I was wondering how does one apply body powder


Posted: Jun 22, 2015

without making a mess?!?!?  During the summer months, I like to apply powder after my shower especially if I'm going to be outside like say wathing my kids play ball etc.  Problem is I have a constant thin veil of powder dust all over my bathroom counter and floor.  Is there a less messy way to apply the powder without creating a huge dust cloud in my bathroom or bedroom?

Shake a little out in your hand at a time. That's - what I do.

the shower curtain closed, then rinse the tub out afterward.

That's what I thought I was doing, but maybe I'm just using - Silly Question

too much powder or I'm not applying it gently enough.

I transfer the powder to a 5" diameter - candy tin that is

1 inch deep that I paid 79 cents for, and I use a 4-1/2 inch body powder puff. I refill the tin as needed. It really cut back on the mess. I tried the shower thing too, but I find this works much better for me.

I too use a large powder puff, but - Gold Bond has a spray powder.

I used it last summer and really liked it, although it is more expensive.

You could apply it outside. - sm

It does go all over, unfortunately. The shower or bath tub is a good option. Aside from going outside.

I second the "use a small amount" recommendation. I stand on the bath mat and use a small amount, avoiding fluffing all over, and apply to damp skin, so it sticks. Not much mess that way.

You don't want to breathe it in. Talc, especially, is very bad for your lungs.

Cascade Power Dishwashing PowderDec 16, 2009
I just want to warn everyone that if you use the new improved Cascade dishwasher detergent powder to stop immediately and find something else to use. I have been using Cascade powder for 15 years but we spent 2 days unblocking a 4 inch drainage pipe. It turns out that the Cascade has changed their formula and the detergent never disintegrated. It just laid in that pipe and built up until I had water running all over the floor. We do not know how far into the pipe it is right now. ...

Loose Body In Shoulder JointJan 10, 2012
I woke up 2 days ago with the worst shoulder pain ever and went to the doc where he did an x-ray. It showed  I have a loose body in the joint space. He gave me Tramadol and told me to use ice and heat and maybe it would calm down on its own. Otherwise, he said he would refer me to an orthopedist for shoulder arthroscopy and loose body removal. He is very conservative (he knows this), but I would like to know if anyone has had this and if the loose body does ever work its way back to whereve ...

NY Man Kills UPS Driver And Runs Over His Body,Dec 21, 2016

Please don't turn this into a gun control rant. We have 25,000 guns laws that include mental illness. His actions show premeditation. Can you imagine how much more media would have been given in a case like this if Obama or another Democrat had been named as the target? ...

He led a good life and was a very generous man with many friends. I am wondering about suicide in this case, what do you all think about what is going to happen to his Soul?  I really hav ...
