I have a gold bond story....there were about 15 of us that camped together and being a Roobie, even I knew that gold bond was essential (especially for the guys)...well a couple of them didn't listen to me and the wrath ensued...so much that one of my friends went to the VIP showers and after he already had gotten a bit of the crotch rot decided now was the time for the gold bond. He dropped to his knees in the VIP bathrooms SCREAMING....my f'in balls are on fire...over and over....i felt so bad for him but i had to laugh....

gold bond was a must every morning and afternoon. i am proud to say that i have no bloody butt chode to report from the weekend because of the beautiful menthol-laden powder.
I got the blue bottle, and it burnt the f**k out of my boys!!!
the blue bottle is meant for the feet,but if used long enuff,can become quite the ally to those who have the sweatiest of sacks in the hottest and humidest of conditions...
Okay, this story is kind of gross but you asked so... I made sure to buy two bottles of Gold Bond, because last year I had a problem with chaffing and didn't want to repeat it. Well, as these things usually go someone pulled out one of my bags from the car to make room for their tent, and forgot to put it back in. You can imagine my rage when we got to camp and discovered that I was SOL. I couldn't find any at the general stores or at any of the unofficial shops. I was probably the only person at Bonnaroo walking up shakedown street looking for Gold Bond. By Friday night, I was in agony and when I went to bed I placed an ice cold can of beer between my legs to ease my pain and try to fight the chafe. My girlfriend woke me up about an hour later to ask where I had put our kit bag, and when I reached down to adjust the can, I realized that the beer had frozen solid my underwear to my sack and taint. I was halfway between laughter and tears. The pain was unbearable and I couldn't stop laughing. However, the next morning, the pain was gone as was the chafe. It seems that freezing a chafe is an effective, and humiliating, way to solve the problem. Next year I think I'm going to go the Vaseline route.

I went for the extra strength a few days ago, because i developed a major tolerance for the yellow stuff. WOW! this stuff is not for amateurs, I get about 2 minutes of intense burning, but the cooling after effects are well worth it.
I left my Gold Bond and large sombrero in a port-a-pottie on Friday, I got sick before Tortoise, and absent mindedly left both in the john. Thankfully, I didn't need any this year... I was like, unusually comfortable at roo this year: no sunburns (even with no sunscreen, this is really odd, as I always have gotten burnt in the summer when I lived in KY and TN) and no insanely gnarly feet.
i think i have discovered the holy grail of crotch maintenence for men.
good quality boxer briefs + some gold bond. ive had moderate success with the champion ones from Target - but they can tend to ride up after a whole day. amazon reports on the under armour ones are that they dont ride up. problem is, they are $20 a pair!@#
if they dont have some lycra or whatever in them, i would believe they are totally useless - as they have to cling to the thigh...
^^^^why thank you idioteque. That was very informative on this beautiful Sunday that I am stuck inside because I am SICK AS A DOG you deserve some karma for that underwear advice ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
danke druid - sorry to hear you are sick. as for me, im alone for a week - vicki (my girlfriend / common law wife / old lady) has gone on a cruise. so its now my mission to clean the house so i can prove it's not me that makes the mess. but that will ultimately fail, since i make the mess.
i plan on getting a little corny and then heading to my cousins house in CT to watch the Pats game - which is about the most out of character thing i can imagine doing.
I personally go for the GoldBond cream. It stay's exactly where you put it, and doesn't form lumps when combined with sweat. It's intense and certainly not for beginners. I gave up on the boxer briefs in this situation, as they tend to get sweated up and bunchy if they do not hold their elasticity well. That's probably where idioteque recommends the quality ones.
I go for the pure silk boxers at this point. I also do a LOT of river walking in all seasons, and have found that silk is the best first line of defense-be it against the cold OR the heat. Just a very skin friendly material.
That's right. You heard it here fist. Snoochie sports silk gutchies. Say it Loud and Proud.
(I'd much rather have my manhood questioned than crippled !!)

You know if you bought a case of those gold bonds you could make a killing. Just sell by the handful for 3 bucks a pop. I think a 10 ounce bottle is only 5 bucks or you could buy a case. I think you could easily make at least 20-30 bucks a bottle.
So if anyone sees a guy pushing gold bond next year, say whats up. Im your gold bond pusher mayne!!

If you say you are on inforoo, it is free
Also, I do not think I would even have to try to sell it. I think if I had it out in a public place on Saturday, that people would be offering to drop a few buck for some. Hey, chaffing sucks and 3 bucks spent could save them the rest of the weekend from pain.

last year, when i got home, i got addicted to it, and kept using it. Dried me OUT down there, and started itching very bad. Had to get Jock Itch cream to clear it up. gross, i know, but beware.
LOL I would be lying if I didn't say that the EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!

The under armour ones are worth $20 a pop. I went the Gold Bond route last year and was sorely disappointed. The first thing I did when I got home was take the Crying Game shower. I felt like someone had set my nuts on fire and slammed them in a car door for a week.
i just mentioned this in the girly thread, but this tip should be useful for guys too
gold bond for your hair - great at absorbing oils and avoiding greasy hair just apply sparingly...and be careful not to get it in your eyes!! - unless you like tingling retinas!

The under armour ones are def. worth the 20 bucks each. I'd pay 40 each. Theyre that good.

It doesnt have to be under armor. they make a lot of really good synthetic underwear that are meant for hikers and travelers. I've seen quite an increase in these types of products at Target (mainly for women but some for men too).
The best part is they wash and dry super easy and fast!
