Ball chafing... alternatives to talc

[Monkeylegend]

Stop with the sack part of back, sack and crack and build up a nice furry layer to keep them dry and act as a buffer.

Alternatively you could tape one to each knee at bedtime to hold them in place.

Sounds like a sticky sweaty problem? Clammy nuts are never comfortable. OP seriously are you overweight? if so that would make your nuts sweaty.

Carcinogenic

Maybe you need to swap underwear style to something that encapsulates them so they cant touch your leg. Also don't remove the hair - I think its job is to deal with moisture.

In warm weather wear shorts when you can to keep the temp down too. Try the swimming truck type with the mesh inner underwear (don't wear anything else under them) to keep the temp and moisture down.

I seem to remember that the Johnson and Johnson court case was brought by women who had contracted a gynaecological cancer caused, it was claimed, by talc finding its way in to the uterus from it being used on the pubic area regularly. There was no mention of men suffering in this way if I recall correctly. Google may confirm or otherwise.

Exactly right. Something like this to hold them "up and away" and permit maximum air flow to the critical inner thigh area.

Why not just wrap them in cotton wool, they are a bit precious after all.

i mean a bit but not a lot... probably not much different to many other middle aged men on a car forum... anyway a) I have had this for a long time so it isn't that and b) doesn't really make any different either way as i still need to deal with uncomfy balls.

I would have thought you would have more chance of getting a lung cancer ( similar to asbestosis) from inhaling the tiny particles of talc, than testicular cancer from the talc somehow getting into your scrotum.
( gut feeling not a medically trained opinion).

This must be a situation most men with normal gonads don't encounter.

I bet he waxes or shaves 'em, like them porny stars, the smooth look, then the stubble on thigh
causes the beastly chafing.

Tsk, alpha males, what are they flippin' like ?

Here is an article on the subject of ovarian cancer caused by perineal use of talcum. It also says that inhalation is potentially harmful.

Maybe empty them more often like Matt h?

wasn't intended to be a flex. I think they are normal sized but then i haven't compared bks recently with my peers. They are trimmed but not like waxed or anything. I mean plenty of products exist for this type of thing so tbh i was assuming that there would be a deluge of agreements and recommendations... but apparently it isn't as commonplace as i had assumed.

Top bloke that, using his nads as nature intended.

Below the belt powder is much better than talc.

you put it on and it sort of sticks to your skin - you get very little mess. and it works

[Maximus_Meridius101]

Cyclists chamois creme.



This is some of the best I’ve used. 11 quid at present from Wiggle.

You will not have any chaffing of the balls with this liberally applied.

^ They love a bit of that as well as shaving their legs and dressing up in lycra ;-) All part of the fun.
