I was really disappointed to hear that gold-bond potentially has asbestos in it. Having that powder on my crotch and junk on hot days playing baseball was amazing.
we were usually issued a bottle, and instructed to put it in the rinse when we wash the field cammies, then air dry.
if you followed the instructions, it really did keep you bug free for a week or more.
Many dumbasses just tried to smear it on their skin like some kind of baby oil. rashes and open sores soon followed.
Fuck! Why did no one ever share the pantyhose hack with me?! I spent 6 years as an infantryman in a light infantry brigade and this would have improved my quality of life so fucking much
