What are you using instead of talc-based baby powder?

And is cornstarch bad because it can feed yeast or something?  I can't decide which info on these powders is accurate, argh!  I need some kind of powder because dh and I both get chafing and/or rashes occasionally on our inner thighs or other areas and no it has nothing to do with TeA since I know your mind went there.  LOL

There was a short period of time that I used cornstarch on dd17 when she was little.  I honestly, can't remember why. LOL  It worked for what we needed and it didnt cause us any type of fungus issues.  

 

I think that the womans version of Anti-monkey Butt powder is cornstarch with calamine powder, so that may be an alternative to talc, but more than just cornstarch.

 

You may also want to look at the ingredients in Gold Bond powders.   I know there are a few versions of it.

Body Glide, Monistat Anti-Chafing cream, or regular old stick deodorant

Not at all baby powder, but definitely helps with chafe:

I use deodorant/antiperspirant as a very effective preventative for thigh and under-book chafing.
