I still remember my baby shower. I was a beautiful affair, filled with friends, food, gifts and Butt Paste.

** I received this product for free from MomsMeet.com in exchange for an honest review **

Seriously. Gift after gift I would find a tube of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste included. I had NO idea what it was, but I figured it must be some good stuff if everyone was gifting it. I felt like they were all letting me in on something moms need to know about. I recently threw a baby shower for a friend and passed on the rash-kicking magic in the form of two tubs of Butt Paste.

Butt Paste is a New Mom Necessity

So what the heck is this stuff and what makes it work so well? The Boudreaux’s Butt Paste Maximum Strength (my preferred formula, in the red tube) contains 40% zinc oxide and is free from dyes, preservatives, parabens and talc. Zinc oxide works as a mild astringent and has some antiseptic properties so it treats, as well as prevents diaper rash. They also offer an original formula with 16% zinc oxide.

I tried several different brands and always went back to Boudreaux’s. You can see improvement after one use with this cream. When my son was a baby, we used it with every diaper change. Now that he’s potty training, we still keep it around because he gets the occasional “ouchy butt” and butt paste always takes care of it in a day.

Check out the new Rash Kicking Kit

Boudreaux’s also recently introduced the “Rash Kicking Kit” that includes two tubes of paste and an application brush (or “butt brush”), which is a nice touch to keep your fingers clean during application. It also makes a great shower gift!

So who else was introduced to butt paste at their shower?
