If you have a little one in diapers, like I do, you know the expense of diapering – amongst other things. This week we can catch a little break. WalMart has Pampers wipes for $1.97, and there was a $2 Pampers wipes coupon in the 6/6 P&G coupon insert. I bought two extra papers yesterday for the Gillette coupons, so I was able to get three tubs of pampers wipes for just the tax. I really cleaned up!
I had to fill a prescription today, so I went to a little further CVS that would take my Winn-Dixie $25 gift card coupon for a new RX. I had to wait 15-20 minutes for my prescription, so I walked around the store, and found an incredible deal. I have blogged before about my love of Triple Paste, but it is very pricey at $30 a jar. Well, wouldn’t you know, they had it on clearance for 50% OFF! I’m not so sure why it was so cheap, but it made my day. I was able to use a $15 ECB from a glucose monitor 2 weeks ago, an $8 one from the Gillette body soap last week, and a CVS $3 off $15 body care item. I bought two of them, and ended up paying $4 for $60 in the best diaper rash cream. Hopefully that will hold us over until my youngest is out of diapers…
I was anxious to try these new diapers when I heard that they are so much thinner than the standard Pampers. And they are amazingly thin, which is quite impressive. It lets baby move around a lot easier, and fit nicer under his shorts. But, there no elastic waistband to keep them snug arough the waist. I just finished a 23 count bag, and they may keep the baby a little drier, but they are not as absorbant. After the first night, I decided this is not a great overnight diaper.
After trying nearly every cream at CVS, my pediatrician recommended “Triple Paste” diaper rash cream by Summers Laboratories for my babies severe diaper rash. The price was rather shocking at over $30 for a 16 ounce jar, but it is well worth the money. It goes on like a thick paste, and heals the skin so quickly, while creating a barrier between the tender skin and any future diaper wetness. Because of the thickness, it is less likely to be completely rubbed off or absorbed by a diaper like so many other brands. This is the only diaper rash treatment I will use on my babies bottom, and well worth the price.
