In nursing school, I was taught against using cornstarch-based powder, because cornstarch feeds fungus, so cornstarch-based powders can promote fungal infections. In light of this news, I would avoid both kinds of powders (talcum and cornstarch).

If your looking for an alternative to baby powder, I use Lush’s silky underwear powder! It’s great at fighting chub rub and has a nice jasmine scent.

“dry and cool” is the antithesis of the natural, healthy state of female genitalia. I’m not sure how to start to explain it to people who don’t understand that. All I can do is repeat — I blame the Confederacy. If we’d just been more resolute about Reconstruction....

To be clear, I’m talking about women applying baby powder to deal with sweat. I’ve been explicit about that throughout my comments, but just in case anyone missed that, I’m repeating it.

Lot’s of women grew up being told their vaginas stunk, via advertisements, (douching, talcum powder, sprays, etc.) and that was such a part of their daily routine that not doing so was like not wearing underarm deodorant. My mother was absolutely shocked when my doctor told me it was harmful and that was back in the…

I had to check your post history to make sure you are not a troll. Not sure how to break this to you, but the lady bits are not “cool and fresh” by nature. They are warm and MOIST and they have their own ecosystem and the last fucking thing you should do is start adding talcum powder to dry them out and give them that…

Great website. “We are sponsored by The Peterson Firm, a Washington, D.C., law firm, and we use the legal team at The Peterson Firm to educate these users about their circumstances.”

This is ten times worse than discovering that there are women who zealously defend wiping back to front. NOOOOOOOOOOOO. No I have not heard of adult women putting baby powder on their genitals as a matter of “hygiene.” That strikes me as completely insane and obviously a bad idea.

Well obviously I know about baby powder for actual babies. It’s this idea of vagina powder that’s new to me.

ARE MY WET WIPES KILLING ME???

Mr Oldfogeybadger is very fond of what I like to call his ball powder (GoldBond medicated powder or something similar). I hate the smell and I hate breathing talc, so I’ve been pushing him to use corn starch based ones. I may have to tell him about this and make unsubstantiated hints that what’s good for the goose is…

Kind of insane to have to be that vigilant as a consumer. IS MY SUNSCREEN KILLING MEEEEE?

As say this sincerely but please please please educate yourself about how the police and hospitals ect.. deal with people who have been sexually assaulted. Hold the hand of someone who has been raped hours ago, who is going through one of the most invasive non surgical procedures that can be done. Stand toe to toe to…

I don’t think we’ve dispensed with that notion at all and I get what you mean about the optics of a civil suit vs. a criminal case. But I think we as a society have recognized that there are obstacles to a criminal trial that victims may not be willing to go through for a variety of reasons. Rape cases often devolve…

It could be because so few rapists ever actually get convicted. 2% of all rapists actually ever see jail time, rape kits sit for years, decades even before being processed, women are humiliated and have their sex lives examined in public during trails. The system is rigged against rape victims ever seeing justice,…

Maybe when rapists are convicted of their crimes, victims will go to law enforcement instead of filing a civil suit. and also, her civil suit isn’t about damages. It’s about getting out of her contract. learn what she’s asking for and maybe you’ll figure out why she’s going the civil lawsuit route. (did I mention that…

A girl from a modest financial background reporting a rape by a multimillionaire to the police. LOL.
