I first discovered “butt spray” when I started looking into cloth diapers. The spray is not limited to just cloth diapers. It helps a lot when you have a big mess in the underpants area!
I had used the Diaper Lotion Potion for a while and it was wonderful, but as usual I get bored of things and wanted to use new products. So a few months ago I decided to try out Honest one. Here are my thoughts on both.
First off, the Diaper Lotion Potion, we’ll call it DLP. DLP is a concentrated concoction of essential oils, that you dilute with water, preferably distilled water, that way it won’t go bad, or witch hazel. There’s only three ingredients! Jojoba oil with chamomile for moisture, lavender oil for healing and fragrance, and tea tree oil for antibacterial purpose, that’s it! To make the diaper solution, you only need a tablespoon of the oil and 4 oz of water or witch hazel. Which in total, makes 8 bottles. The concentrated DLP cost on Amazon is around $15. The Honest Soothing Bottom Wash retails at $9.95. So that right there tells me the DLP is up top on my list of pros. My only con for the DLP is the bottle I bought for it. The atomizer sprays very sheer mists and it takes several pumps to get the results I want, and if you’re a mom, you know what it’s like to struggle during a diaper change when there’s poop everywhere! You just want it done quick, easy and clean! My baby’s bottom was always smooth and supple after using the DLP and it definitely helped the healing process when she had bad diaper rashes. Pros all around!
Right off the bat, I loved the Honest bottom wash. It was in a bigger bottle, better to hold on to. All the great ingredients the Honest company always promises. Con: There’s 3 times the ingredients in this one than the DLP. It did a great job for the daunting diaper explosions. Although, it felt like I was using soap on her butt. It foamed a lot and I wasn’t too keen on using a spray that felt like it needed a rinse under the faucet. This is not a good spray to use when your little one has the slightest big of a rash!!! It must have stung or something because she started crying the second I sprayed it on her butt! She’s never had that reaction with the DLP solution. My daughter has extra sensitive skin, so diaper rashes was a common occurrence. As much as I love Honest products, this is not one I will repurchase. I do love the bottle and atomizer. The spray covers a wide range, and gets the job done with just a couple spritz. I’ve decided to use the Honest bottom wash bottle with my DLP concentrate, and it was match made in diaper disaster heaven!
I hope this review helped.
