I'm also interested in the point of talcum powder.
This thread has been so educational

Once upon a time everybody (well most people) used talc Annie, even the ladies.
With the advent of antiperspirants talc went out of fashion. But I think that antiperspirants are bad for you and have always preferred talc for my sensitive bits.
I suppose I'm an old guy stuck in the past in many ways. I try not to come into contact with many of today's chemicals, but did find that a squirt of shower gel on my sponge was better than rubbing up a lather with a bar of soap. However, I refuse to use liquid soap for hand and face washing while bent over the sink, only a nice smelling bar of soap will do. And when away on holiday, I love those little round bars of soap they leave on the sink for you.
So because talc is unisex and may be used by Mrs Fox, it stays in the bathroom cabinet. My German produced shampoo however is not unisex, it's just for blokes, and is returned to the wardrobe when hairwashing is completed....
I must admit to spending lots of time in the shower. To me it's one of life's little luxuries, and there is nothing finer than returning from an arduous run, casting off all one's clothes and allowing the soothing hot water engulf me and revive my aching body....And the freedom of standing naked in the warm torrent.....
