Listen up, because I'm about to rave like a crazy lunatic about something as minor as diaper rash cream. Of all the products I've reviewed in the past three years, Pinxav Diaper Rash Cream is one I've written about a number of times. (I even named it as one of my top 10 products for 2006) Because it's that good.

And once again, Pinxav came to my baby's (butt's) rescue.

Last week we were in diaper rash hell - the kind of diaper rash I hadn't seen ever before. At almost 11 months old, the baby was having one of those poop-every-hour weeks and as a result ended up with the most horrible diaper rash. It was raw, red and looked like it was about to bleed in spots. He would cry every time I even came hear him with a wipe.

I had been using various creams we have in the nursery: Balmex, Butt Paste and Pinxav. I took him to the pediatrician and she told me to use whatever we had with the most zinc oxide in it. So I went home and here's the low down from my nursery:

Bourdreaux's Butt Paste=16% zinc oxide
Balmex=11.3%
Arbonne's Herbal Diaper Rash Cream=12%
Pinxav=30% *

I went straight for the Pinxav as desperate times call for desperate measures. I spent 24 hours literally loading him up with it and within that 24 hours, I'm happy to report that he was almost 100% improved. Seriously - that much. I don't even know how skin that red and raw goes back to being pink and normal looking in such a short time, but it did.

So Pinxav smells great (it's a pink paste that actually has a very pleasant smell) and works amazingly well. And your baby's butt will thank you. Enter mommieswithstyle as the coupon code and you'll receive a free tube (4 oz) with purchase.

*For the sake of accurate reporting, I looked up Desitin, which I didn't have a tube of in my house. It has 40% zinc oxide. I hope we don't have another need for rash cream but if we do, I'll have to test that one again as I haven't yet used it on baby #2.
