  1. I find that i sweat profusely in the groin area. I bike to
    and from work, and there is no showers there.

    Can you apply either a spray or a stick deoderant to
    that area?

    If i do, i would keep it seperate from what i put on
    other areas.

    On a more useful note, a quick google turned up some funky
    talc which is described as:

    "Total body formula designed to prevent human odor by
    preventing the growth of odor causing bacteria. Use after
    showering and remain scent free even when you sweat. Apply
    to entire body, especially high odor areas such as
    underarms, scalp, feet & groin."

    Nice.

    Maybe something like that is the answer.

    Use Corn Starch, it is very good at absorbing moisture and
    does not clump like baby powder. I have one of those
    Rubbermaid catchup dispensers full of it and I use it every
    morning when I'm getting ready.

    one thing i should have mentioned -- i get my newsgroups
    through outlook express. I clean it everynow and then. i
    dont have it that far back.

    I didnt worry too much when it was cold, as i was not
    getting warm enough to sweat. It is getting warm enough
    to start to be a problem. I shall try some of the easy
    ideas ... i dont care if i am white, since no one sees
    there at work.

    If you're sweating enough that you're considering using
    deodorant on your groin, stay away from powders of any
    sort (talc or cornstarch) - they'll turn to dough in
    your creases.

    Generally speaking sweat doesn't have much of an odor until
    the bacteria on your skin go to work on it. Deodorant soaps
    work by reducing the skin bacteria that you need to work up
    a truly eye-watering funk. If you shower with antibacterial
    soap in the morning before you leave, once you get to work a
    quick wipe down with unscented baby wipes, and dry clothes
    should be enough to keep you from stinking.

    If you're truly worried about groin sweat, or you have
    health concerns that mandate keeping your crotch dry (saddle
    sores) you can use a high powered antiperspirant in the
    area. Certain-Dri is available without prescription although
    you may have to ask the pharmacist to order it for you.
    After you shower, towel off, roll the stuff on and use a
    blow dryer to get it totally dry before you get dressed so
    you don't get it on your clothes. You will not sweat. You
    will be so dry you'll squeak like new shoes when you walk.
    For days. Honestly, though, unless there's a medical
    indication, I think it's overkill.

    wwww.cyclingforums.com has nothing to do with this newsgroup
    other than they provide some sort of usenet portal. Whatever
    discussion is being referred to was there, not here. But you
    never know, it could be useful info. AFAIK, that would be a

    He was replying to me I think, I hit the wrong button on OE.
    I was going to post:

    "Let it all out now, this has been covered. Leave some baby
    wipes at the office, the unscented kind will do. In the
    USMC, when we go to the field we hump with some in the pack.
    I can't guarantee you'll smell like roses, we never did...
    though it may suite your purpose better. As far as the
    deodorant goes, most of them leave that white powdery
    residue and the antiprespirant dries the skin. Don't say I
    didn't warn you."

    Michael: if you want to look for a post that has probably
    been discussed, go to Google, click on the "groups" button,
    go through the list until you come to whatever group you
    want to search, then type in keywords like any other web
    search. You don't need to select a group - you can search
    all - but picking a group narrows the hits to what you can
    use. When someone tells you to google a post, that's what
    they mean.

    So, if you are inclined to, say, ask about tubeless tires,
    Google it first or 95 people will flame you up and down.

    You might try some "manscaping" in that area; you'll stay a
    lot cooler. Not saying to shave down there, just trim it a
    bit. Hair clippers work well.

    I'd check the "queer eye for the straight guy" web site,
    tips section. Come to think of it, I bet a good search on
    the how-to's of a proper male pubic trim/shave could bring
    all sorts of interesting information to the fore.... ( hint,
    trim with clippers, then shave, just like when you remove
    your beard)
