I always use to buy from a couple of local shops for 1.00 per drum. Now i cant find it anywhere in local shops or supermarkets. I checked on the big selling site beginning with A and the price is 9.00 per drum!!! Is there a shortage of talcum powder does anyone know. This product will now be on my birthday and christmas wish lists at that price.

"Talcum" powder is mostly cornflower these days.
I use baby powder every day. It stops my boobs sticking to my ribcage and my armpits being sticky. I'm allegic to most perfumes, etc., so am unable to use deodorant...

If you don't feel dry use the hairdryer. My dil taught me this!

Why is is not possible to buy a large fluffy powder puff on its own? One has to wait until Christmas to buy an overpriced box of talc in order to get hold of one.

Talcum powder is the go to product to rub wet sand off on the beach... you're welcome.

The Gym I use has a notice saying,
please don't use Talcum powder,
not sure how they can Police it though.

Ordinary kitchen cornflour is a good substitute for talc.

And safer!

Read here that Johnson & Johnson is facing more than 50,000 lawsuits because of their baby powders! How can I trust other companies?
