Oh, I love it! Johnson's, naturally. It dates back to my childhood when it was always the last part of the night time bath. No-one else in the family uses it, but for me a bath isn't a bath without a dusting of talc!

There was a scare when my babies were small I haven't used it since.. and thats a looooooooong time ago..

That's the one - didn't want to advertise, though [halo emoticon]

It's not very good for you though, is it? Was there not something about it 'getting into' a person's system - and definitely not to be used in intimate areas.
I do actually quite like using it occasionally - especially Johnson's Baby Powder.

I use a well-known brand of baby talc after showering - I love the smell as well! I know DD wouldn't use talc on her babies because there was talk of it being bad for them (inhaling it?).

I think there's a tin of it among the clutter in my bedroom, but I haven't used it in years! I have been known to use baby powder after a swim, but as you say, it does make a mess.

Top of my mother's shopping list today was talcum powder. I haven't used it for years and can't remember why I stopped. It probably had something to do with the mess it made in the bathroom but when did it go out of fashion?
