What do YOU use baby powder for?

Question

I just put it in my hair to see what I would look like when I'm old and I turn grey. *shrugs* Well I bought the bottle of powder 13 years ago when I had a baby and never once used it. I figure it was just sitting here.....I might as well find SOMETHING to do with it.

What do YOU use baby powder for? I could obviously use the suggestions.



(Btw......I'm thinking I don't ever wanna go grey)

Answer 1

It is practicallt impossible to get in and out of a gimp suit with it

Answer 2

Oh good lord, who knew? Well apparently the folks at the the Good Housekeeping Institute have a lot of time on their hands...because they found out you can do the following:

Repel ants. Sprinkle baby powder in cracks, along a window sill, or under doors where ants enter. Ants will not walk through baby powder.

Help rubber gloves slip on easily. Sprinkle baby powder inside the gloves.

Give your dog a dry shampoo. Rub baby powder into your dog's fur, wait a few minutes, then brush out.

Cure a squeaky floor board. Sprinkle baby powder into the crevices along the edges.

Hide a stain on a white suit. Rub baby powder into the stain.

Clean grease from walls. Sprinkle baby powder on a soft cloth and rub the spot until the grease disappears.

Keep shoes and sneakers dry and comfortable. Dust the insides with baby powder.

Prevent sticky sheets on a hot, summer night. Sprinkle baby powder between the sheets to absorb perspiration.

Give your hair a dry shampoo. Work baby powder into your hair, then brush out.

Prevent white shirts from absorbing oil and grime. Lightly sprinkle baby powder on the shirt before and after ironing.

Clean sand off wet skin. Sprinkle baby powder on skin to remove moisture, and the sand virtually falls off by itself.

Untangle a chain necklace. Dusting the chain with baby powder will make it easier to untangle.

Soften rough hands. Apply baby powder as you would hand lotion.

Prevent friction burns when shaving your legs with an electric razor. Dust legs lightly with baby powder before shaving. (This one works for me every time)

Well you could always put it in a plastic bag and ziploc it really well. Then go to a dangerous part of the city and try and pass it off as coke. Thats if you're feeling adventurous. If not then you could just find someone who has a baby and give it to them...but that would be too simple...

My two youngest kids have model rockets...the ones that are kind of like big bottle rockets, you know? So they go up...some as high as 1500 feet...and when they come down, they have parachutes that pop out so they land safely.

We use baby powder on the parachutes so they don't stick together...
