Do I Need a Diaper Cream Spatula? Debunking Myths

Do I need a diaper cream spatula Earth Mama Organic Diaper Balm

You’ve probably seen versions of a diaper cream spatula or diaper cream applicator. And you may have wondered if you need one.

At first glance, they seem pretty convenient; you avoid getting the diaper cream on your fingers and can easily spread the product all over your baby’s bum.

And if you’re using a thick diaper cream with zinc (that sits on top of the skin), the spatula could make life easier.

The Issue With Diaper Cream Spatulas

But then, there’s the question of keeping that diaper cream spatula clean and the challenge of washing it after every use, particularly when you’re on the go. Not to mention the ease in which your baby can grab the diaper cream applicator off the changing table and pop it right into their mouth.

Fortunately, Earth Mama Organic Diaper Balm comes with 10 all-natural spatulas … aka your fingers.

But seriously, your fingers do a fine job of scooping and spreading this popular balm on those sensitive diaper areas. Here’s the thing about this organic diaper cream: It’s made without zinc, so it’s absorbed by the skin and you don’t need a large amount of it.

And, once you’ve applied that small amount on your baby’s bottom, your personal spatulas are easy-to-clean with a little non-toxic castile-based wash.

If, by chance, any Earth Mama Organic Diaper Balm happens to get in baby’s mouth (and let’s be honest, babies put everything in their mouth), the ingredients are such that you don’t need to worry about that happening.

So as much as the idea of a diaper cream spatula or a diaper cream applicator might seem helpful, here’s a simple fix: Make the switch to Earth Mama’s Organic Diaper Balm and just make sure you have some Earth Mama Castile-Based Wash on hand.

This way, you’ll have no more extra things to clean and you won’t have to worry one bit about what you’re putting on your baby’s bottom. Seems like a win-win for everyone!
