The original comment was removed but are we saying that baby powder is bad for us in 2026 because it has up to 30% asbestos in it? Because I put medicated powder on my balls pretty regularly. The burn makes me feel alive.
lol yes, baby powder (which is talcum) is bad for you. There was a large lawsuit in the UK in 2025 with 3000 claimants against Johnson & Johnson regarding their Baby Powder, and sale of baby powder has been stopped in the UK in 2023.

I thought they updated the ingredients after that! Noooooooooo! My balls!!!
There’s no updating anything with talcum, sadly. It is practically inseperable from asbestos, and they appear side by side/intermingled, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talc#Association_with_asbestos
But the replacements using Corn Starch are fine (and in my experience it also works pretty good)!
