Preparation H causes BALL SHRINKAGE???? :shocked2: Good lord!! What if it started making my "ram rod" shrink? At my age, all I need is another thing to go wrong.

Yes, come to think of it, I have heard of this use but it must be done with care because if you get it in your eyes, it can give you a crappy outlook. Or so I have heard. :haha:

Years ago I worked as a trainer in the International Shipping Dept. for a large electronics distributor. Handling cardboard cartons all day dried out my hands & they cracked all around my nails - quite painful. All kind of hand creams & elixirs were tried & nothing worked. My Dr. told me to just coat my hands with Prep H before bed & let it soak in overnite.

My cat glommed onto the stuff right away & I woke up with him licking it all off. A recoat & use of some lint-free parts inspection gloves deterred the cat & my hands healed up in no time. It's some pretty powerful stuff.

Do the gloves still fit? :grin:

Do the gloves still fit? :grin:

It only stands to reason that :idunno: - since my hands shrunk at the same rate of the gloves, Of Course they still fit

Never flush them down the toilet. While they may not hold together in a washing machine, they sure hang tough in a sewer line. No telling what they would do to a septic tank system.
They do turn from blue to a tanish color after a while, however :shocked2: .

Never thought about that. But I have wondered how they got along without toilet paper. I have tried leaves and it made my thoughts about the lack of toilet paper even more vivid. Anyone who has never tried leaves as a substitute for toilet paper needs to try them just once as a learning tool. But be sure you are near a source of water for washing up. You will need it. I might add that there is just nothing quite like walking around with crunchy bits of leaf stuck in your nether reagions. Just sayin'... Oh, and be absolutely sure of what kind of leaf you are using. Poison ivy or poison oak leaves are nothing like Charmin. Oh, and stinging nettle.....avoid that one, too. Try to live like a mountain man? Naw, I love my Charmin too much.

Next time try a pine cone....it'll work....'trust me' lol :haha: :haha: :haha:

Don't flush paper towels, it is bonded by chemical, tissue with a starch bonding agent mostly that disintegrates with water, the towel takes water and mechanical action to break the bond, I make it so I know .
