Is it safe to use talcum powder? I read it may cause cancer.

@sazzzo: Don't use it on your breasts or near your ovaries. I have learned that now 😟 Also, I think it is better to use baby talc than the branded ones for adults.

@TammieBear: I use baby powder. I don't put it on my breasts because I don't need it there but I put it on the other place because it makes sleeping more comfortable

@sazzzo: That's what I used it for, but I'm not sure now.

@TammieBear: I need to use something so I don't get all sweaty if it's hot so maybe I should find something different

@sazzzo: corn starch

@Fernie: Is that for real? I use corn starch to thicken sauces . . not sure I want to put it on my body.

@TammieBear: it's pure and natural. We used it all the time when I was a kid...for rashes, bad sunburns...you don't want to use chemicals now so use something natural. It has a silky feel on your skin.

@Tammiebear: but I don't put it like everywhere but just to stop the tight bits on the edges of my underwear rubbing so really just the tops of my legs so it probably won't get anywhere it shouldn't I hope
