    This product arrived so quickly, I was very impressed! The packaging was great as it was all recyclable with no plastic rubbish just to fill up the box.
    As soon as I opened the cream bottle the smell was amazing and it was very easy to spread on my daughter’s bottom during a nappy change. It provides a great coverage of the skin and definitely helps to keep moisture away and prevent any type of nappy rash 👍
    My daughter has pretty chunky thighs and the product is great to put inbetween these rolls.
    I will definitely be recommending it to all of my family and friends to use for their babies skin.
    I love that it’s natural and a NZ product!
    The information booklet it came with was great as it showed all of the other products available.
    Thank you so much for giving us the chance to try the Weleda Nappy Change Cream I will definitely be buying more in the future.

    Thank you for the chance to trial the Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream . I found the bright yellow packaging attractive and the cream tube really easy to dispense and a bonus was that the cream itself has a very pleasant scent. You don’t need to use a lot of this product and it has a nice smooth cream texture which provided great coverage. I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked on my 2 year old who suffers with nappy rash particularly around teething time and cleared things up for her within two days as she has quite sensitive skin. I also loved the fact that this cream was made from natural ingredients and was a great size to fit into my nappy bag. I would be definitely buying Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream again for my next baby and highly recommending it to my friends and new expectant mothers.

    Love this nappy cream. The packaging is easy to use with its squeeze tube and the cream comes out easily. The cream had a nice smell and is very easy to apply. We found the cream works really well and clears up nappy rash very quickly. Love that it is natural !

    Thank you for the opportunity to trial your Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream. The first thing that you notice when you open the tube of cream is the beautiful scent of Calendula the next is the richness and softness of the cream it isn’t so thick that it doesn’t feel like it is going to ‘breath’ like a lot of zinc based nappy balms. It glides on white and quickly melts beautifully into the skin leaving a comfortable layer on delicate skin. I love the ethos of this company being very transparent about the source of its contents and although pricey as far as balms go I would say a little goes a long way and it is most definitely great value for money. The only gripe I would say is the tube (metal) , in little hands it gets mangled and could be easily prone to piercing and splitting open and also being a screw on top can get fiddly with those wriggly babes but other than that I am sold and as far as a everyday barrier cream its perfect and we will continue to be a consumer of this product and will be looking at other products available in their line – Gemma Vesey

    This nappy cream is a really good product. The packaging is easy to use with its squeeze tube and the cream comes out easily. It comes in a great sized tube which I imagine will last for ages so really good value for money as well. The cream smells nice and is easy to apply, a little goes a long way and the cream works really well as I only had to use it a few times for the nappy rash to clear up on my baby’s bum. Love that it’s all natural as well, will definitely be buying this again.

  6. Shantahliacat 18/06/2020 at 11:10 am

    First impression – wow! This cream smells absolutely amazing!
    We were already big fans of the Weleda Kids shampoo however we’re yet to try the Nappy Change balm.
    I have 2 chunky thighed girls who are prone to chafing but also have very sensitive skin. We have been using the nappy change balm for two weeks now and are loving it! It’s a nice consistency and gentle on the skin Weleda is definitely one of our most trusted brands and we will definitely be continuing to use the balm 😊

  7. Seth Holten 18/06/2020 at 11:02 am

    This product gets a 5 star from us. It is smooth and smells devine. Its the only product in my opinion that works extremely well!! Not just wewelwewell but beyond expectations. Very much recommend to ALL parents

  8. Yogi 17/06/2020 at 11:15 pm

    I had never used a Weleds product before but I had heard really good things about the brand. I had very high expectations with this product. And I am pleased to say the Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream did not disappoint.
    It had arrived just in time, as my 17 month old had developed a really bad nappy rash. I started using the Weleda Calendula Nappy Change and I noticed a difference the next day. I was so happy. Within about 3 days the rash had disappeared. There is a light scar where the rash was but I can see it fading.
    I also love how the Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream comes in a tube rather than a tub. I dont have dip my dirty fingers in which means I get fresh cream at each use.
    At nearly $20 I think this is a bit pricey. And I think that is the main reason I had not used it before. But I expect the tube will last a while so I guess I wouldn’t mind paying the price.
    I use Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream daily to prevent anymore nappy rashes.

    This cream worked wonders on my ‘little big boy’s’ tooshie! He often experiences redness and rashes that can get painful. The Weleda cream not only smelt lovely, but it was a great thick consistency and easy to apply with no irritation. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to try this product out 🙂

  10. rachlouise 16/06/2020 at 8:16 pm

    We have been loving this Nappy change cream by Weleda made with calming calendula. Firstly I love everything the Weleda brand stands for from 100% natural ingredients to no animal testing. Its a brand that is family friendly and a brand that I know and trust. This nappy cream is epic! It soothes my daughter nappy rash and it is gone by morning! It truely lives up to its claims and also lives up to my expectations and more. It retails for $19.90. A little goes a long way so a tube will last a long time. I especially love how well this cream rubs in and doesn’t leave a major residue like sudocream for example. Its super easy to rub in and clean off as well without any irritation. The tube is a perfect size. It has a good lid and the product is easy to squeeze out – which is perfect because theres nothing worse than having to get a fidgety lid off and / or dig in a tub for product when your in a rush. Overall I would say this is the best nappy cream I have found by far and I rate this product a 10/10. Its safe to say that we will be repurchasing this. Thanks for the opportunity to try this product out and review it. Its now a permanent part of out nappy change routine.

    We are a big fan of Waleda products just because of its natural components in it. It claims to be free from synthetic fragrances, preservatives, aluminium salts, nano particles, mineral oils & GMOs. When we trialled the Waleda Calendula Nappy Cream on my 4 months old son’s sensitive skin, it didn’t cause any skin irritation and we like the fact that it is a super skin barrier cream.

    Pros
    All natural stuff in it
    Doesn’t cause skin irritation on my son’s skin
    Smells great
    Easy to rub on
    It cost $19.90 for a tube but we only need a tiny amount and I am sure the tube last forever

    Cons
    Not really a con but a smaller size for the nappy bag will be superb

  12. Chhlnz 16/06/2020 at 11:42 am

    This product is brilliant. Great on my daughter’s sensitive skin, and a pleasant fragrance. Practical too as the tube is easy to take with us, and you don’t have to dip your fingers in to get the cream, just squeeze some out. The box made a great toy!

  13. Roxliley 15/06/2020 at 8:18 pm

    First of all, thank you for giving me the opportunity to trial this amazing cream. Weleda have definitely made a very smooth yummy smelling easy to use cream. Nothing like using the boring old zinc cream which isn’t easy to smear onto sensitive areas. My son is trying to toilet train so nappy changes can be a challenge. This cream isn’t too thick and goes on smoothly around boys areas. Very gentle and smells delicious. Will continue to use and highly recommend for new or existing mums. A great baby shower gift as practical and safe for every change. A little does go a long way.

  14. Sexcpinkplayboy 15/06/2020 at 4:06 pm

    Thanks for the opportunity to trial this product love the brightness of it, works well in my babies bottom to clear her rash which is great . We have struggled to find something that works quick and effective and this does . Thank you

  15. Ruzan 15/06/2020 at 1:43 pm

    I always loved Weleda products and had high expectations with this nappy cream. I am happy to say this product met all my expectations and even more. It comes in gorgeous bright packaging, it’s pretty, eye catching and I like to give to my son to play with until I change the nappy. The tub is very easy to use and the cream comes out easily which is great relief.
    The texture is thick, bright white and I have noticed it is not fully absorbs into the skin but it’s because of zinc I guess. However it’s fine for me since it’s nappy area and you can’t see it anyway.
    The smell is subtle, free and lovely.
    It doesn’t work as fast as I’d like but in few days it clears all redness. I think this cream is perfect for sensitive skin and I love that it keep bub free of chemicals.
    I’d recommend this product. Thanks for letting us to try it.

  16. Jackie Horgan 15/06/2020 at 12:39 pm

    My six month old has had a nappy rash since a week old, varying from slight to severe. I have tried several shop bought and also doctor prescribed creams, most not clearing the rash. Even the couple that did, the rash soon returned.

    The Weleda Calendula cream is great. After a couple of days use the rash had almost disappeared. I am hopeful that the rash will completely clear with continued use, managing to do something that even prescribed cream has not. A massive bonus being that this cream is natural and safe containing no nasty ingredients, perfect for bubba!
    It has a lovely scent, is easy to use and not too thick. It goes on well and is easy to spread. The oils do separate slightly from the cream in the tube so when you squeeze it out, there is a bit of oil surrounding the cream but it makes no difference as they mix back up when spread on the baby bum.
    I would definitely recommend this cream and will be purchasing in future to use.

  17. Tashatut 15/06/2020 at 11:46 am

    Thank you for the chance to trial out weleda nappy balm! First up there packaging is great, love the twist lid. Once opened I noticed the lovely smell it had and squeezed out a small amount to use on my son. It has great coverage and I liked the barrier it formed. Worked well on my sons red spots overnight. Overall I would buy this product after this one is finished.

  18. Oliver Harnett 15/06/2020 at 8:26 am

    Thank you for sending this to me 🙂 everyone seems so happy with their results so it must just be me…my 15month old suffers terrible rashes from poo when hes teething and usually a cream at night will clear it by morning but this cream unfortunately made no differnece each time I used it

  19. Em.hendo 15/06/2020 at 8:16 am

    As soon as I opened the box I knew I would love this product! The screw on lid meant my son wouldn’t be able to open it (at least not for a while!) And the metal tube means I know I will be able to squeeze every last drop out. The consistency of the cream is so smooth and rich, it spreads on very well without much effort or clumping. The cold also doesn’t affect the consistency which I have noticed with other products. Between nappy changes I can see that the cream has worked and redness is reduced greatly. I definitely would recommend this to friends.

  20. samanthaolivia 14/06/2020 at 8:04 pm

    Our trial of the Weleda Calendula Nappy Cream arrived at exactly the right time. My 14 month old had started to get a painful looking nappy rash and it needed immediate intervention. The cream is nice and thick, and smells great. The tube is easy to get the cream out of particularly when you have a wriggly toddler on your hands.
    I applied twice a day for the first few days and then once a day at night – her rash had started to clear by the third day and by the fifth there was no sign of it. I’m now using it at night as a barrier cream to help protect the skin, particularly when she’s in the one nappy for approx 12 hours. I really like the product and will be purchasing again in the future.

  21. Candice101 14/06/2020 at 6:41 pm

    I love the smell and consistency of this cream. It doesn’t leave a nasty residue to my hands after applying it nor does it stain my daughters clothes if I get some on them. My daughter loves the packaging, she carried it around with her the day we got it.

    The packaging is my only concern- it’s a great size for the nappy bag but needs both hands to open/close the tube which is difficult with a wriggling toddler especially when out and about. I would also be concerned the tube would crack and leak out after multiple uses.

    Overall a great product that I would suggest to my friends and family but a flip top tube would take it from great to amazing

  22. Angelgirl081 14/06/2020 at 4:42 pm

    Miss 3 was given this Weleda Calendula Nappy Change Cream to try and her first reaction was “yay that smells yummy”. She is currently transitioning from Nappies to knickers (one great thing about lockdown) but we are finding she’s getting nappy rash even more at the moment due to wiping with toilet paper etc. We have been using it for a week now and I am amazed at how good it actually is (not that I really doubted it, all Weleda products we have used in the past have been fantastic). I liked that it isn’t too oily. At first squeeze a clear glob came out and I thought it was going to be clear like an ointment, but it is a cream and after that bit it has been a normal creamy consistency, because it absorbs into her skin it doesn’t irritate her which is great. It also has a really amazing smell as little miss pointed out. Very pleasent. I imagine the tube is going to last quite a while as you only need a small amount at a time. The tube is very durable too but is that easy roll metal that we can roll up as we go to get it all out.
    I have a few friends with babies due soon so I will be getting a few more tubes to gift them 🙂

  23. Brookestorey 13/06/2020 at 4:12 pm

    This product is amazing! My daughter loves the smell and actually lets me use this. It cleared up her existing nappy rash and we have had no more since using it. I will be purchasing this going forward.

  24. rhea29 12/06/2020 at 10:01 pm

    I loved being able to trial this product my youngest boy gets bad nappy rash and it cleared up his bum soo quickly. I also loved the nice packing and how easy it was to squeeze out of the tube and lastly it smelled lovely it’s definitely a great product I would buy.

  25. Stepanka 12/06/2020 at 9:26 pm

    This is one of the best nappy creams ever I think. It worked on a really stubborn rash only after couple of uses, I could see such a big difference to the better really quickly. My littliest one is already 3 years old but still gets the occasional nappy rash, and when he gets it it’s really a nasty one, really stubborn one. This cream was godsend. I love the texture, easy to smooth. I do not like the tube though. It bursted in the middle, making a small crack and every time I needed to squeeze some, some cream would come through this “extra” hole as well. But that is the only negative, and I will definitely purchase this one again. Thank you.

  26. Miss_Laloli 12/06/2020 at 7:16 pm

    Firstly we love how natural and sustainable this product is! That’s a big tick from our whanau. The design is appealing being so bright and fresh, citrusy actually. The actual cream smells nice and we felt like it helped with some dry skin our baby had but we would have liked a little more time to really see results.

  27. mumjess 12/06/2020 at 3:54 pm

    This is the best nappy cream I have tried! The product for review arrived when my baby was a week old and she had just developed her first teeny bit of redness and nappy rash. It was so great to use something natural on her lovely fresh new skin and the cream did a great job. I use some most changes as it now acts as a gentle barrier cream to protect her skin.
    I would definitely recommend this and would buy it again and also as a really practical baby shower gift.

  28. mel yu 12/06/2020 at 3:09 pm

    Loved this cream!!! Very pleasant scent and can be applied on easily! Best of all.. it helped so much with the nappy rash!!

    • Maur 12/06/2020 at 3:32 pm

      Absolutely love weleda 🥰 used this cream on nappy rash for my girl and it was fully gone by the morning, so super fast working. Smell is great and the tube is a handy size. Thank you for this opportunity, totally recommend to all mums!

  29. Rebekkaa 12/06/2020 at 2:51 pm

    I am so thrilled to be able to trial this & give my thoughts on it!
    Firstly, I love the packaging. It’s bright yellow/orange box makes it easy to find & would pop out on the shelf when looking at nappy creams. Mostly I find that baby skin products have bland & boring packaging that makes it hard to choose what to go for. This one would definitely catch the eye & scream ‘pick me’

    Secondly, I love the tube it comes in. It makes it so easy to use instead of having to open a tub & scoop some out to use like other creams I’ve tried. It’s also the perfect size to carry around with you in a nappy bag.

    Third, I love the smell! It’s not to strong but it’s not to subtle either.

    & fourth, it works so quick!! Lately my daughter has been getting small rashes on her bum & there was a noticeable difference after just 1 use! After the 2nd use you could hardly see anything & after the third nappy change there was no rash at all!
    I will be buying this from now on! & I will recommend it to absolutely everyone I know that has a baby!!

  30. Timmi6981 12/06/2020 at 2:40 pm

    Thankyou for giving our family a chance to review this! My wee girl struggles with a super sensitive bum and this helped clear it up over night!! Was amazing and natural!
