Hey guys what is up today I am making a video about genital decaccent powders this was often
requested by all of you and so I wanted to get some variety of options to review them
and let you know what I think about them I'm Dr Rena Malik urologist and pelvic surgeon
and I hope you enjoy my channel and if you are new here please make sure
to subscribe and give me a thumbs up on this video
so many of you probably have experienced mud butt or feeling kind of sweaty in the genital area
and the balls or have even developed something called jock itch and how can you prevent that
well some of the ways you can prevent that are some of the genital decaccent powders
we're going to talk about at the end of this video but first off what exactly is
jock itch jock itch is a fungal infection that can occur in areas of high moisture and it's caused by
something called tinea crorus or sometimes called ringworm but it's not a worm at all
so how do you know if you have jock itch well you might see that there's some areas
of your skin that are red or peeling and have some tiny little blisters around the edges
and very often it's quite itchy and where do you see this well you'll see it in your groin in any
skin folds and sometimes even in the inner thighs or buttocks so is this dangerous well if you've
had it before you probably know this already but it's not dangerous it's just really annoying and
very often if you go to the doctor they'll look at it and they'll prescribe you something sometimes
they'll take a little scraping of it and send it to the pathology lab but most often they can just
look at it and see what it is and typically we'll treat them with things such as anti-fungal creams
and what you'll need to do is wash the area and then apply the fungal cream usually twice a day
for a certain period of time until it resolves if you find that your symptoms don't improve after
two weeks make sure you go back to your doctor you can also find some of these anti-fungal creams
over the counter so when you're looking at the pharmacy aisle you want to look for ingredients
such as myconazole chloramizol or turbinophene and if you're confused just ask the pharmacist nearby
so they can direct you to the right stuff so how can you prevent this jock itch from happening well
that's why we're here to talk about genital decact powders but before we get to that i want to talk
about one ingredient that you might want to be weary of and that is talc so what exactly is talc
well talc is a combination of three minerals those are magnesium silicon and oxygen but some of the
talc that's naturally occurring occurs alongside asbestos which can cause some contamination and
you guys may have heard of asbestos before because it has been linked with pulmonary mesothelioma so
has talc been linked to any cancers well they did a study looking at talc exposure either
talc without asbestos or talc with asbestos and they found really no significant association
with talc in either of these forms with cancer however the strongest link of talc that has been
seen in data is with ovarian cancer some people say that this may be similar for testicular cancer
but the data has not been borne out and where does this data come from well in a 2019 study
they did a review of 30 different studies and they concluded that talcum powder that's placed
in the perineum which is essentially the area between the genitals and the rectum that use of
the powder in that area may be a possible cause of ovarian cancer however a study in 2020 later
looked at 250 000 women who had exposure to talcum powder in the genital area and concluded that no
talcum powder was not associated with developing ovarian cancer the american cancer society then
looked at all this data and said hey because ovarian cancer is so rare it would be really hard
to determine if there really is a risk of talcum powder use and ovarian cancer there is no good
data again linking this to testicular cancer but because of this kind of unclear association what
i recommend is using powders that do not include talc these can include corn starch baby powder
that's made from corn starch tapioca powder oat flour or kaolin clay in this video i'm going to
talk specifically about cornstarch based powders all of these things work by being drying agents
and what exactly does that mean that it helps dry up any moisture wherever you place the product
so let's talk about some products that even i wasn't really aware of the first one is bozak this
is a talc free powder that's made with corn starch and zinc oxide so this particular option is a
menthol product it's called the original scent and it helps with the kind of a cooling sensation when
you put it on also has a very minty smell to it and here are the ingredients listed uh cornstarch
and zinc oxide which help again keep the area dry i often recommend zinc oxide creams to people
who are having redness from urinary leakage it's basically what's used in baby butt cream and the
other main ingredient here to note is myconazole nitrate which is again an anti-fungal medication
it's similar to the over-the-counter anti-fungal creams but it also has this uh this powder that
helps with the cooling and keeping the area dry another great thing about this product is
a hundred percent vegan and cruelty free let's check it out so it comes out just like a powder
i'm dropping all over the place and you rub it in and you see that it's still there it's a pretty
strong smell so you have to make sure you like that it smells very minty very mentholy but i
believe they do have a product that does not have menthol in it as well the next thing made by bozek
is a cream and this cream is actually goes on as a cream and dries as a powder and so this
is also has that same menthol minty smell but it doesn't have that mess of putting a powder in your
underwear or in that area and getting it all over the place they again have very similar ingredients
including aloe vera for soothing they do have some oat which also has some drying effects and
of course the corn starch and zinc oxide and i will say that i put this on and now it's finally
dry you can see um and it's it's not uh it's not wet anymore but i probably put a little bit too
much on so that amount it took me a little while for it to dry i would put a little less than what
i showed you right there my husband has tried all of these products and at the end i'll let you guys
know what his thoughts are so the great thing about bozak is that they give a hundred percent
no hassle money back guarantee so if you don't like the product shoot them an email and they'll
get you your money back they're all also made in the united states and they again give you a
hundred percent lifetime guarantee on the product all right so the next product we have is the
dried comfort lotion this not only helps prevent sweat it also helps prevent chafing and has some
deodorizing effects this is actually the primary ingredient is tapioca starch so the tapioca comes
from actually the cassava plant and it's a drying agent again that helps kind of prevent sweating
and keeps the area dry it has no talc powder no gluten no parabens so really kind of nice
in that but it does have a bunch of ingredients in here including hemp aloe and tea tree oils
so interestingly in this they also have a female version for women to wear underneath the breasts
or on the thighs when running or doing long exercises so i did try the female product which
has the exact same ingredients as the male product and it went on really nice and smooth and dried up
really quickly and let me show you a little bit of the male product i'm not going to put as much
this time so i put that much i'm going to rub it and we'll wait for a second and let it dry
it's already drying pretty quickly but you'll need to wait a little bit so if you're going to use one
of these you will have to wait for a few seconds to allow it to dry before you put on your clothes
so our last product last but not least is your jocelyn johnson's baby powder you do want to
make sure that you get the baby powder that is pure corn starch because those are free of
talcum powder and these just include basically corn starch and this one particularly has some
vitamin e and aloe but not all of them have that you can also just buy regular cornstarch from the
grocery store and use that as well my whole family has used this i have two sons as well as a husband
and so they will pretty much always use baby powder and so when i brought these things for them
to try my husband was like okay let's try them but he's been used to using this his whole life
i think that in general this is extremely messy but it smells great it's easy it's
super cheap and so it is an option and as long as you are getting the talc free option what he felt
was like there wasn't a huge difference between regular baby powder and the other powder products
as far as the cream products people will say that if you have used a talc powder
product in the past you'll notice that these are not as drying as the talc powders and i think that
does remain true for some of these non-talc powder based products i think they were all pretty equal
and keeping you dry i personally like the idea of putting a lotion on and then letting it dry
because one it's a lot less messy you don't get powder all over the place that you then have
to sweep up and add an extra step and i think it you know i'm not a huge fan of the menthol
scent but if you like that it does add a little bit of scent the creams also have some soothing
ingredients in them like oils and things that are kind of nice for the skin as well
either way it doesn't really matter what you use as long as you are happy with it and it is
doing the trick to help keep you dry down there so that you can prevent getting any sort of jock itch
because that can be super annoying as i mentioned before i hope you liked this episode i will link
the products in the description below so make sure you check them out if you want to buy anything and
again thank you so much as always remember to take care of yourself because you're worth it
