Not even before a long ride on the old two-wheeler?
I don’t have or use any but I’ve heard it’s very pleasant as a light nut dusting and I can very much believe that.
Dont think i’ve seen any since the 90s
I used to sit in the bath and bash the bottle of talcum powder along the side so that little puffs of talcum powder came out like a steam train.

Don’t they think it gives u cancer? I use a little bit now and again on areas prone to damp, I think you know what I am saying
I thought they decided it causes cancer?
Maybe that’s not true, dunno
I used to get bought it for xmas on the regular as a kid (Old Spice Natch) not had any since the 90s so Eric’s theory checks out
Currently uncertain…

Used to mix talc with shampoo and other toiletries and try to make soap when I was a kid. Called it a ‘potion’

Use it every working day around certain areas to avoid chafing cause I’m stood up/moving about all day and it gets sweaty (form an orderly queue)
Also we use cat litter, that counts.
Are you saying you use cat litter for your ‘certain areas’?
Only when I’m out of powder.
Serious answer: No.
I find dropping a scoop of catsan in the happy pouch each morning keeps me feeling fresh all day.
