Get a Free Sample of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste.

December 2, 2010 By Elizabeth

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.

I’m not currently using Boudreaux’s Butt Paste, but I do have personal experience with bad diaper rash. Kaitlyn was born with diaper rash. The skin on her tiny little butt was red and irritated right from birth.

When our pediatrician came to the hospital to give her a checkup, he wrote us a prescription for diaper rash cream. The ingredients in that cream were a thick white over the counter diaper rash cream, mixed with mineral oil, petroleum jelly, zinc oxide, and a small amount of hydrocortisone. It took weeks of multiple applications a day to clear the rash up, it was that bad.

I looked at the ingredients list for Boudreaux’s Butt Paste and it looks like it would be a good option if you can’t get a prescription and your baby has a bad rash. The ingredients are Boric Acid, Castor Oil, Mineral Oil, Paraffin, Peruvian Balsam, and Petrolatum (petroleum jelly). I’m not sure what Peruvian Balsam is, but the oils, wax and petroleum jelly will soothe and protect a sensitive baby bottom.

There’s an offer on their site for a “free” sample, but you have to send in a 6 x 9 envelope self-addressed with $1.39 return postage on it. That’s not a bad deal though, considering that a 16 ounce jar is $14.99 and a 4 ounce tube is $5.99 (on drugstore.com). I’d say go for it!
