    I personally wouldnt put deodorant on my man hardware. Johnson baby powder all the way. If you can put it on babys and not get sued, I'll the family legacy on it.

    Correction to your correction; Johnson's Baby Powder and Gold Bond are corn starch. Those are the 2 biggest names in powder.

    No, no, the majority of powders from those two lines use talc and the specialty ones use cornstarch.

    Goldbond Yellow, Green and Blue are talc + addictives. The overlooked Beige is cornstarch.

    Maybe I will use talc again - find it very messy and annoying, though.

    I've googled Johnson's baby powder and unless their ingredient list has changed lately, all I find on the ingredient list is Talc, Fragrance.

    Kaveh is correct here. Except about talcum powder being messy and annoying. :D

    Which talc is the thinnest - I want to buy some but I really hate how it makes the areas to which it's applied look lighter...

    I get the feeling that covering parts of your body in a white powder will tend to make them look lighter. Its the nature of the beast.

    What's wrong with deodorant on the area?

    I used talc then switched to this method, which I've found nice.

    BTW I found some unopened talc (plus the toiletries depicted) that has to be some 30 years old.

    I love Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur too ;)

    Deod., not anti-pers.

    J&J Lavender sounds pretty appealing too, though...

    Never smelled PC. I still just dont like the idea. Wouldnt want to breed super bacteria down there. If anything, use one of the spray types of crystal. the Lavender is smoother and clumpy than the regular for some reason.

    Get the flesh colored Pinaud Talc. They make two or three different shades of "flesh" toned. My dad, whose pretty dark skinned, uses the "sepia" whereas I use "pale as a ghost" white. :D

    Gold Bond is addictive? Well, the government is sure to get involved, now.

    hhaah oops - although I do recall Gold Bond's being addictive in HS. The menthol blast of the Green bottle is pretty euphoric.
