Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 , the area that I apply bag balm to is buried by skin, underwear, and clothing. I am sure the cats can smell it anyway, but I sure can't! Now if it were my hands....... Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 My sister told me about Bag Balm when my kids were babies. (30 years ago) They had a terrible time with diaper rash and all the diaper rash medicines didn't do a thing. The Bag Balm will clear up a nasty diaper rash with one or two applications. My d-i-l sends diaper rash meds over for my granddaugher. I pull out the bag balm. LOL Can't see the point of putting diaper rash meds on a diaper rash if it doesn't work. Apparently she is to cityfied to appreciate that cream for a cow teat works just fine on her baby's bum. K I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it! Re: Dry skin //the only thing that helped my feet,is Burts Bee,s foot cream,they are soft as a babies butt now. My heels are so rough, though, I could sandpaper wood with 'em. I could use some " babybutt " soft cream. // Hi all, My sister and her husband swear by something called Bag Balm. My sister told me about it, then, being her, she whipped off her socks and made me feel her heels- " soft as a baby's bum, eh? " she laughed lol. It is something that was originally only known of and used by dairy farmers, who used it on the cow's " bag " -the udder-when it got hard, but the general public has caught on to it and now alot of people use it for their skin. If I remember correctly, Shania Twain was the one who inadvertently introduced it to the world lol. I think someone commented on her nice skin and she, being a good old farm girl from Northern Ontario, told them she used Bag Balm. It is available at feed-and-seed places, co-ops, some hardware stores and Walmart. Don't know if you can get it in the US...?
