The active ingredients of Original Strength Gold Bond Powder are Menthol (0.15%) and Zinc Oxide (1.0%). Some skews, such as Gold Bond Extra Strength Powder, offer higher concentrations of the active ingredients.

It doesn't burn at all. As you'd expect from it containing menthol, it gives you a nice cooling sensation.

It definately did not give me a cooling sensation. I used Gold Bond down there once and it felt like someone had set my balls on fire.

lmao, did u recently shave?

No, I had recently showered. My wife thought I was having some sort of fit..jumping around, grabbing my balls and cursing.

The major one is cornstarch.

Ah ok. Does it form a paste if you do sweat tho? In the hospital it is a policy not to use talc powder on patients who sweat and cannot move because the talc powder when mixed with sweat actually forms a paste. Have you experienced this with gold bond powder?

Oh man, I put that Gold Bond sh1t on my stuff one day and had to get back in the shower because it started burning so fvcking bad. That and it coats you with this white film that the ladies DO NOT find attractive. I found boxer briefs in the summer time can help with the sticking issue.

Boxers in the winter FTW!

don't use gold bond, its medicated, unless of course there are something seriously wrong with your boys. use regular baby powder instead...works the same without the pain.

I can't imagine how you could get enough of it to adhere to form a paste. You just pat on a small amount.

I remain at a loss to understand how this could create a burning sensation for anyone. It feels like a subtler version of menthol shaving cream.

A bit, but the fact that they are cradled keeps them from sticking to my legs.

Thats understandable. However, you do know keeping the testicles so close to your body actually decreases sperm count? ( Maybe important if you are trying to have a child, or if that is important to you.). It interrupts the thermoregulation of your balls. Because when its hot theyshould be hanging farther down. Just an FYI.

I also wear titey whiteies and don't have this problem. Besides the only time I get that warm is when playing sports. And I'd rather not have them boys flying all around during that anyway.

yeah, i see commercials and ads for it all the time (PA), never used it though. they have it for all kinds of stuff.

I've never had a sticking problem to need to try it. Are you all working in construction or crossing your legs like a lady?

1. I don't want to impregnate anyone

2. My sperm count has never been low

3. My sex life is quite active

In other words, I've never had a problem with briefs... and I have the added benefit of never having sat on my balls.

Don't put it on when your balls are wet and don't put too much on, your balls will feel like burning.
