Talc on your bits

2 replies

craziedaisy · 31/12/2012 12:39

I recently was told that there is a link between applying talc to your lady bits and ovarian talc. This has got me very stressed as I used to do this regularly as a young teenager. I haven't done it for years but really worried that I have caused myself ann incresed risk of getting ovarian cancer. Can anyone calm me down or have I got something to worry about. Sorry for fretting.

I have also heard there is a connection between talc and cancer.

But i have also heard there's also a connection with ham, sun, dairy, mobiles....the list is endless.

If your not using it anymore and you are now aware, what more can you really do?

I don't think it's worth worrying about things you can't really change, IYSWIM?

Perhaps the statistics will help you feel a little calmer.
