Imperial Leather talc on sale still ,Boots,Superdrug ,Supermarkets, eBay,Amazon etc.
Many thanks… I’m off out shopping very shortly
Yes particularly after swimming. Also good on feet.
I buy it from the baby section, labelled Baby Powder.
I have used M & S Florentyna talc for years - and still use it.
That’s not just any talc Mags…
That’s M&S talk…
I’ve been using Tesco’s, but I think I’ll try that M&S talc Mags…Because I’m worth it!
Next time you are talc buying in Tesco, try their F&F baby talc range. The night option is rather pleasant and you get a large 400g pot for £1.50
Thanks LongDriver, I’ll put it on my shopping list for tomorrow…
My mother made me a Johnstons Baby, still am today.
Annie, Yes, l remember the link with cancer was in the news.
I am not keen on the smell of Johnson’s baby powder. The only time l see and smell it now is when l go to Northern Soul nights where the male dancers sprinkle it on the floor to dance on!!
I remember the lovely smell of a talcum powder l used to put on my baby dolls when l was about 10. I think it was Cuticura?
Then my sisters and l started to use use Avon talcum powder after a bath. They were highly scented and we had to give up using them as we all got itchy and irritated somewhere… you know…
Bet you don’t ,it’s highly scented .
I like to smell nice Zuleika…
I used to love those scented talcs too, especially the classic ones from back in the day. You’re right though, they’ve basically vanished from shelves.
A big reason for that is the legal trouble around talcum powder and health concerns. There have been a bunch of lawsuits linking talc to serious issues, especially when it’s been used long-term. If you’re curious or still using it, might be worth reading up on it, this page breaks down the situation clearly.
Kinda wild how something so common turned into such a big deal.
I still use Talc, and have used it all of my life with no known ill effects.
At seventy four with heart trouble, I doubt mesothelioma will get me first…
Talc is no longer retailed in the UK due to court cases. All that is available now is Body Powder which is based on corn starch,
No, I don’t use talc since it can cause cancer.
erm…what
I used to like talc back in the talc days when I wore boxers under my 501’s.
I still wear boxers under my 501’s!
Minus the imperial leather talc I hasten to add.
Yes, all my life. I know there was a lot of blaming with Johnsons Baby Powder over cancer but I never knew of anyone here being affected. I wouldn’t be without it, especially when I come out of the pool.
Neither do I Rox
I think the Americans just love litigation, and now it’s over here big style.
I much prefer talc (or whatever it is these days) I think it’s much more healthy than bunging up your sweat glands with anti-perspirants.
