**Question:** Which diaper rash cream is easy to apply?

**Short answer:** Boogie Wipes Diaper Rash Spray has the best record for ease of application: 27 of 27 parents said it spread easily, though it is a spray, a different format from the creams and ointments below it. A+D Ointment is next at 8 of 9 and Triple Paste Diaper Rash Ointment at 7 of 9, with just a handful of parents commenting on each. The Honest Company Sensitive Everyday Diaper Rash Cream trails at 4 of 9, and Burt's Bees Baby Bee Diaper Rash Ointment is no better at 4 of 9.

**What stands out:** Ease of application and results do not always go together. 58% of Triple Paste reviews say it cleared the rash fast, but just 12% mention spreading easily and 28% say it costs too much.
