I use this on my dog's tummy rashes, and it works great

Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2014

My dog has sensitive skin and allergies, and she develops rashes/sores on her tummy. This gold bond medicated powder is the only thing we have found that actually helps to heal up her rashes. I think it helps dry up any excess moisture, and actually does seem to heal it and give her some itch relief. She actually loves getting this applied to her tummy, and happily rolls over to have it put on. It also has a really nice menthol smell to it.

Note: It is really easy to apply too much, so I suggest not fully opening the cap (so the holes are still partially covered).

Not what it used to be

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021

This used to be my FAVORITE powder. Had been using it for 20+ years, and it was always an excellent and effective product. Especially in the hot humid months of the summer! Such a shame that they had to drop the talc and switch to corn starch. I suppose the corn starch might work well enough.....if you apply it about 8 times a day?? Otherwise, sorry, but the good ol' Gold Bond is probably gone forever, and I really couldn't recommend this product to anyone anymore. And even worse....all of the alternatives are also now all corn starch. I know Talc now has a bad reputation as a "health hazard" of some sort, but IMO, people should still have the OPTION to choose it if they please.

The stuff works

Reviewed by hubby:
Here's the scenario--you're a guy, dressed in slacks and polo. It's Arizona, Phoenix area, in the summertime. You're loading 40-lb. bags onto an airplane parked on a black, asphalt surface. Once loaded, climb into the airplane that's been parked in the heat for 6 hours with the sun cooking the interior. This all adds up to sweat in a lot of places you don't want to be sweating, and a rather uncomfortable day (without a shower and change of clothes). This is my typical work day, repeated 2-6 times per day. I needed something to combat this scenario, so I decided to give this stuff a go. Why I didn't sooner, I have no clue.

After thoroughly drying off post-shower, I apply to the strategic locations. The "cloud" of airborne powder lingers for a few minutes if you get too carried away with application, but otherwise it is clean and easy. The scent is medicinal menthol, and my wife doesn't like it much, but it doesn't hang around very long. Also, it doesn't make your body smell like menthol, so don't worry about that. What it DOES do is give you a noticeably fresh and dry feeling instantly.

The initial tingles of freshly applied powder subside, but the dryness protection stays. As you can image, there is a limit to what kind of dryness protection can be achieved when it's 115 air temp and maybe nearly 140 inside the hot airplane, but it is without question better than not having it. I also notice that the less pleasant odors from such things are nearly non-existent with using this stuff. So there's really no reason not to use it, unless you just prefer the opposite of what this product provides.

Gold Bond Does the Trick

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2012

My husband has been using Zeasorb powder for years to treat his heat rash. He rides motorcycles, and the rash is sometimes very painful. The Zeasorb has been difficult for us to get where we live, so we decided to try something else. We bought some sample sizes of the Gold Bond powder for him to use when he travels, just to see if he would like it. He loves it. He says he wishes he had tried this years ago instead of the Zeasorb. The Gold Bond Powder comes in a nice, large size. He says it completely eliminates the itching from heat rash, doesn't clump, but does stay put. He recommends this product to anyone with heat rash or other similar problems.

Stinky feet no more!

I love wearing no socks in the summer. This is my secret weapon. It doesn't totally remove the odor, but it does enable the sock-less look without having to wear a nose plug. I also love how your feet feel freer in the shoe.

Great to keep you dry, especially in the summer.

Gold Bond Body Powder has been around a long time, it seriously is one of the best (old standbys) as far as body powder goes. I have used it off and on for years and it always works for me. Great for the summer, or right after the shower! Price here on Amazon is good as well, one bottle last me quite some time. Recommended!

solves the boat shoe dilemma

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2015

1. You can't wear boat shoes with socks, especially in the summer.
2. You can't wear shoes without socks more than three times before people refuse to get within 10 feet of you, especially in the summer.

I only know one way to resolve this: put a healthy dash of Gold Bond in your boat shoes every day you're gonna wear them, just before you're gonna wear them, and shake 'em around a bit. It keeps them dry inside literally all day -- even a long day of walking. I'll estimate I've worn my current pair sockless about 400-500 days, and they're still going strong. If I travel anywhere, I even pack some in a suspicious-looking Ziploc and bring that along. That's how important it is.

I honestly can't understand why there is still a "what do you do about boat shoe smell" discussion. Guys, it's over. This is what you do.

and while other people might enjoy the "cooling sensation

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2015

I bought this to use as "ball powder" and to use on chafing areas that occasionally show up. and while other people might enjoy the "cooling sensation," it was a real put off for me. I started using it on my feet, and it works pretty well, but they have a specific powder just for that. I wasn't able to use it on other area's of the body, because it was just too noticeable after application.

I took off a star because I think a powder should be something you put on, and after a few minutes forget about it (like deodorant). But this stuff would be noticeable for up to an hour and more.

I do like this product and don't mind the menthol smell. I received this about a week ago and use it more in the groin area. The smell hasn't effected me. I don't love the cover though. Not sure if it's defective or not, but if the cover is firmly in place the filter for the powder comes off with it. It's a bit annoying. They could improve the cap and perhaps the powder deliver system. It is also a bit messy to use, so you may want to apply it when standing in the bathtub. Good stuff though.
