Over the past few weeks I have been trying out, here and there, a new product in the the Honest Company line: Honest Soothing Bottom Wash.
This product is meant to be a supplementary cleaning/refreshing aid during diaper changes. You can use it for any and every diaper change if you wish, but the impression that I get is that it is particularly recommended for the gross diaper changes. No need to elaborate on that point.
And so, I’ve done most of my testing on those exact type of diaper changes. And my thoughts on the product?
Meh.
It smells nice, and I suppose in the midst of a gross diaper change that has some sort of worth. But I didn’t think that it made gross diaper changes significantly easier/faster to clean up after. Honestly, if I’m going to add a step to a diaper change, it needs to really be worth it, and I failed to see how this was the case.
Now I will say that Layah seemed to think it was fun. It made her squeal and squirm, which is cute…unless you are in the middle of a gross diaper change, and then squirming is TERRIBLE.
Why Try It?
If you don’t feel like your wipes are getting the job done sufficiently, then this might be worth a try. But my honest opinion is that this is a product to skip. It retails for $9.95, so if you are going to try it, get it as part of your essentials bundle because the per item price for a bundle is $7.20.
New to Honest Company?
Despite my lackluster review of this particular product, there are MANY products that I have tried and loved (and yes, a handful of others that failed to impress me).

I also disagree on this one. This product has witch hazel, which is soothing for the bottom after a gross diaper. I didn’t even realize it was supposed to help me clean up the diaper! I use it after clean up and in a new diaper and it has helped keep my little one rash free. One spray is all it takes, so it will last me a very long time too!

I LOVE the bottom wash. When my son is ‘ridin’ dirty’ as my husband calls it, these are a time saver. My son is at the stage where he tries to fly away when it comes to diaper changes and nothing distracts him. He likes the feeling of the spray hitting his booty and it helps to remove the grodiness of a poopy diaper. I use less wipes and it keeps his bum clean. Love it

I love the bottom wash, more to get the smell off my daughters butt after a change always find with wipes you can still kind of smell it. also great for cloth diapers like flips to spray the inside and wipe to get the pee smell out.

I LOVE your reviews!! This is the first one that I completely disagree with you though! The bottom wash spray has been an amazing find for me! My baby’s get nasty poo diapers that just doesn’t like to come off but with the spray (yes he squirms a bit) it comes off without any problems. Before I was using many more wipes and the wiping was hurting his bum. Thank you for all your reviews though and I can’t believe I’m such a ditz and didn’t notice how I could save even more by placing things in my +3 instead of the bundle! THANK YOU!

I’m glad you gave it a try! It just goes to show that just because one person doesn’t like something, that doesn’t mean that the next person will feel the same way! And I’m SO glad you have learned the trick for utilizing the +3 area to put those lower cost items in which will actually save you money, or enable you to get more for your money, at least! 🙂
