Members Lucky Posted June 16, 2011 Members Share Posted June 16, 2011 Ah, the NY Times, covering the topics men need to know. Today's style section tells us that baby powder has grown up. Without ever mentioning the words "genitals" or "crotch" the Times tells us that newer powders are the way to go. After all, who wouldn't want citrus odors emanating from their penis? The article says that powders for men were once "marketed obliquely." Now, in their oblique article, they tell us of all the new smells we can place "down there." Now, in fairness, they do use the words groin and scrotum, telling us that these areas are particularly susceptible to "irritations, friction, fungal infections, eczema, and may be quite odoriferous (Stinky!) due to its moisture, darkness, and warmth." Think of that the next time your mouth wants to suck someone! Plain old baking soda can do the job for men who don't want to sell like a fruit "down there" but why use that when you can spend fifteen bucks on something that smells nice? You might even save your money and just shower. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/16/fashion/personal-grooming-products-to-keep-men-fresh-skin-deep.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=powder%20surge&st=cse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Talk about a manufactured need. OTOH, wish I had thought of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hoover42 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Plain old baking soda can do the job Be careful using baking soda as a deodorant; it does an excellent job of neutralizing odors but it can be very irritating to sensitive skin.

Members BigK Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 I wonder what's wrong with plain old baby powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
