Yep, that's right- "Butt Paste". More specifically, it's called "Boudreaux's Butt Paste". I've talked with lots of of my friends who have kids back in the US and they all rave about the stuff for preventing diaper rash. Has anyone seen this stuff in HK or perhaps knows who has it? I tried Drugstore.com but they won' ship it here.

Thanks in advance
 
Works fine. My friends in the US rave about it, but I didn't think it was any better than the 40% zinc Desitin and found it harder to clean off ( perhaps thats the point, it really stays on the skin). I have ordered both from drugstore.com and had shipped to HK, so not sure why they won't ship to you here. Bummer that they won't.

Thanks Elle. I'll try it Drugstore.com again. Perhaps I did something wrong when I tried to order the stuff, I dunno. I'm also going to try the Desitin w/ zinc. The stuff we have ("Mustela") just doesn't seem to be getting the job done.
 
Also try Sudocrem. This is the UK zinc based cream and you can get it in any baby store and I suspect Watsons, Mannings etc. It was recommended by nurse/lactation consultant when my son had his first, but really bad, diaper rash at 18 mos and it worked really well. We had been using the Mustela on it unsuccessfully as well.

Was also quite unhappy with the Mustela diaper cream, disappointing because their other products are pretty good. As noted above, Sudecrem works pretty well, is zinc based (the ingredient our pediatrician said to look for) and is available in HK. I don't like it as much as Desitin, but it does the job in a pinch when run out of the stuff from the US.
 
Sudocrem is fantastic and you can get a small jar at Bumps to Babes on Pedder St so that you don't have to spend lots to try it out. Good luck.
 
Yes, we use "Butt Paste" and I buy the huge tubs when I back in the States which seem to last forever! It does help a lot, but there are also the equivalents in HK. I am sure you can get it shipped to Asia from the US - u might just have to pay triple in shipping. I would just load up if it's that's the case.
 
You can also try Drapolene, available at ParnknShop/watsons. Its really effective on rashes. We find it much better than desitin.
 
Beware that Boudreaux's Butt Paste (the brown color one-- I don't know if there are other formulations) will stain light colored clothes. I hated it. I happened to try Butt Paste at the time my daughter was resisting diaper changes, so it smeared onto her white onesie and the color never came out. It is also extremely hard to clean off skin. Like it is greasy or something.

We've used Sudocrem and found it to work the best for our kids.

I found that Sudocrem will eliminate redness in one application. Butt Paste did not eliminate redness after multiple applications. Since I had only used about 5% of the giant tub, I found that Butt Paste makes a great door stop!
 
Thanks for the comments everyone. We've actually managed to solve our dilemma. My wife is from the mainland and her mother in Shanghai sent us some homemade stuff called Zi Cao for my daughter's diaper rash. It's a mixture of sesame oil and a purple-colored herb called arnebia in the west and who-knows-what-else. The stuff makes the whole house smell like toasted sesame seeds, but it is amazingly effective :-)
 
Moomoo
I haven't bought any in the last 2 months, but I often find in HK that sometimes there are no supplies for a few months until the next shipment. Will let you know if I see any next time I go to Watsons.
 
Can u just ask if sudocream shld be used as preventative; use everytime there us a diaper change? Or shld you only use when some redness has already developed? For my 5 wk old, I've been using vit A/vit D ointment everytime, diaper rash kept to a min but dr saw a few red bumps and had us use fungus cream. I want to huge sudocream a try. Thanks!!
