Gives a nice clean buzz when snorted and also cleans your nose, win win.

If I get a smell of talc off an adult I always think they must have something wrong with their nether regions that needs drying out. Sorry OP.

I think it's purely reserved for gout ridden old men OP. You're getting notions. It'll be shower gel instead of Coal Tar Soap next. Man up.

My apologies Mister, the post office is that way -->

I hear the service is terrible and all the people in the queue are dying to hear you give out to the clerk for 30 mins over the price of stamps.

I love talc. Sometimes I cover myself with it, can never use it down there though. Ends up looking like a kitchen counter after someone was kneading dough.

Nothing wrong with applying some talcum powder to the old giggle stick and nut purse every morning. I'm quite fond of it.

Gives a feeling of freshness all day.

Absolutely. I'd consider it an essential bathroom task in the morning as the weather improves. A nice cool ballbag dusted in a lightly perfumed talc is a great feeling. Can meet a member of the C-Suite confident that you won't start to suffer emotional distress from a sweaty cluster.

Again, you'd want to be wary of the amount applied. Too much and you run the risk of having a cloud of it blowing out the belt line of your trousers when you sit down to work.

Always give the auld crack & sack a generous dusting before a long journey on the bike...motorcycle leathers tend to hold in moisture where least needed :eek:

The ratio of talc to scrotum should be administered according to weather conditions. Clumping can cause serious problems for todays erstwhile professional.

Sage advice. There's a third factor that needs to be considered when getting the correct ratio of talc to nad sac, and that is the oft overlooked issue of 'ground to cover.'

I suggest experimentation to gauge the correct amount to apply in order to prevent any 'blowback.' Get to know what you are comfortable with and go from there.

Love a bit of talc alright, really should stat using it more regularly.

Great for the feet too, can never get in between toes truly dry with a towel I find

Warper

its actually good for when you have just squeezed a spot

I used to use it on the carpets, but I have all tile and laminate floors now.

Does talcum powder cause cancer?
When talking about whether or not talcum powder is linked to cancer, it is important to distinguish between talc that contains asbestos and talc that is asbestos-free. Talc that has asbestos is generally accepted as being able to cause cancer if it is inhaled. This type of talc is not used in modern consumer products. The evidence about asbestos-free talc, which is still widely used, is less clear.

Researchers use 2 main types of studies to try to determine if a substance or exposure causes cancer.

One type of study looks at cancer rates in different groups of people. Such a study might compare the cancer rate in a group exposed to a substance versus the rate in a group not exposed to it, or compare it to what the expected cancer rate would be in the general population. But studies of people can sometimes be hard to interpret, because there may be other factors affecting the results that are hard to account for.

In studies in lab animals, other factors are easier to control for, but it's not always clear if the results in animals would be the same in humans.

In most cases neither type of study provides definitive evidence on its own, so researchers usually look at both human and lab-based studies.

Is it like a branch of Lush? :pac:

I had little bars of rose soap in fancy paper that someone gave me sometime, but was advised by my granny to put them in drawers so they scented my clothes. Who wants rose scented t-shirts?

My granny hasn't gotten to grips with fabric softener yet.

Hell yes. Cant beat the old bar of imperial leather. Nothing nice then the smell of it when you take it out of its wrapper.
That fancy dan liquid soap in a dispenser is just a fad.

I have Imperial Leather soap and a bottle of Old Spice. If I could just find a man who smokes vanilla scented tobacco in his pipe while sipping whiskey after a salty swim, I think I would swoon altogether.

If he should also keep a pack of Fishermans friend in his pocket then drop me a pm.
