I am continuously in the hunt for non sticky nappy creams. My bub uses Avent Magic Soothing Cream or Innoxa Nappy Cream. These 2 are great!!! Unfortunately they go out of stock rather quickly. What nappy creams do you use? I've tried Johnson's and Curash but both are quite difficult to apply as they are too sticky IMHO. Your thoughts?
I use Bepanthen..but it's sticky but the best one so far I have used I tred them all! It goes on very smoothly and wipes off easily too.
i use curash, it can be sticky but its the best. theres another i use its called calmoseptine, but its very gloggy like, but its good. very gppd for nappy rash, skin irritations
I use B.O.Z. Ointment. It's thick, but not really sticky, I usually wipe excess off onto the nappy before I do it up and my hand feels clean...except for the just changed the nappy part...it's really great for bad rashes, it stopped DD getting a rash at all when she had a virus, and bad diarrea, a few mths ago. Other than that I just use papaw ointment if i notice any minor redness...and nothing the rest of the time, neither of my bubs have been prone to rashes..

I use Skin Basics castor oil and zinc cream. It's from the chemist and costs little. It may feel sticky due to the zinc, but it's fantastic. I've had a 500g tub for eight months and have barely scratched the surface.

Boy there are lots of creams to choose from!!! Thanks for everyone's input. My Sam hasn't had any major nappy issues but I'll sure to keep an eye out for the creams you suggested. ;)
I used to use the Heinz Sudocream - was thick but not gluggy. Switched to cornflour though, which is not sticky at all :laughing:

Brauers !!!!!
Tis the best stuff ever hehe.
I found this a few months ago after being at my wits end as Boof had a really bad teething rash yet again & the curash cream wasnt doing anything except ruin my cloth nappies !!!! :thumbsdown:
I find now that the curash cream is a good idea for a barrier type cream but as it tends to keep everything moist it can make things worse.
The brauers soothes his bottom & pretty much deals with the rash in a few hours tis a natural product using calendula & other goodies.
So i now use just the curash powder or cornflour as a barrier type deal as it doesnt harbour the moisture while the brauers nappy rash cream is there for when he gets sore.
