gWipes. Interesting name, isn’t it? I was intrigued when I read the email we received about gWipes. These wipes seem to be the perfect solution for those transitioning their baby care products from mainstream items to eco friendly ones.
gWipes are biodegradable and what that means is best explained in this video of their gDiaper video (which I think Sarah-Jean is going to review in the future):
How is that for a WOW factor? I know it got my attention and made me realize just how much better it is to use biodegradable products.
Back to my review….
I actually liked these wipes. I tend to be a bit particular about wipes. I am not the type of mom that just buys the cheapest or on sale versions because wipes are suppose to do a couple of important jobs for moms – clean bottoms and hands, faces and even dirty surfaces, as my two year old likes to do. Gotta watch that boy or else he’ll use the whole bag of wipes! But I digress. I like wipes that are wet and hold their moisture. Nothing like opening a package or container of dry wipes….:-( The wipes have to be somewhat absorbent, and have some thickness to it as I prefer not to get my hands full of stool while cleaning a child’s bottom. gWipes met these criteria. The problem is a package of 70 wipes on a week we have been on the go has not lasted very long at all. So, my last criteria is that they come in big packages because my family is big. 
gWipes actually do come in a larger size a box of 12 packages, so they meet that criteria too.
These wipes have a pretty neutral odor. They are unscented, alcohol free, chlorine free, and all natural.
Here’s an ingredient list for those of you who care:
Aqua (purified water), butylene glycol, phospholipid CDM (coconut oil derived mild skin cleanser), polysorbate 20 (wetting agent), tinosan SDC (natural preservative and deodorant), aloe barbadensis leaf juice (aloe, skin conditioner and moisturizer), sodium citrate, tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E acetate, natural anti-oxidant), and allantoin (soothing to skin).
I haven’t looked up all of these ingredients, and am surprised my daughter hasn’t yet either, but on the surface things look good. But perform your own “do diligence” and research it out for yourselves too.
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boudreaux’s Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.
Did you laugh when you read the title of this post? Did you wonder what it was going to be about? Then Boudreaux’s maker, Blairex, did it’s job in getting your attention! “Boudreaux’s Butt Paste® was specifically formulated by a pharmacist with direction from a respected pediatrician to provide effective diaper rash care.”
The Butt Paste has worked really well. It doesn’t smell bad, as a matter of fact it is almost odorless. A definite plus.
With another commercial brand of diaper cream our son really cried when it was applied to his diaper rash, but with Boudreaux’s Butt Paste he did not react negatively at all. That told us that the Butt Paste was not causing him additional pain, unlike the other brand.
We like the fact that Boudreaux’s is All Natural. The active ingredient in the Butt Paste is 16% zinc oxide. Then the other ingredients include: Aloe Vera, Beeswax, Carnauba Wax, Castor Oil, Citric Acid, Hydrogenated Castor Oil and Peruvian Balsam Oil.
Another benefit was the fact that when we apply it overnight, there is no residue left over. The Butt Paste seems to dissolve into the skin more rapidly than most other diaper creams we have tried. We also haven’t noticed that it was hard to wash off, but we usually use a q-tip to apply diaper cream, not our fingers.
So we highly recommend Boudreaux’s Butt Paste and our family will definitely purchase it again.
If you would like to try Boudreaux’s Butt Paste out before you buy it, you can receive your own free sample by going to:

You don’t wear paper underwear. Why should your baby?
What: Kushies Reusable Diapers
Want to give a new mom a gift she’ll really appreciate? Enter Kushies Reusable Ultra Diapers. Not only are they better for babies, but they are better for the environment. Give an eco-friendly gift this year!
Kushies® diapers are made of several layers of 100% soft cotton flannelette. More and more parents are choosing 100% cotton for their baby’s clothing as natural cotton fibres FEEL BETTER. Not only is 100% cotton known to be more comfortable, it’s cooler and more natural to your skin, especially on sensitive body parts! Have you noticed the disposable diaper companies emphasizing ‘GENTLE TOUCH’ – ‘SOFT FEEL’ – ‘COTTON/LIKE’ Everyone is trying to get BACK-TO-BASICS.
Why: Kushies fit better than other cloth diapers I’ve used in the past. I hated folding and pinning and leaks. Ugh! It was such a mess that I gave up after a few days of cloth diapers.
The velcro closures make them super easy to put on and take off. Even the most incompetent dad can’t mess these up.
Not only are they easy to use, virtually leak free, eco-friendly, but they save you bundles of cash too! Check out the chart and be amazed at how much money you will save over a period of 2 1/2 years of diapering your new baby.
I prefer to use the Kushies Flushable Biodegradable Diaper Liners during the time of day I know she’ll make a big mess. Then it’s really easy to clean up. Just lift the liner off the diaper and flush it down the toilet. Done! It also helps your reusable diapers last longer as well.
You can also use the Kushies Washable Diaper Liners for Ultra Diapers for extra absorbency like nap time, bed time, or when you and your baby aren’t at home.
Don’t feel like you have to exclusively use cloth diapers either. I only use cloth diapers when I’m at home. When I go out, it’s just much easier to throw on a disposable. I’m still saving loads of cash by using the cloth diapers at home though, because instead of using like 8 disposable diapers per day, I’m only using 2-3 a week.
I could go on and on about these diapers, but I will at least say this: If you want to try cloth diapering, Kushies is your best bet. They are the most affordable, easiest to use, most convenient, and most comfortable for your little one.

What: Pampers Swaddlers Diapers
I know… not a very glamorous gift, but new parents really appreciate diapers! I remember when my daughter was a newborn and going through like 10 diapers a day. It’s hard! So if you know some new parents, give them a break and buy them a great big box of diapers for Christmas! I can promise they will appreciate it!!
Pampers are great because they cost less than Huggies, are less bulky and more comfortable for your newborn, AND they are really soft too! Great deal to buy them online too because they ship for FREE from Amazon! That’s cheaper than gasoline…
Price: Only $41.99 for 234 diapers.

Diaper Bags
What: Ju Ju Be BeLight Diaper Bag
This is the diaper bag I use everyday. I have other diaper bags, but this one quickly became my favorite because it’s so light weight that I can stuff all I need in it and it’s still easy to carry, unlike other bags that weigh a ton even when they’re empty. Plus this bag has just the right amount of pockets so you can easily find what you’re looking for.
I carry 3 diapers in the left outside pocket, a compact container of wipes in the right outside pocket, the matching changing pad (included!) in the back pocket with my pink Razr cell phone, and everything else in the main center pocket. Plus there is a handy little zippered pocket on the inside to put your wallet, keys, and whatever else you want protected and secure.
It’s definitely the perfect diaper bag. At least it is for me! I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a diaper bag that is light yet has room to carry all you need. Plus it’s really stylish too! I got 2 compliments on it while I was out the other day!!!
Price: $35

Does your sweet little baby have an uncomfortable diaper rash? It happens sometimes, even though we try so hard to prevent it. And it seems like once it’s there, it’s so hard to get rid of it.
Not if you have Desitin Diaper Rash Ointment though! There are so many different brands and it could take several children to find the best one, so we’ve done the hard work for you. If you want to cure your child’s diaper rash quickly and easily, follow these 3 easy steps:
1. Change diapers 2x more often than normal. If you usually change your child’s diaper 6-8 times a day, step it up to 10-12 times a day.
2. After gentle cleansing, let the area dry completely before applying a thick layer of Desitin Diaper Rash Ointment.
3. Take child outside into the sunshine with no diaper on for at least 10 minutes a day until diaper rash clears up. Sunlight helps heal the skin and dry out infection.
Our official “grand opening” is today, January 23rd 2008, although you will find posts older than this that have been imported from The Fashionable Housewife blog.
