The Many Uses of Baby Powder

Bandit
Baby Powder was created to keep babies smelling fresh and clean. Baby Powder also rids the skin of flakiness and dryness. There are many uses for baby powder that many have not heard about. Try some of these hints for using baby powder and see for yourself. I use all of these for my own personal needs.

Sexy, Soft Legs and Bikini Area

After you take a shower and are completely dried off, sprinkle some baby powder on to your legs, and around your bikini area. Your skin will be baby soft and feel refreshed.

Deodorize Your pet

Winter time brings static cling and you can keep your dog or cat's fur free of static electricity by using baby powder. Depending on the size of the family pet, all you do is sprinkle an adequate amount of the baby powder on to the palm of your hands and rub your hands together and then go pet your dog or cat running your hands up and down their backs and their heads. Not only will your pet's fur be static free, but they will smell clean and fresh.

Just remember that if your dog/cat has black fur that the baby powder will show up more than it will on white haired pets.

Natural Ant Killer

If you are seeing ants inside your home anywhere, all you do is sprinkle some baby powder around where you have seen the ants. For some reason the ants will not cross through the baby powder and will leave.

Shoe Deodorizer

Before you put your house shoes or slippers on your feet, sprinkle some baby powder on the inside of each house shoe. You can also sprinkle some baby powder on each of your feet before you slip into your house shoes or slippers. Your house shoes will always smell baby fresh now.

Static Free Clothes

The weather can wreak havoc not only on our hair but on our clothes too. If you are out on a date and your skirt or blouse is full of static electricity all you need to do is sprinkle some baby powder on to the palm of your hands and rub it on you legs and hips and viola, no static. Just remember to remove the excess baby powder from your hands especially if you are wearing a black skirt or black blouse because the baby powder will leave a white residue on anything black.

Mitten & Glove Softener

Before you put your gloves or mittens on, apply baby powder to your hands and then slide your hands inside of your gloves. This will keep the inside of your gloves and mittens soft and your hands will be less likely to become dry and flaky from the winter chill.

House Shoes & Slippers Deodorizer

Before you put your house shoes or slippers on your feet, sprinkle some baby powder on the inside of each house shoe. You can also sprinkle some baby powder on each of your feet before you slip into your house shoes or slippers. Your house shoes will always smell baby fresh now.

Static Free Pantyhose

Rub some baby powder on to your hands and then rub them over a pair of pantyhose to take away static electricity. This will also help make it easier to put pantyhose on.

Soft, Sexy Shoulders & Tummy

After you take a shower and are completely dried off, sprinkle some baby powder on to your shoulders and tummy. Your skin will be baby soft and silky to the touch.

I use baby powder for my own personal needs. Others may not receive the same result as I do. Use your own judgement as where and what to use baby powder for.
