GroVia All Natural Magic Stick Baby Diaper Balm for Baby Diapering (2 oz)

Very good product and no zero baby rashes

Got an expired one

Okay, I have to confess that it's also the ONLY diaper ointment I've ever tried or used...but I seriously swear by this stuff and make it a part of every gift I give to new moms. Pros: 1. It's all natural - the ingredients are safe for your little one so there are no worries there 2. It's safe to use with cloth diapers - all natural ingredients means you don't have to worry about ingredients stripping your cloths 3. It's a stick so you just crank it up and roll it on - no touching the bum 4. You don't have to press hard to get it to spread on and you don't have to gob it on for it to work 5. It's a nice size that easily fits into your diaper bag 6. It smells good! Granted, I like the smell of tea tree oil but I think it's got a very pleasant oder I have used this since my 13-month old was born at the first sign of a pink bum...I can honestly say he has NEVER had a diaper rash...it's gotten pink/red in his crevice on occasion but with consistent use of this at every change when I see a little pink, it has gone away in a day or two. Now I know he's still little but he is gone from breast milk to cows milk and solids exclusively plus 9 teeth and we haven't had any major rash issues. Daycare has a stick and uses it, too, whenever he's a little pink and I think it has prevented anything from getting worse. We may just be lucky but I really think the ingredients are the key. My son also has extremely sensitive skin, including eczema breakouts so I would think he would be prone to diaper rashes as well, yet hasn't had any... Cons: 1. Because it's a roll-on the size of the stick is roughly the size of a quarter or half-dollar, which means you do need to spread the cheeks a bit to get in there...and you definitely want to rub down the edges when you first use it as they aren't rounded 2. Some people might not like the roll-on glide style...I could imagine if your little one had a really really bad rash how having to roll it across might hurt more than quick finger dabs... 3. It's a bit expensive for the amount you get and since I use it whenever his crevice is pink, I have already gone through 3 (including daycare's) since he was born...so that might be a deterrent for some...but I honestly think it is COMPLETELY worth the price! Hope that helps! :)

This is the only stuff safe for use while cloth diapering so right away i was hooked. It also smells good, is all natural, and it works. We don't have to use it very often so our stick has lasted since birth, 10.5 months now!!! I recommend these for anyone with a baby. I actually recommend it all the time :)

Gentle and easy to apply.

I found the GroVia Magic Stick on Amazon, kind of accidentally when I was browsing other diaper creams/balms. Most of the reviews were positive enough to sell me on it even though a baby diaper balm in stick form just literally seems to good to be true. I didn't know it could be possible not to get my hands covered in yucky cream after every diaper change. This is especially problematic for a person like me because I like to keep my nails long and I CANNOT stand when I get that stuff on my hands, especially A+D or Desitin - products I will rave about in regards to clearing up and preventing diaper rash, but also products I absolutely detest the smell of. I have used the BabyBum Glove-Saks trying to keep my hands ick-free but I find them too big for me to maneuver the way I have to and the cream ends up somehow getting transferred from the plastic to everywhere else. While I gave up trying to use them on little man, I find them quite awesome for picking up my dog's poop when I take her for a walk. I had high hopes for those gloves so I was a little bummed when they didn't live up to my expectations. I was skeptical to try anything else that seemed to so easily solve the problem of gunk on the hands so I didn't get my hopes up for GroVia... but I wouldn't have been disappointed if I did. I love this "magic" stick. First, it really does smell awesome. I just read a review where someone said she looked forward to diaper changing because of the lovely scent of GroVia. I absolutely concur. After dealing with yucky baby smells all day, it's really REALLY nice to take in a whiff of a gently scented balm. I love putting it on my son after cleansing very well with WaterWipes . It's a very refreshing fragrance that gives me a little pick me up after having to deal with the ammonia smell of urine and the unmentionable odors of poopy diapers. I really love this stick. The organic ingredients rock. The way the stick spreads is awesome. I can't stand the pasty thickness of most creams. If my son happens to reach down mid-change - I don't have to worry about him smearing thick layers of ointment all over himself and everything else in his reach. Beyond this, there's never any mystery as to how much to use. With other creams I'm always squeezing out too much or too little and either way that just wastes too much time. With GroVia, it's so much easier to measure what you are applying. I LOVE that. I very much disliked excess cream on my hands when I needed my hands free for more important things, like making sure I could close up little man's diaper before he decides it will be funny to pee in my face. I don't have one negative thing to say about this product. I was going to say I'd be a little nervous to use it in case of a major diaper rash issue - due to the fact that it seems so gentle and also there is a worry of transferring bacteria if you aren't careful enough. But then I got to thinking... so far this has been the furthest thing from my mind because since using GroVia - my son's little bum is super soft and never has even the slightest hint of redness or irritation. Hopefully GroVia will keep up the fabulous job of preventing diaper rash so that I won't have to find out what happens if I need to use it in the event of such a problem. If I do find myself in this situation, however, I promise I will update my post to reflect the results of GroVia on an actual diaper rash. I highly recommend this product. i use it at home and always have one in the diaper bag. Once I was rushing around on zero hours of sleep taking my little one to the hospital and did not at all remember deodorant - so I just wiped the top of it and put a little on to mask any potential odors I might have been emitting in that high stress situation. Don't think it's meant to be deodorant but I felt a little less self conscious. I certainly wasn't going to slather on Desitin or A&D to make me smell BETTER. Thanks GroVia, we love you!
