So there is a men's grooming product I found last summer that I became quite enamored with. Using it again this summer, I've found it's even better than I remembered, and I'm going to tell you about it.

I'm sure many of you have the same experience as I do: summer comes around, it gets hot, it gets humid, and the whole crotch area gets sweaty and awful. It's not just swamp ass, it's swamp taint and swamp balls, too. And those mini-crotches between the ballsack and each leg? Forget about it. I've tried a number of products over the years; none was satisfactory. One of the more popular products, Gold Bond powder, even caused more problems than it solved. I'll leave it at that.

A good proactive solution is to put a little antiperspirant in that area in addition to your pits. Highly recommend that course of action. But what if you're already crotch deep in the swamp, what then? I present you Butt Body Rescue Powder (hereafter BBRP)

It's mostly arrowroot powder, which some of you may remember as The Galloping Gourmet's favorite sauce thickener. Also zinc oxide, and a very light lavender and citrus scent. The ingredients also list cinnamon powder, but I detect neither the scent of cinnamon nor the warming sensation associated with it. My routine is to use antiperspirant in the morning, and in the evening, after I shower, I slather the whole undercarriage area with BBRP. It's a delight.

Cons: the shit's expensive. About $18 for 4 oz., or $4.50/oz. Gold Bond powder, on the other hand, is less than a dollar an ounce. But on theother other hand, I'm two summers in and have still used less than half of it, and it doesn't set the swamp on fire like Gold Bond does.

Disclosure: I bought it with my own damn money from the guy who went into space on his penis rocket.
