i mean for you and not for your baby. or do you prefer to use talk powder that smells like perfume and cologne. my children are on their teens already so there is no longer any baby in the house. but we still use baby powder. it is very refreshing, well we find it refreshing than talk powder. how about you and your family?

Do you mean talc powder? Idon't use it because I am allergic to strong odor. I always prefer baboy powder because the fragrance is not that strong and most are hypoallergenic, you can be sure that you won't develop rashes.

We have a couple of containers of lavender scented baby powder from when my daughter was born. It is not usually a good idea to use baby powder on baby girls so it just sat there. Then one day my husband took his stinky boots off after work and I decided to use the powder to sprinkle in them nasty combat boots! It doesn't completely take the smell away but it sure does help!

Baby powder has been linked to ovarian cancer. I don't use it. What I do use is something called "honey dust". It's corn starch with a little bit of dried honey powder mixed it. It smells lovely and it's not as drying as mineral-based baby powder.

I used to love to smell baby powder and actually used it on my first child. Not long after that they came out with the research that breathing talc from powder can cause lung cancer. Additional studies showed a link to ovarian cancer too. So the next three children got no baby powder and I use no powder either! Of course I'm sure someone has come out with talc free powder by now....

My friends got weird on me because it is not my attitude to have colognes and perfumes. I dont take this to my body or clothes. But the most weird part is I can't leave the house without applying baby powder to my body. It is a warm and fresh feeling at the back. It reduces the chance of more sweats also.

I'm already in my 40's and have 3 kids, and we all use baby powder. I feel fresh and I smell my kids just like babies. I like the smell because it is not too strong and won't affect my allergy rhinitis.

We don't use baby powder. Most of us in the family have dry skin (including the baby). I've used baby powder on my older son when he was little....but then stopped because no one else in the family uses it. I didn't use it at all with my younger son. We have special brands of oils and ointments that we use on the kids. I generally use a moisturiser and leave it at that.

It is only me and my dog Sherlock living in my apartment, but I do have the pleasure of using baby powder to make things smell better. I bought Baby Dog Grooming Spray from Petco when I first got Sherlock. I use it when he comes back from outside and smells 'outdoorsy.' It smells so good that I have sprayed it on a jacket that had been in a somewhat musty closet. I've gotten complements from guests about the smell of my house, and it's that baby powder dog spray, lol!

i still use baby powder. i use baby powder everyday on my face instead of a face powder/foundation. i prefer to use mild powder because i have a sensitive face and i easily get pimples. .

nope, my family does not use any talcum powder at all, so we don't use baby powder either. i guess baby powder is the most mild and will not cause any allegies unlike some perfumed powder. i use perfume sometimes, but not everyday. i have a lotus scented one which is quite nice though.

no. I don't use baby powder anymore. because I think the perfume will not stay longer. although I like the smells. but my mother use it because she has allergic and baby powder never make her allergic came. so, in my family only my mother and my children who used baby powder.
