CJ's BUTTer® vs. Coconut Oil

This will be a short review of how CJ's BUTTer® and Coconut Oil compare when used for diaper rash.

Coconut oil: 

Texture: Solid until you massage it a bit with your fingers, then it turns to a liquid. Greasy.

Smells like: Not anything really

Price: $8.99 for 31.5 oz. HERE (possibly cheaper at your local grocery store)

Barrier: Doesn't always provide a good barrier since the oil can be "rinsed" off when baby urinates

Reason you might choose it: Cheap, all natural, works with cloth diapers

Did it work for me? Yes! It took about a day and a half to clear a rash  

CJ's BUTTer®:

Texture: Nice spread-ability, greasy at first but soaks in to make skin soft

Smells like: Any of THESE options, or unscented

Price: $19 for 12 oz HERE

Barrier:  Provides a better barrier to help skin heal than coconut oil provides

Reason you might choose it: All natural, works with cloth diapers, can choose scents, better barrier protection

Did it work for me? Yes! It took almost a day to clear a rash 

Neither of these options worked as well for me as a medicated cream, but a medicated cream cannot be used with cloth diapers (unless you take certain precautions--like liners).
