Read your message here about the baby oil thingie… Surprised you hadn’t discovered it long ago. It’s one of those things I just never left behind as I grew up. You could always explain away a small bottle of baby oil in the medicine cabinet.

So, anyway, I’ve been using J&J Baby Oil for as long as I can remember, especially since I have shaved “down there” for nearly 25 years… Baby oil helps “things” to adjust, instead of the skin sticking, etc. J&J Baby Powder works for the same reasons.

For an interesting combination, try taking a teaspoon or so of J&J Baby Oil in the palm of your hand, and then putting about the same or slightly less amount of J&J Baby Powder over the oil, then mix it well in your hand first before applying it… The smell of both combined is wonderful, and this way you can just apply it “sort of like a cream”. You probably get the same basic thing by applying oil first, and then powdering up, the regular way, but for some reason, I prefer mixing and then applying.

A;so, nobody commented on the ice method I mentioned in the medicated powder post, probably because most of you use disposables, and they are not really conducive to the ice method. It’s worth switching to cloth for a little test, tho. Heck, if you don’t have a cloth diaper, you could even try a terry towel and make that work.

Oh, well… we all have stuff that we have done for years, and it works, so we mostly just stick to “that which we already know”. I’m adventurous by nature, tho, and love to try different stuff just for shits’n'giggles.
