We spoke to these real parent testers to get their review...

How did this product make your life easier?

Elaine: Sudacrem, for me, has always been a go to choice for a nappy cream as well as over ailments. The My Little Sudacream is a great little product as it fits nicely into the changing bag and means it is easily transported. Although, it does seem to hide at the bottom of the changing bag! It has also been useful for my older daughter (5) who loves exploring and scraping her knees!

Sarah: The size and shape of the Sudocrem is smaller than past tubs I have used that are bulky and take up a lot of space in changing bags. The tub I tested fits into any pockets of a bag very easily and does not take up a lot of room. I was sent two tubs, one which I keep in the changing bag and the other in my baby's changing table. Having them stored like this has proven to be very handy. The Sudocrem itself works wonders for nappy rash, dry skin and other skin complaints. If I notice any areas on my baby's skin that appear dry or irritated this helps soothe the skin and the irritation disappears.

Tarryn: The My Little Sudocrem pot is very handy to put in the baby changing bag when we are out and about. It saves quite a lot of room and obviously doesn’t add very much weight like some of the large nappy cream pots can. It is also handy on the changing table at home which can get cluttered with lots of large pots and bottles.

Would you recommend this to other parents?

Agnieszka: Sudocrem is a known barrier cream with antiseptic properties. Good for bottoms to prevent nappy rash but also to treat abrasions, cuts and superficial wounds. Brings cool relief and works very well! This product is helpfully small and light and flat so it fits in a pocket or a handbag with ease and the foil keeps it fresh.

Haylee: I would definitely recommend the little sudocrem to other parents, my own Mum used this on me when I was a little girl so it was a go to purchase when I became a Mum myself. A small amount goes a long way so the small pot lasts a long time. I think it is a perfect addition to new Mum hampers to give as a gift.

Nicola: My Little Sudocrem is a must have for parents on the go. It provides not only the benefit of the versatile Sudocrem cream, but also comes in a handy travel sized pot, making it ideal for putting in your little one’s changing bag when out and about. I experienced no difficulties in opening and closing the pot (though as with most products it did require the use of two hands) and I found the smaller amount of cream more hygienic to use.

Would you choose this product above all others on the market?

Sarah: This is a good product, as mentioned previously, the size and discreteness of the tub, the versatility of the cream, how well it treats nappy rash etc and how little product you actually need to use. My reasons for marking the product down are that you need to wash your hands to get the product off as it is thick, obviously if changing a nappy you would be washing your hands anyway Also if you have any length of nails it gets stuck everywhere due to the way you have to dip your hand in to the tub to get product onto your hand. Due to the product being quite thick it is quite obvious if by accident the cream is wiped or transferred onto another surface.

Tarryn: Having tried lots of different brands over the months, Sudocrem is the only product that I have tried that has ever worked for us and improved my son’s nappy rashes. The handy travel sized pot is great to put in the changing bag without taking up too much space or being too heavy. I would also use if travelling abroad with the baby to save on weight.

Haylee: I would choose this product above others for travel purposes and I feel like the pot is an ideal size to use as a refillable option to keep plastic purchasing down. I think that I would only buy the pot once and then keep refilling from a larger pot, which I also think would work out more cost effective.

What changes would you make to this product?

Nicola: Having regard to other similar products on the market, I would reduce the cost of this item and/or consider selling the product in packs. The higher cost of the product appears to be based on the convenience of the handy travel sized pots and I would therefore be more likely to purchase a slightly bigger, but more cost effective, pot in future. I would however be more willing in future to purchase a pack of smaller pots (for example packs of 3 or 4) at a more competitive price point as opposed to several individual pots.

Sarah: I would change the lid to be a bit more secure and attach some sort of loop so it could be used as a keyring or attached to the outside of a bag for even easier and quicker access when out and about with baby or if you need it for yourself. As a hiker this would be useful to carry for myself and for my baby as she gets older and explores with me for insect bites and grazes etc.

Elaine: It is a great little product, which seems to have been well thought out, it is relatively easy to open, with an as wide as possible area to get the cream. My only real concern with this product is the environmental issue of producing small plastic containers. Personally I will be topping it up for a larger pot as cost and waste are concerns with this, otherwise great, product.
