper Rash...

Pros: Seems to work on existing rash, not just shield from wetness!
Cons: None.

This stuff really works! I don’t know why I was so hesitant to try Gerber's new product line, but I was. Gerber has been making baby products for over 70 years, so you would think they would have already included a diaper rash ointment into their...

Pros: great application design
Cons: hard to find, doesn't work for SEVERE diaper rash

I have updated this review with more information based on the comments. What attracted me to this cream is that it goes on like deoderant. You twist the dial on the bottom and a little bit of goo comes out of the slots at the top for you rub on the baby ...

Pros: Spreads easily, stays on baby's butt for a long time, clears up diaper rash fast
Cons: Difficult to get off hands

The first diaper rash ointment I used on my son was Balmex. I was less than thrilled with its performance, and shortly after I began using it, I decided it was time to find a different brand of rash ointment. I bought a tube of Gerber Diaper...

Pros: bountiful coupons
Cons: smell, consistency, sticky, expensive, doesn't work!

Diaper rash is a foe that all parents will have to face sometime during their diaper changing experiences with each and every child. Those icky red bumps and scales appear in even the cleanest diapers for seemingly no reason. Fighting the rash quickly...

Pros: glides on easily, no mess, no bad smell, works great on rashes
Cons: none!

Pros: Quick, effective, terrific
Cons: None

I would like to state, first off, that "ointment" is not the same thing as "cream". A few negative reviews about Gerber Diaper Rash Lotion have been published for the ointment product.

That said - the ointment is terrific. I have...

Pros: no mess on hands, very easy to apply and remove, good scent
Cons: hard to find sometimes

Earlier in the year, my sister gave me 2 containers of RashStick for my baby shower. At first, I was a bit skeptical on if it would work or not. Geesh, I should've been less nervous! This product, RashStick, looks like a stick of deodorant when you ...

Pros: nice scent
Cons: too thick, hard to apply and remove, expensive, didn't clear up rash or relieve itching.

After Gerber recently told me they discontinued their Diaper Rash Lotion, they suggested I try their improved Diaper Rash Ointment. I wish I hadn't! Gerber Diaper Rash Ointment has improved since 1999. It now has aloe, Vitamin E, and oatmeal to ...

Pros: none
Cons: does not prevent diaper rash

We are HUGE fans of Desitin products. But we have fell in love with the new line of Gerber products, so we decided to give this a try as well.

My daughter did not have a rash to begin with. We always put diaper rash cream on her to keep her...

Pros: Wipes off easily
Cons: Unpleasant odor

After running out of Desitin, I bought Gerber diaper rash lotion because I had a coupon and it was on sale.

I didn't have any problem with the way the ointment worked. It was softer and easier to spread than other zinc oxide ointments and...
