Gold Bond Powder

[jamz]

I do the green because I ran out of yellow one day.  It does take some fortitude.

[Headless Thompson Gunner]

Fortitude?  Yes. 

Brains?  Not so much.

You Gold Bond people are all weirdos.

[Manedwolf]

Fortitude?  Yes. 

Brains?  Not so much.

You Gold Bond people are all weirdos.

But clean and fresh wierdos.

Gold Bond?  Never used it.  But I'm not so fat and sweaty that my thighs rub together, nor do I have jock itch.

And we are all so very proud of you, have a cookie as long as you think it won't go straight to your thighs.

I'm pretty suceptible to rashes in that area. Hell, I think part of my disability rating is for that, albeit at %10 iirc. However, powders and lack of underoos makes it much, much worse.

When I first got to Iraq it flared up a lot, so I tried the commando thing. By that night I was bleeding a good bit and having trouble walking.

I was first introduced to Gold Bond at lacrosse camp at about 12 or 13 years old.  I don't use it all that often, but it's great when you're going to be doing something that gets you nuts-glued-to-leg sweaty.

Another tool for prevention of sweaty nut rash is boxer briefs.  Best private conversation I ever had with my squad leader back in the day, solved a lot of problems.

Well to get all sweaty you would have to get off the couch or our from behind the computer and do something physical.

I used to live in Phoenix.  I now live in Dallas.

I know and love Gold Bond.  I actually introduced my wife to it due to a similar problem she now has with her bras.

[mtnbkr]

You do know that means she has 1000s of tiny gnomes with icy hands massaging her...nevermind.

I cracked open a bottle of gold bond green this morning.

I cannot put this into words. Well, other than COLD!.

[The Annoyed Man]

Gold Bond is a backpackers friend.

I use the green at all points south of the border.

[Matthew Carberry]

Gold Band fan, here.

I usually use the generic, less-powerful knockoffs due to cost.

But, if I go on travel and space/mass is at a premium, I spring for the real Yellow deal for the 'boys.

...

Also, keep some in the gym locker.  Helps when you are doing shrugs (increases grip, like chalk)...

The 'boys?  Increases grip for shrugs? 

I think you're doing them wrong.

Or you are a much tougher man than me. 

[Iain]

his first thought was shrugs. i was thinking deadlifts.

theres a clean and jerk or snatch joke in here somewhere.

Yes, there is.

And (for once) I ain't going there.

[Perd Hapley]

So, were those guys reprimanded for dishonoring the uniform and the U.S. Air Force, or what? 

Oh, never mind.  I see that they were.  Very well.

[280plus]

Another boxer briefs proponent, haven't had too much problems since I changed to them many, uh, moons ago...

If I do start to develop the itch, out comes the tinactin. THAT stuff works!

[Headless Thompson Gunner]

Yeah, the boxer briefs work reel gud.  I use 'em whenever backpacking or working outside in the summertime. 

A good pair of boxer briefs will do everything the gold bond powder supposedly does, without the angry gnome side effects.

[Fjolnirsson]

I've gone green. Wow!
It's....Bracing....

[Perd Hapley]

What are the boxer briefs better than?  Boxers or briefs, or either one? 

[41magsnub]

What are the boxer briefs better than?  Boxers or briefs, or either one? 

Both, they are sort of like spandex shorts without the stigma.  They wrap your whole upper leg around the groin to prevent rubbing while still giving your package all the support it can handle.  Neither briefs or boxers do both.

[Ezekiel]

A good pair of boxer briefs will do everything the gold bond powder supposedly does, without the angry gnome side effects.

1.  It is not, "supposedly."
2.  We do it FOR the "side effects."

Ah, yes.  Thousands of tiny cool hands, massaging my junk, all day... 

Just did the trick at an afternoon Royals game.  My entire body reeked of cigars, suds, and sweat (sunny and humid), except for the happy little area in my shorts: clean and dry...

[RoadKingLarry]

Does the same function with out the tingle
(yes it is real)

[Bogie]

Monkey butt... Ouch.
 
My favorite solution... Cut-off/out control pantyhose, cup and jockstrap... But nothing really works for the afternoon practices...
