About Boudreaux’s Butt Paste
The founder of Butt Paste, George Boudreaux, was a pharmacist in Louisiana who happened to have four small ones of his own at home.
Like most parents, he struggled with diaper rash but couldn’t find anything on the shelves that would do the trick.
Hearing the same complaints from other parents in his pharmacy, he went to work formulating his own diaper rash cream.
Before long, he hit on a formula that would one day become known as Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. (Amazon aff link)
The new formula worked so well, it became a hit. Now you can find Butt Paste in most drug stores, grocery stores, and worldwide!
My Experience With Diaper Creams
Long before I started cloth diapering my favorite go-to rash cream was Boudreaux’s Maximum-strength butt paste.
It had the best consistency and worked extremely well. I even liked the way it smelled compared to the other top brands.
Once I switched to cloth diapers I wasn’t able to use it unless I had a Diaper Liner. Butt paste is pretty thick and will coat your cloth diapers, causing them to repel urine.
As I began my blog, I became more conscious of what goes on baby’s skin and even mine for that matter.
Everything you put on your skin will be absorbed through the bloodstream.
I switched over to an organic Cloth Diaper Safe Cream (Amazon aff link) that seemed to do ok most of the time. When you cloth diaper you usually don’t have that many rashes anyway.
Story Time:
One time Asher had a bad case of diarrhea and came home from Moms Day Out with an incredibly large and horrible diaper rash.
I knew that my regular organic diaper cream wasn’t going to cut it and I needed something stronger. I immediately reached for my old tube of original extra strength Butt Paste.
I had him wearing disposable diaper liners to protect his cloth diapers. His diarrhea continued for a couple of days, making the rash harder to fight.
Butt Paste eventually got rid of the rash and Asher finally started feeling better. It took about 3-4 days to clear up most of the rash.
Once the rash calmed down I switched back to my organic diaper stick and stopped using the disposable liners.
My Review Of the “All Natural” Butt Paste
Boudreaux’s Butt Paste is still my favorite mainstream rash cream to-date so I was excited to find out that they began offering a more eco-friendly option.
Boudreaux was kind enough to send me a few samples to review of their “Green Cream” (Amazon aff link) and an extra tube to give away!
The maximum-strength Butt Paste worked wonders but I wanted to find a cloth diaper safe/natural alternative that worked well on more stubborn diaper rashes.
I wasn’t sure if the “All Natural” Butt Paste would be as effective as the maximum-strength version. The consistency is almost as thick as the regular cream and I found the scent to be fairly pleasant and clean.
Technically their all-natural green cream isn’t all-natural because it still contains 16% Zinc Oxide. Here is a list of all the ingredients used:
- Zinc Oxide, 16%
- Aloe Vera
- Beeswax
- Carnauba Wax
- Castor Oil
- Citric Acid
- Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Peruvian Balsam
The Downside of Butt Paste
Because the cream contains the ingredient zinc oxide, it also makes it less cloth diaper safe.
Zinc oxide is a wonderful ingredient for clearing up diaper rashes but it can coat your diapers causing them to repel.
I highly suggest using either a reusable or disposable Diaper Liner (Amazon aff link) when using this product. The all-natural Butt Paste has 16% of zinc oxide whereas the maximum-strength butt paste has 40%.
Some babies are also allergic to zinc oxide so I also advise testing out a small area if you are using this cream for the first time.

The Baby Bum Brush
The only other little thing I don’t like about Butt Paste or most diaper creams for that matter is how they feel on my hands.
This is where it’s super handy to use a Baby Bum Brush (Amazon aff link).
After changing a dirty diaper your hands are not the most sanitary. It’s nice to have a small tool that you can apply the cream onto without getting your hands all creamy in the process.
After applying the cream to the brush you spread it onto babies bottom almost like your icing a cake…. kind of.
The Baby Bum Brush can also stand on its own because of the suction cup bottom and they come in several colors.
I honestly don’t know why anyone didn’t think of this any sooner, they are pretty cool in my opinion!
Snappi Baby released basically a copy of the Bum Brush a couple of years later. I did a review on it if you’d like to check it out.
So far, I prefer the original Bum Brush. Its silicone is a bit softer and more flexible.
Final Thoughts!
I think this is a great diaper rash cream to have even if you don’t use cloth diapers because the ingredients are more natural based.
I’m glad that Boudreaux is now offering products that are more environmentally friendly, kudos for them!

My baby Katie does a lot of funny things she’s a goober one of favorites is when someone or something goes away she lifts up her arms shrugging her shoulders saying where her/him/it go so seriously lol. Or when she saw ohh because she’s surprised or ewww lol she’s always cracking me up. I love that this paste is all natural and cloth diaper safe also the paste spatula looks awesome I’m going to look for it on Amazon.
My daughter pretends to be asleep so she can stay in her brothers room with him at bedtime!
I’m expecting, so I would say kicking me 🙂 he/she doesn’t kick like crazy very often, but when daddy is around and Talking to my belly, the kicking is nonstop. So weird, but so cute at the same time!

I remember those days, so cute. 🙂
Oh that is funny! Kids are something else lol.
I never knew how funny kids were until I had my own. I bet Katie and Asher would be a hoot together! And yes I love the butt spatula lol.
Thank you Stephanie!
My two month old baby girl, Blair, makes the sweetest cooing noises and loves to be held while her twin sister Ivy likes to head-butt me and flail her limbs constantly! 🙂
Oh that is too cute. I love twins!
First of all thank you so much for the opportunity ????!!! My thirteen months old baby is cracking me up every time when he takes all of the neatly placed diapers down. He has a blast just throwing them all over the floor and drugging them from room to room ????. It is very funny to watch him but at the same time so time consuming for me since I spend time making them look pretty. Oh man it is all worth in the end ????!!!!
That is hilarious! My son does the same exact same thing. It is like he lives to destroy the house ha ha!
Perfect timing for a funny story. Last night my little guy was naked as I was getting him ready for bed. He had a little toy that was thin like a pencil and about 4 inches long. He squeezed it between his little cheeks and ran around saying he had a tail.
My little Jillian has started being interactive when her big Sisters or I talk to her she tries her hardest to talk back to us. She is such a happy baby.
My baby will hold his nose and walk up to me to tap me letting me know he needs to be changed. Lol what a smart 1 year old
Wow, that is one SMART baby!
Awwww I bet she is adorable Nancy!
Now that is pretty HILARIOUS! These are the times that “crack” us up! 😛
My little lady gives kisses by violently attaching your face with full force open mouth slobbers, she ends the kiss by blowing bubbles! It’s very messy but cute and hilarious!

He He He that is really funny Grace!
My baby started growling. She’s 9 months old and she growles if someone coughs or clears their throat. Lol.
That is funny cause Asher used to cry and come running to me if anyone coughed! Must be a weird baby thing!
Kinds funny thing. My son Maddox has decided that helping mommy take dirty dishes and put them in the sink is a great thing. It’s awesome but sometimes things end up in there that shouldn’t be. Like my clock.
Wow, you got that kid trained! Well done! lol
I have a baby boy and if I’m not fast enough at changing his diaper, he somehow manages to to pee on his own head, while laying down! Never laughed so hard in my life before!!
Oh that is hilarious, you have no idea how many times I have been sprayed lol. They do that a lot more when they are young and it stops (for the most part) as they get older. One thing you can do is use TP Pee pee’s or even better a simple washcloth. Put a washcloth over him while you are cleaning off his bum. then carefully move it off and wipe the rest. There is still a chance you will get hosed, but not as much when you have it all exposed! lol Also, I have never been fast at diaper changes, I like to take my time and get it all nice and clean. 🙂
