This may seem like a weird one but hear me out; it’s NOT because I’m grossed out of rubbing diaper cream on my kid’s butt lol. It’s mainly because I have long nails and I’m terrified of accidentally scratching her because babies squirm like crazy. This is soft and spreads the cream perfectly. It’s also useful because cream is often very thick and it just easier not to get it on your hands 🤷🏻‍♀️
