Non cancer causing talcum powder

Does it exist ?
I know that Johnson &Johnson have been sued in the US because their talcum powder was apparently deemed carcinogenic.
Is there anything I can use instead in this warm weather.
For me not for a baby. Smile

It was a pp who mentioned lady bits, and another who said about some women putting talc in their knickers, so I just thought I'd mention it.

I'd recommend bicarb for your feet (it can also be used underarms) because of it's deodorising properties.

If it's for your feet then I wouldn't worry. The issue with talc is when you use it on intimate areas: it can migrate up your foof and embed into your ovaries, possibly causing cancer. Interestingly I was told this by a gynae consultant 15 years ago (I knew them socially, not professionally).

Lush do a lovely foot powder called T for Toes.

You should also be careful not to inhale any powders

Bit paranoid about this now! This is probably TMI, but I just get sweaty between the thighs / underbum area. Guess this is still not quite the answer...

Lush silky underwear is lovely!
