In praise of Triple Paste

Why had I not heard of this stuff before? My God, it made such a difference - Liza spent all day yesterday crying every time she peed, her rash was so bad, so I hit CVS in search of the elusive "Triple Paste" I had read about on some of the "how to fix hard-core diaper rash" web sites. I found it on the bottom (heh) shelf in the baby section, down with the enemas and lice remedies - you know, the other products that no one wants to talk about.

If you've got a baby, you TOTALLY must go out and find some of this (or buy some via the web, if you can't find it locally) because it works so well it's ridiculous. One dose, and the screaming stopped. She doesn't writhe around on the changing table, she doesn't shriek when I pull down her pants, and the bumps and redness are almost gone. That's in ONE DAY, folks. This stuff rocks ... but that still doesn't explain why the manufacturer sells it in one-pound tubs. Anybody who needs that much diaper cream is doing something I don't really want to know about.
