My ex- (at the time a pharmaceutical chemist; this was before the nurse practitioner stage) bought a tin of Bag Balm once...and then refused to use it after reading the ingredients; as I recall there was something nasty in it: (phenol, perhaps?)
What's in Bag Balm these days?
Wolf: Speaking of Amazon.com recommenders, when I looked up Bag Balm they recommended
Anti-Monkey Butt Powder Anti-Friction Plus Sweat Absorber
Actually, they need another hyphen. Apparently they're not anti-monkey.
