does anyone here powder up their balls to avoid "batwings" or to cut down on odor?

Usually I do after a shower in the morning to aviod both

I do, to absorb sweat and cut down on irritation.

Forgive me if I sound thick, but what are batwings?

Apparently, this is what they are --->

bat wings

1)
When you're sweaty, and your sac starts stickin' to your inner thighs.
Example: Aw man, I have the worst bat wings right now

2)
Bat Wings are what guys get when things get sweaty downstairs and your ball sac starts sticking to the side of your thighs.
Example: I get batwings everyday at work from sitting for hours. It tickles when I yank them apart from my thighs.

powder up at least two times per day.

Spray Ionic Silver regularly after showers and it will stop all the nasty infections associated with batwings.

Batwings? If I have had them they obviously didn't bother me enough to deserve identifying.

Only during the summer... to absorb the sweat.

 

[MattBrick]

I don't think talc is good for you

I really never need it
I think hairy guy have it easier with that
the water gets wicked away

Batwings. LOL. I now have a name for that!

Properly fitting briefs usually keep me form getting these Bat things you speak of.

Well we've all learned a new term today - I can see the association with bats wings - thin membrane etc.... - i had to start using talc when i shaved my balls once. I think it is a mistake to remove scrotum hair: i now realise hair serves a purpose - it's nice to have lovely soft bollocks during sex play but you pay the price in sweatiness and sticky "batwings", which is basically something you have to live with all day

I have been advised not to use talcum powder because it is just a grond up metal. I have been told to use cornstarch instead.

I lol'ed to this new term like five times. LOL! (make that 6). Okay, but yeah, like canon, I did not believe that they deserved identity because I get them all the time.

Oh and, (I don't know how to quote more than one person) I am curious to discover what infections vambo is refering to.

But it seems that only people have resonded to the "batwings" portion of the post (perhaps because of its interesting implications). Personally, and just like dave20066 I am curious to know what people use to cut down on odor.

I use talc everyday. As well as avoiding "bat wings" it keeps my sack and cock nice and smooth. I also like to use talc for "lube" when I wack off. But now I'm a little concerned to hear that talc can be bad for you. Any more info on that??

Here is a link regarding talc that some may find useful and/or interesting.
