[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 496298, member: 1991"] The ones for babies are also better for sensitive skin, which is why we use them. I also use a lot of vegetable oil for all sorts of purposes! ;) If I'm cooking roast vegetables, I toss the cut up pieces of vegetable into a plastic bag with oil, and shake. Oil gets on my hands so I then wipe it on whichever part of my body feels dry, usually arms and legs. Or face. I don't use moisturiser and I don't look my age either. Despite all the sun I'm exposed to. Oil can soothe a lot. We even keep oil in the bathroom - coconut oil is solid at room temperature generally, so it can be easier to work with. Don't spend a fortune, just buy a block of Copha and put some in a jar with a lid. You can add fragrance if you choose (a few drops of after-shave? A drop or two of eucalyptus oil or rosemary oil?) so it smells more bloke-y. To add oil, melt it out in the microwave (don't overheat it, just a few seconds will do it) then add the drop or two, then let the oil solidify again. difficult child 3 is a horror when it comes to the state of his undies. He doesn't change them often enough despite my nagging, there have been times when I took one look at what came through the wash (his urine bleaches them and eats holes!) and thrown the undies into the compost heap. His jeans are not in great shape either - the anxiety angle means he tends to clutch himself (the way small boys do, only he's definitely a BIG boy in every sense) and this has meant stains in certain areas of his jeans. Plus the jeans fade on the high points, and his groin has a very obvious faded area right in front. Just not publicly acceptable, but difficult child 3 still wants to wear those jeans because they haven't got holes in therm and they're comfortable. I finally had to tell him bluntly - in public people do not want to have his genitals obviously on display, even if they're covered with fabric. The pale patch is like painting a bulls-eye on his jeans and is very much "in your face" and not a good look. I think I finally got through to him. He wears his old jeans at home but will go change into his good jeans when we go out. Maybe the size issue is because he's still a growing boy, and has man-sized appendages but the rest of him has not yet caught up to match. Hopefully one day he'll get the chance to make some girl very, very happy... he's certainly advertising, however unwittingly. Marg [/QUOTE]
