I don't know anyone who uses it, although older people in the olden days - before last year - did see to have its fragrance about them. I knew of the potential cancer link and didn't fancy breathing it into my lungs.

I don't think there's talcum in it anymore. It's called other stuff.

I like medicated powder after my bath.

But there are tons of powders available. They are just not called talc

Talc was said to be carcogenic but most of the stuff you get now is 'body powder' and is talc free.

If unsure look at the ingredients x

"I use it on squeaky floorboards

I can't tell if this is a joke or serious?! I've heard of stranger things. Enlighten me!

It acts like a lubricant in dry places..."

Ok...so how do you apply it?!

Essex.

You may get away with sprinkling it down the gaps over the joist.

If that doesn't work you may have to lift the offending floorboards and then sprinkle on the joists.

A tradesman may know of an easier way...

I use it when I get a dry shave with an electric razor. Makes it much smoother.
