I know! And really, with all the years we hopefully live, each of us will probably buy our share of Vagisil, yeast infection stuff, condoms, and lots of other stuff that you would not necessarily want to buy with your grandma standing next to you. It's just life!

LOL! I remember when I first started my period(I was 11) I was embarrassed to buy the pads! I would have my best friend who is 4 years older than me buy them. So funny!

That reminds me of a story, I was at my In-Laws house with about 10 members of my SO's family and my little niece(she was 5 at the time) came out of my MIL's room with a box and said loudly "Grandma whats this?"
It was a Vagisil box! :nuts:
My MIL snatched it out of her hands sooo fast!! :roflmfao::roflmfao:
 
I don't know if we have this stuff here in Canada but I am going to look for it. What kind of packaging does it come in? A tube?

Queen, I think I've seen the one with the front cut out more. So you'll probably have to look out for that one too. Sometimes I focus so much on one specific thing: like a blue box with the front cut out..and I won't even notice the same product that is in an enclosed box. :push: I am really excited to use this..nothing beats staying matte all day! Shine is not attractive :D
 
I was telling my MIL about the Chafing Gel, she asked to borrow mine, so I gave it to her. She called today and was raving about how much she LOVES it! Shes going to give my tube back and buy her own today!
 
I wonder if other chafing products work well too :shrugs:

When I was looking on Drugstore.com I saw one that came in stick form like deodorant and it had spf 25. It would be nice if that worked because of the sunscreen! :nuts:

Yea it would! But, the "Stick form" is throwing me off.

Are you gonna try it??

What kind is it? Ill check out my Wal-Mart and see if they carry it. Ill try it and take it back if it doesnt work lmao!
 
wow ladies, it appears we have started a revolution on tPF!

I honestly didn't think many people would look into getting it because of the conotations associted with "Monistat"

It really means nothing to me as i am in the UK, so its just a regular product to me :shrug: I am so glad you tried it Queen, and that you liked it! I really can't wait for mine to arrive. I had to purchase it on ebay as they don't sell it over here. cost me $16 OUCH! but its still cheaper than buying a "normal" primer, so i think i got a good deal.

Can't wait to try it out for myself! My skin is quite bumpy even when i dont have spots, so somthing to help smooth it out will be heaven! x
 
One thing I need to add to my review. If you have dry skin(like me) you need to moisturize, MOISturize, MOISTURIZE before you put this product on. Its like a mattifier, so it will make your skin a little flaky if you dont moisturize first.

Thats the only downfall Ive found so far.

If I see it IRL I'm going to pick some up and try it. I want to see what the ingredients are, how it smells and looks, etc. I think it was called Bodyglide (?), I just remember the name sounded like lube :shame:

The stick form kind of threw me off too, because I was trying to think of how I'd apply it. I wouldn't want to just rub the stick on my face, because it wouldn't be sanitary, kwim?
