Do you use any kind of body powder?

[Phentex]

I threw out the Shower to Shower after all the news about talc causing ovarian cancer. Not like I put it in my underwear or anything! But I did dust myself with the stuff when the weather was hot like it is now.

I am trying some Burt's Bees but it contains corn starch and it feels kinda rough. Any suggestions?

1. I use J&J with corn starch or store brand corn starch powder.

Never noticed the roughness.

3. Maybe it's the brand...

it cakes and feels rough.

2. Not these days but I used to use cornstarch

It seemed to do a much better job...and I never thought it felt rough.

4. I guess I should look for something more basic...

not sure if it's the corn starch or something else in it but it turns to dried mud on me.I miss talc!

5. I'm back on the 'starch

It was recommended for irritation for my radiation treatment.
It's cornstarch baby powder, from Publix, and it feels soft. I've started using it for general use and I really like it.

6. I decided to go old school

I ordered a box and a puff...I'm gonna have dusting powder, just like we had when I was a kid. It used to feel so luxurious, using the puff to apply. I'm sticking with cornstarch, though, but apparently there are recipes for adding scents and other ingredients.
