Apologies. I meant the snark but not the personal attack. I meant it to read as "if someone" and not that user in particular.


Women were marketed to put this on their labia every day in order to feel "fresh and clean". This is a very dubious benefit given that feminine hygiene products like this tend to cause more irritation and problems than they prevent.

This wasn't about avoiding swamp-ass from working in the hot sun even if my feet concur with you about the effectiveness of talc and the uselessness of cornstarch.


Talc has been used for humans for thousands of years for every purpose imaginable. It's weird to single out a specific single use as being particularly malicious.

Well, it doesn't matter. It's gone for everyone and every use case now.

J&J has left the business, but there are other companies. You probably can’t buy it at the corner store anymore, but it’s available online. I just looked on Amazon and 1 lb is $23.
