To think that Waitrose bottom butter is little more than a posh pot of vaseline?

[TangoSierra]

It feels exactly the same, and in fact I don't find it as nice as oridnary creams. It bit too shiny and greasy. I am sure its vaseline with a posh name.

[BaronessBomburst]

Bottom butter?!

Oh, it's Friday...... Bit early though.

[BaronessBomburst]

[imnotmymum]

was that waitrose was selling such an item then that my mind was working that way before even had breakfast.

It is olive oil with a scent added. I do like it when any very dry skin appears, but (following recommendations from here on MN) I now prefer rosehip oil.

[TangoSierra]

Oh sorry BABY BOTTOM BUTTER !!

[SecondRow]

It's olive oil in non-liquid form. Vaseline is petroleum jelly.

[theDudesmummy]

You could use it anywhere I suppose....

[IslaValargeone]

I hate the smell. I bought some after reading about it on here. However I am a grown woman and I don't want to smell like a milky bar.

[TangoSierra]

Apparently it has become a huge hit as a face cream. For a while you couldn't get it in any of the shops and was selling a hugely inflated prices on ebay.

[Panzee]

:o :o :o

I know what you mean, however. I heard about it while was using it for my baby's bottom and tried it out on my face. Thick, greasy and pointless. Smelled nice though.

[TangoSierra]

It has that heavy vaseline feel to it. and then your hair sticks to your face!

[BaronessBomburst]

Oh, baby bottom butter! I'm laughing so much now I nearly choked on my coffee.

[TangoSierra]

hah! I suppose it could come in handy after a bit of bumsex on a fri, or even before.
If you are into that sort of thing of course!

[theDudesmummy]

Quite nice as an occasional treat for a dry face while you lie in the bath (bit like a moisturising face pack) but too greasy for use in the day etc. You will shine and your hair will indeed all stick to your face. I do happen to like the smell! I have never used it on a baby (but I did have a friend who used to coat her newborn in extra-virgin olive oil).

[theDudesmummy]

Rather use straight olive oil before the bumsex if you have to, I would say!?? the scent in the bottom butter could irritate!

[Ambersivola]

I use it on my hands - just the back of the hands because I don't like hand cream on my palms! It works very well around the cuticles where the skin can tear easily.

[pinkdelight]

"It works very well... where the skin can tear easily"

hence it's perfect for (non-baby) bottoms! this thread is hilarious. love it when the crucial word is forgotten like that.

[dexter73]

I put it on my heels once and it dissolved my flip flops!! I'm not sure it would be going anywhere near my bottom after that!

[TangoSierra]

oh am imagining torn bottoms now
Wonder if the chief of waitrose is aware of what his products are really used for!

[porcamiseria]

erm its £2.50

so why even care, if its £12.50 I would see your issues

[TangoSierra]

Because of the hype Porca

[porcamiseria]

I like it actually, have quite dry skin so every so often use it, even on face (mixed with fake tan)

so ner!

[TangoSierra]

It was a 'miracle' cream and at one stage everyone wanted it, it flew off the shelves, cost up to a tenner a pot on ebay, and I was just saying it wasn't as marvellous as the hype surrounding it.
Agree it was cheap and not bothered about paying that price although I think it was more like 4 quid when I bought it last year.

[StrandedOnThePodium]

Cocoa butter - bottom butter is the only cream I can use on DD everything else rips her bum to shreds
