It is scarce travelsafar and MrJ’s favourite. I bought him a pack of 6 from Amazon as a joke birthday present last year, £28.

Definitely try eBay, if none in your £ shops, I've just had a quick look and they do it but look around in there as lots of varying prices, @travelsafar.

I dont use talcum powder, I never liked it. I always felt it blocked the pores.

Have you got a poundland? as it always seems to be in stock

I think it's not as popular now after the problem Johnson & Johnson had with people suing them over cancer caused by talcum powder!
But I could be wrong. Have you tried eBay, or direct from the manufacturer?

I haven’t used talcum powder for so long and then there was the publicity of possible breast cancer connections don’t remember how long ago that was but it seems a very long time
Perhaps there is a shortage and it’s become a prime commodity

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.
