, 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.......

Is there a list of ingredients on the can of it?

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.

I don't suffer from insanity,

I enjoy every minute of it!

//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...?
