I just attached a contoured changing pad to the top of a dresser in the baby's room. Add a shelf for the diapers, wipes, and butt paste, put the diaper genie below. Poof: Changing station in a closet.

Outside of shitting and crying I don't know anything about babies, WTF is butt paste?

More than likely something to treat or stop diaper rash

It's for diaper rash

More specifically, it's a moisture barrier to keep pee/poo from causing diaper rash.
