Question about triple paste

[TwoBees]

Why is triple paste supposedly so fantastic? The package claims it is "medicated," but it contains a smaller percentage of zinc than Desitin, which is 1/3rd the price. So why is it supposedly better than the other mass-market diaper rash creams?

No idea but it worked wonders with DS so now we are complete believers. Desitin didn't help with it. Maybe because it is less medicated?

I really don't know. It's the only thing that works really well for us though. Love the stuff!

[mom2beofboy/girltwins]

For me, i think the reason it worked better than all the others was because of the thickness of it. No other cream comes close. You can tell how well it stays on their skin just by the effort it takes to get it off your hands after you apply it.

best cream ever. the thickness is ideal

and, for a bad rash do the following (I read this once and was shocked that the rash was gone in two hours):

apply a very thin layer of aquaphor first. Then , a huge dollop of triple paste. it works wonders!

Plus it does not stink like desitin. Agree that it is the best diaper cream out there.

There is currently a $1.50 coupon on coupons.com.

! I have no idea why it works so well, but it just does. And that was good enough for me.

I tried Desitin first, and it doesn't work as well. So I end up using less ointment with Triple Paste, since it works faster, which means it's not a lot more expensive in reality. A tub of Triple Paste lasts forever in our house.

I didn't think it worked nearly as well as original (40% zinc oxide) Desitin. I don't see how anything can be thicker than that stuff!
