Talc

[Bazile]

Currently watching NCIS .

Dinozzo just asked if amyone has any talc .

Must be decades since the last time I wore talc

What about you ?

[pixie374]

I didn't, but do sometimes now. In some places. Many of our clients do. It's catching.

[pixie374]

You're naked too... what's going on?

I used to use it after a shower, I was a bit heavy-handed with it.

My PC stopped working and I took it in to be looked at. I was told that it was packed full of Talc.

I haven't used it for years - after reading that it could cause Ovarian cancer.

I think it is powdered marble. Never saw much point in it.

Naked apart from my pipe and slippers

Always use baby talc between my toes after a shower.

[pastafreak]

I used to use it in the summer...it helped to feel less damp.
I think I read that the link to cancer has been disproved.

Did you know that the place on the body that harbours the most germs , is between the toes ?

[Buenchico]

Thank you, Bazile.

I'm just about to go shopping and knew that there was something missing from my shopping list but I couldn't remember what is was. I now know that it's baby powder (which I use on my 'more delicate parts' after washing) that I'm running low on ;-)

[Bazile]

Always happy to help Chris :-)

I use Johnson's baby talc in my shoes every time I put them on.

Talc is NOT powdered marble. Marble is calcium carbonate, talc is magnesium silicate.

[Georgiesmum]

I use talc every day when I get dressed. Talc is useful too when you have been on the beach and got sandy feet, it helps to remove the sand really quickly.

We use talc, always have, always will :)

gritt y y y y y y y !
no I think it is powdered talc

talc is 1 on the Mohs scale innit ?

I have several stored talc dispensers. Desperate children and now grandchildren resort to them for gifts. There must be a use for them these days, but I haven't found it yet. Fortunately oldest granddaughter has cottoned-on to my need for a handbag-sized diary and now comes up with one every Christmas. That is useful. :)

I've used baby powder for as long as I can remember....not on my body, but I use a sprinkle of it on my yarn when I'm knitting.It just seems to help it flow better through my fingers and over the needles.

[Mamyalynne]

I agree with the knitting wool tip, also good if you have to put on a pair of latex gloves (not in a sterile situation) and certain areas on hot sticky days.

I did however stop using it some years ago at babies nappy changes on advice, still used on their little bodies though.

Baby-powder is also used in some some situations in plastic vacuum-forming. It assists in releasing the finished product from the mold.
