Shop Metanium at withaid, a UK based and regulated online pharmacy. This brand page is designed for parents and carers looking to buy Metanium nappy-area skincare online, compare formats, and choose the most practical pack size for home or on-the-go. Metanium is best known for barrier-style products intended to sit on the skin’s surface and help reduce contact with wetness and everyday irritants that can contribute to soreness.
Not sure where to start? For routine protection at each change, many shoppers choose an everyday barrier option. If you want quicker, hands-free application, the easy spray format can be a convenient alternative. If your baby already has sore, irritated skin in the nappy area, you may prefer a dedicated nappy rash ointment—always follow the label and seek advice if symptoms are severe, persistent, or you’re unsure what’s suitable for your child.

FAQs
Which Metanium product is best for everyday nappy changes?
If you’re focused on routine protection, an everyday barrier option is commonly chosen for use during changes. Compare ointment sizes or pick the spray format if you prefer quicker application.
What’s the difference between Metanium barrier ointment and the easy spray barrier lotion?
They’re similar in purpose but different in format. The spray is designed for light, even coverage, while the ointment is applied by hand and can feel more traditional.
How do I choose between the 40g and 80g Metanium barrier ointment?
The 40g size is convenient for travel or occasional top-ups, while the 80g size can be better value if you use a barrier product regularly at home.
How often can I use Metanium products?
Many nappy-area barrier products are intended for use at nappy changes, but you should always follow the instructions on the label and do not exceed recommended use.
Can Metanium be used on newborns or very young babies?
Check the product label for age guidance and directions. If you’re unsure what’s appropriate for your baby’s skin, a pharmacist can help you choose safely.
When should I speak to a pharmacist or GP about nappy rash?
Seek advice if the rash is severe, weeping, blistered, bleeding, spreading beyond the nappy area, your baby seems unwell, or symptoms are not improving despite routine care.
Can I use Metanium alongside other creams or medicated products?
Using multiple products can affect how they sit on the skin. If you’re already using another cream (including antifungal or medicated treatments), ask a pharmacist before combining.
Safety information: Always read and follow the label and any leaflet provided. Stop use and seek advice if irritation occurs. If you’re concerned about infection, allergy, or persistent/worsening symptoms, speak to a pharmacist, health visitor, or GP.
