Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Ashley on Tuesday 15 May, 2012I've used this product for 4 years and 2 boys. I use it as a rash spray when they have a little redness and irritation. I personally had some irritation from being really sicck and used it and it stung BAD for a minute and then numbed everything and healed (sorry for TMI but I like to try the products I use on my kids and was really sore so I figured why not). My second son sometimes squeels when I spray this on him and now I know why-it's kind of like the feeling of washing a cut. I give this 5 stars for the fact that it works and works well when my boys have been a little irritated-if there's an actual rash you need something stronger for sure.

It has an oily base so we have no trouble using it as a spray on my sons bottom. It cleans the sticky poop right off. We dont mind the smell. I tried cal. baby diaper wash but it was too harsh and we hated that smell. I think this product is a winner Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Erin on Sunday 24 July, 2011 Personally, I love the smell of this stuff. However, I don't find the spray-on strategy to be very effective at getting poop off. I've learned that I prefer to use pre-wetted cloth wipes, and this stuff is not economical for that use. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Kelly on Monday 20 June, 2011 Cotton Babies Verified Purchase I did not purchase this from Cotton Babies but rather from a local cloth diapering store. I really like this product. It has a nice smell and I find that it soothes any irritation my daughter may have. I will definitely be buying more. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Amanda on Friday 15 April, 2011 Love it! Smells great, works well to freshen and clean a little bottom. You obviously need to have wet your wipes with water also before you use the spray. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Melodie on Wednesday 06 April, 2011 I am surprised to see mixed reviews regarding this Diaper Potion Lotion. We love this product. My daughter was getting rashes and within a couple of days of using this spray the rashes cleared.
The product smells great, a little goes a long way, it takes away the rash and does not sting my daughters skin like some other products that we have bought. LOVE IT!
For others whose children are experiencing rashes check the detergent that you are using on your cloth diapers. If you have a build up then no matter how much spray you put on your child - the rash will continue as the problem is the build up not the lotion potion.

Maybe I'll eventually get past the smell but for now it was just a waste of money. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by NaLeah on Thursday 13 January, 2011 I didn't expect to love this product as much as I do. My baby's skin is EXTREMELY sensitive and once I began using this stuff, her rash has disappeared and hasn't returned yet. I had tried both homemade solutions and just plain water on my wipes, and she still would have a red bum. I'm not sure what specific ingredient in this is helping her skin, but I love this. Not only does it work well - it smells great too. I'll definitely be buying more in the future!

After being on the plane, my 7 month olds bottom was very red. I used this Diaper Lotion spray twice and her reddness and slight diaper rash went away. I really like how the smell wasn't over powering and my little girl seemed to like it.

I think different skins may react differently to it. I was given a witch hazel spray postpartum to help heal after a long vaginal birth and it was too strong for my skin and gave me a burning sensation. Yet obviously it has helped other people or they wouldn't have given it to me. So just be cautious if you try this and observe any reactions. Might be the witch hazel!

Too bad! Rating: [1 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Carol on Saturday 09 January, 2010 This product gave my son a rash. I love the idea of the product, and didn't mind the smell, but within a day of using it as a wipe spray, my son developed a bad rash. I immediately stopped using it and the rash cleared right up. I would not recommend for babies with sensitive skin. Rating: [3 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Christina on Friday 07 August, 2009 Cotton Babies Verified Purchase Unlike the others who have left reviews I do not care for the smell of this spray. Actually no one in my family does. The lavendar scent is pretty powerful. It does a good job cleaning, but you have to shake it before you spray. I prefer Bum Genius bottom cleaner. In my opinion if cleans better and certainly smells so much better than the lotion potion. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Rebecca on Tuesday 17 March, 2009 Cotton Babies Verified Purchase This is the most amazing product to keep pesky diaper rash at bay! I use bum genius diapers and this is a must have companion to those diapers. It smells lovely and fresh and my very sensitive girl has no reactions to it as she's had with other creams. Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! :D Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Emily on Friday 13 March, 2009 Cotton Babies Verified Purchase Love it. Smelled a lot like tea tree oil at first, which I don't usually care for, but I'm totally used to and pleased with the smell now. I'm not paying $2 more for the BG brand just for a maybe better smell but the same amount of product. I got the concentrate so I can make more! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Christine on Friday 22 August, 2008 Excellent product for my son's ultra sensitive skin, he uses Diaper Lotion Potion and Bum Genius diapers and has never had diaper rash! The only time he had a rash was when he used commercial diapers! I love this product and actually use it as deodorant and it works amazing! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Kendra on Saturday 02 August, 2008 Cotton Babies Verified Purchase Very calming on my son's sensitive skin. Very helpful with the cloth wipes. I keep one on the changing table and one in the diaper bag. Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Cassandra on Thursday 10 July, 2008 Cotton Babies Verified Purchase I don't like this very much. Yes it smells pretty good, but that's about it. I shake it and shake it and it seems like it still has the same amount of oil floating on the top as it did the day it arrived. Plus it seems like sometimes it takes a lot sprays to get my son completely clean. Maybe it's just because he's only 2 1/2 months old and his bm's are loose, I don't know. I really wanted to like this but I just can't justify paying so much when I can use water instead. Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Susan on Tuesday 10 June, 2008 Cotton Babies Verified Purchase OK, it smells great. It's easy to carry in a diaper bag. But it doesn't clean off sticky a solids-fed baby's bowel movements easily or as thoroughly as I would like. I tried hard to like it, but I found another product that really works a lot better for us. View all 27 reviews |
