As a mom of two young boys, I’ve had my fair share of diapering situations. I’ve been pooped on, peed on, dealt with all kinds of diapers, diaper rash, poop explosions and the list goes on and on. However, we had one notable diaper disaster when using cloth diapers with Knox that still cracks me up.
We were at work, Knox was playing in his play yard, and I hear my mom yelling “Knox?!! What are you doing?!!” Then she starts saying “He’s peeing! He’s peeing out of his diaper! It’s everywhere!” I’m like, “what is going on here??” She runs him to the changing area, undoes his one-piece outfit (like a Jon Jon with buttons between the legs) and… nothing. She starts telling me, shocked, that I forgot to put a diaper on him! I am adamant that, no, I did NOT forget his diaper! I am not that scatterbrained, even on a bad day. No way! I continually refused this accusation, while she laughed and basically treated me like a crazy person that had lost the entirety of her mind. We proceeded to argue about this situation while Knox giggled at us, and finally, I walked back over to his play yard where, amidst the mess of toys, sat a crumpled green cloth diaper (complete with turdlet). Apparently, a one year-old Knox did not feel like playing with a dirty diaper on and took matters into his own hands.
He unfastened the Velcro through his outfit and let the diaper drop between his legs, through his shorts, and kept right on playing! It was after this incident that we had his Velcro diapers converted to snaps because after a few minutes alone in his pack n play, we discovered this was not going to be an isolated incident! This was right after he peed through his outfit…
… and approximately one minute later. My tiny nudist!
Hee hee! He was so little and cute! A not-so-funny diapering problem, however, is diaper rash. I think moms are always looking for a product that actually works well, and one that definitely does is Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. I know, I know, butt paste sounds funny, and that’s actually what made me notice it in the first place (never underestimate the power of clever naming!), but what made me keep using it is the fact that it WORKS!
How cute is this box that Boudreaux’s sent me? Love. I’ve used Boudreaux’s on Knox before, Brody hasn’t had much diaper rash to speak of using cloth diapers, but if he does, I’ve always used “normal” (aka not cloth diaper-safe) diaper rash cream, I just use a disposable liner in the cloth diaper first so it doesn’t get all over it. The one time I used normal stuff without one, it stuck like glue to the cloth and never came out- oh, well, live and learn! Boudreaux’s Butt Paste smells good, but not overwhelmingly perfumey, and goes on smoothly and really protects their little bums. I give it an A+!
If you don’t already love Boudreax’s, give it a try, and if you do, well, here’s a reason to love them even more: they’re about to give one of you a $100 Visa gift card! That will buy a lot of diapers, people, whatever kind you use! Of course, you could always splurge on something for yourself, too, like a nap. Oh wait, they don’t sell those, do they? Well, a pedicure, then!

I am not entering (I do not need butt paste….right now anyways). But I remember getting it with a baby shower gift and thinking, what an awful name. But it’s the best stuff ever for diaper rash.
Very cute little nudist you have there.
I’m going to keep your comment in as an entry because this giveaway is for a $100 Visa Gift Card, not Butt Paste… and we could all use $100!
I have heard good things about this so called “butt paste” and will have to keep it handy when our little one comes in December!
I wrote a funny post about our worst poo-splosion. It was epic and as a newish mommy I was completely dumbfounded about what to do hahahaha

WE L-O-V-E Butt Paste in our house. I have told so many of my Mommy frioends about it too! We have been lucky to not have had many diaper rashes but it always clears up a pink tush in 1 or 2 applications. Like I said, love that stuff so much!
A couple months ago I was changing Wyatt (youngest son.. he was 2 months old around the time) on the guest bed. Harper (oldest son 2 years old) is always by my side assisting me. I took Wyatt’s daiper off lifted his legs to wipe & something hit my foot.. he shot poo across the end of the bed and onto my slippered foot. I was laughing so hard because Wy had a huge smile on his face & seriously.. poo everywhere it is the only thing to do! Harper on the other hand was freaking out about the poo on my foot, the floor, & the bed.”Mommy .. Wyatt pooped everywhere!” He may be a little bit of a clean freak!
We LOVE our butt paste! We have used it for two years and nothing else compares! We are going to be cloth diapering our second due in August and I wish they made a cloth diaper safe version!!!
Sara you can always use the flushable liners with your cloth and still use the butt paste!
My daughter suffers from what we call “red butt” whenever she eats chocolate. It makes her poop a lot and then she starts getting rashy.

I have never tried the butt paste, but it sounds like a wonderful product. My son used to get a diaper rush after eating certain foods.

Buttpaste is the Only kind we use!!
I hear great things about butt paste from lots of moms. We are expecting our first baby in Sept and plan on having plenty in stock! Thanks so much for the giveaway!!
Love the cloth diaper removal story. Classic!! And yes, I do the same with Butt Paste and a liner. Works the BEST when girlie has a rash…especially when it’s an acidic butt rash from teething. Kinda wish it was a $100 Butt Paste Card, but I would make do ;0)
Love Butt Paste! It not only works, but smells good, too!
I work at a daycare with one and two year olds and they tell you when it hurts! This stuff does work. By the next day, their little bums are back to normal!
We love Butt Paste for our son! Always clears his rash right up.
I remember it being the middle of the night and having to change a diaper. I was in the middle of it when…my kid shot poop out like a dart gun and splattered my wall. I stood there in a speechless panic. That night, I learned to ALWAYS keep Lysol wipes nearby!
Fellow Butt Paste worshipper here! Presley hasn’t had many diaper rashes, but when she did, we used the Butt Paste and were good as new!

We love butt paste here too. We are pregnant with number two and it was one of the most obvious choices for our registry this time around!
At least the name is an attention getter!
You don’t forget that!
I don’t know if my other comment posted, with my blog about it… BUT who wouldn’t want $100?!

My baby boy got the most stubborn rashes! There were so many products that I’ve tried out there and with no luck. Finally, I got this Boudreaux’s Butt Paste samples from a friends and it worked like a charm! I’ve been using this since then.

Having 3 little boys, I know a lot about diaper mishaps and diapers rash. Love your blog.
Funny story! Gotta love little boys!
I always wondered how that stuff worked when I’ve seen it given at baby showers. Good to know that it works well!
My daughter had a diaper rash that would not go away with Desitin – I finally got the butt paste and it went away in a day! It really was amazing.
Although I’m sure I’m about to have many more, being that Gage is 2.5 and I’m pregnant, my mind can’t think too much right now. The one that comes to mind is the 1st time I took him to see the Easter Bunny, when he was about 5 months old. I knew there was a GREAT chance he would poop/pee through his clothes so I didn’t put him in his ‘Easter’ outfit right away. Sure enough I was right and about 10 mins. before we walked out the door, he pooped all up the back of him. Figuring it was over, I dressed him happily in the outfit of choice and set off…..big mistake. By the time we got to the mall (about a half hour away) more poop and this time on the carseat, so that was super special. Anyway, he ended up having to wear different pants than I had planned…..and I thought I had planned ahead. Oh well…
i love this stuff. i swear by it and i would not use any other diaper cream. now that my son is out of diapers i don’t need it for him, but will come in handy for the one i have in the oven.
Hope to win!
I used the butt paste with Brody and willl use it for Hudson if/when he has diaper rash!
I have never tried butt paste for my 2 1/2 year old. Due with #2 in December and would love to try it!
Love Boudreaux’s Butt Paste…was a bit skeptical until I had my son. I am a huge fan now!
butt paste is usually the go to brand. everytime I have gotten a baby sample, new born package of some sort- it has been showcased in the package.

Love butt paste! I use it with a liner and my BG diapers all the time!
Awesome giveaway! We seriously love butt paste in this house. True story, one time I used it myself after a but of chafing due to a thong malfunction while running. Worked like a charm!
The first time Ace had an explosive diaper he was sitting playing and when I lifted him out of his little seat it was all over him. I literally held him out in front of me running back and forth between the bath and his changing table trying to figure out how to get his clothes and diaper off without getting poop everywhere! I felt like I was a scene from a movie. I think I ended up just stripping him in the bathroom but it was hard because it was before he could sit up and poop got EVERYWHERE!

We love butt paste. My daughter always says “feel better” when she sees me get it out. And it does make her feel better.
I guess I’m too new to have a diaper rash story! My son definitely has diaper rash and we’ve been using Burt’s Bees.
We’ve been lucky not to have too many rashes since we use cloth.

I wish I would have known about butt paste when my friend was having so many rash issues with her little one. You wouldn’t believe the amount of diaper brands she had to go through just find something that helped her daughter.
I love butt paste! It always works
i dont have kids yet but i know babies getting diaper rashes is really common so i will have to remember to use boudreauxs
https://twitter.com/aes529/status/226760749278699520
I don’t have babies or kids myself but I use and love this stuff for myself!
Love the tagline: “let’s kick some rash!” Great stuff
Adorable little family, by the way!
DDs suffered diaper rushes , in addition to change diapers more often, we used chamomile cream and also Boudreaux’s paste to help.

Our first little one is expected for November, but a lot of my friends have babies and several years ago I went to a shower and someone was talking all about Butt Paste and how it was simply the best and ever since then it’s been a staple of my baby shower gifts for my friends and they’ve all loved it. We definitely plan on using it for our little when she gets here!

My kids would usually get a diaper rash when I was sick and had a stuffy noise and couldn’t tell that they had dirtied their diaper. I have tried this product when they did get rashes, & it helped.

My one daughter was really prone to getting diaper rash – I felt so bad when she would get one! I have heard great things about Boudreaux’s – wish I would have heard about it years ago though!
My daughter gets really bad diaper rash. I often have to let her run around the house naked to air her out….this seems to help a lot. Maybe I should try boudreaux’s!
this stuff works miracles

My son once had a reaction to these veggie squeezie pouches I got him. They made him break out in horrible diaper rash, so we stopped buying that particular brand.

If you have a red butt in your house this is a must.
Most babies have diaper rashes. I felt sorry to my first baby because I could not get a good butt paste to help him until my second baby was born, a friend gave me the Boudreaux’s butt paste and it worked so well on her. Now I recommend it to all my friends whoever have babies.

Splurge on a pedi? Yes, please! Our diaper rash nightmare I’m pretty sure was the result of some olive tasting. Ugh! Never again. Fortunately, I’d already been school in the wonders of Boudreaux’s!
No diaper rash stories for me! I don’t have children and have never spent any time around babies before either. Sorry!!
I tweeted here: https://twitter.com/MsTofuFairy/status/237249789878751234
When my children were small we had several bouts of diaper rash and I didn’t know about Butt Paste. I think this would have helped a lot.
Not a rash story but something similar to your experience – My girls were 3 and 18 months and I put them down for a nap. When I checked to see if they were awake I found the youngest had used the contents of her dirty diaper to finger paint the bedroom wall. And of course the older one had to help. They both got a lesson in wall washing.
this sound like great stuff Butt Paste!

this product works great…have used it for years!
I have an almost 3 year old and a 6 month old both still in diapers. I will be checking Boudreax’s out.
Thanks for the opportunity- love Butt Paste! It works great. We used it on my oldest (now 6) and we use it on my youngest (22 months). Always clears things up quickly!
Love, Love the butt paste, it works wonders on diaper rash and nay rash for that matter, We just cake it on and it works.
$100 sure would come in handy for this recent poor college grad
Thanks for holding this giveaway, Jessica!
awesome! this product is awesome…have used it for years!

i want $100!!!
I only use Butt Paste. When my son was born my husband thought I was crazy for insisting we buy some, but after our little guy got his first case of really bad diaper rash and this stuff cleared it up over night we have sworn by it.
We love butt paste! Seriously awesome! I remember after our son was born last year, I searched for the best product & found rave reviews on butt paste. So I sent my husband out, & he called me 20 minutes later saying how he couldn’t find it. Well, for some odd reason, he was looking in the TOOTH paste aisle!! Silly sleep deprived first time daddy (least that’s what I told myself!)
