How effective is Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment?
As a preventative, Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment is a very effective nappy cream. However, I’ve found both Sudocrem and Metanium to be more effective at getting rid of severe nappy rash.
As such, I’ve found it best to have both Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment and a back-up nappy rash cream like Sudocrem or Metanium on hand at all times.
Is Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment good value for money?
Yes. You can buy Bepanthen Nappy Care Ointment in either a 30g or 100g tube depending on your needs. The smaller tube retails at around £4 while the larger can be bought for around £8.
It’s cheaper than the 30g Metanium nappy rash cream, but more expensive per gram than Sudocrem, so I would always choose the latter. That said, it’s a very comfortable nappy cream to use, especially with a newborn, which is why I still think it offers great value for money.
