Gold Bond Original Strength Medicated Body Powder, 4 oz

this is a great product that I enjoy using; the only caveat is that the seller did not send the ''red-capped product'' but sent the ''gold-capped one. all indications are that the powder inside is the same, but, the one sent can be purchased for about 1/2 of what the red-capped one runs.

I am on the second container of the 10 ounce bottle of the extra-strength formula. I like the product but unfortunately, the cap on the bottle is defective and does not open when you turn it. My son looked at it and said it was broken. If you could send me a new cap so I can use this in the right manner that would be awesome!

I use this powder "down there" everyday. Been using it for over 15 years. It was fantastic. Unfortunately they changed the formula (talc free) and now when I use it, the bathroom is covered with a fine layer of powder. This never happened before. Also it so fine the powder comes through the fabric of my underwear and ends up on my pants. They need to add something to the formula to make it not so fine.

I bought the Goldbond Men's Essentials body powder spray. The button is hard to push down and it stop working with around half a can of product. Unless they revamp this spray product it is not worth buying. I have bought the regular nonspray powder.

Let's not mince words...this talc-free Gold Bond formula sucks. I went on their website to see if they still make the original talc based powder and it appears that they do not. This seller listed this as the original with photos in the listing showing the ingredient label as the original talc-based label. I was disappointed to receive the talc-free version which I would not have ordered. I have used the original GBMP for decades and this new talc-free version made with cornstarch is gritty, dusty, clumpy, and irritating to the skin as opposed to the talc formula. It should not be advertised using the old original containers, description and "original" should be nowhere on the packaging. It is misleading to list it this way. This is not the product I ordered. I guess I shouldn't have ordered powder from a battery company, (and actually thought I was ordering from Walmart). Hey Gold Bond, why not just make a talc-free version and still keep the original one so that consumers have a choice?? I have been searching now for two days for a powder that is comparable to the authentic original GBMP. If anyone finds one they like almost as much, please write a review listing that brand so I can buy it. Thanks.

With at least half of the bottles I've bought, the cap gets stripped and will not open. I see from the reviews on your website that this is a very common complaint. This is an egregious product design and engineering problem and one you are obviously aware of. How can this be?

On our third bottle of the 10 oz powder, every cap has not worked after a few uses. Guess after 27 years of using will have to stop. Instead of making the top cheaper why not use a smaller container and save cost that way, the container is only half full.

Just got out a fresh bottle of beloved, formerly 5-star, Gold Bond and all of a sudden my pits are sweaty and smelly. This goes on for a couple days and then I notice the teensy "New" symbol and flip over the bottle to discover that they replaced the talc with corn starch. This new formula is dreadful, it's worse than no underarm application at all. Now I'm seaching for a new brand. Hugely disappointed by this bad, bad decision.

It's funny how you say the powder absorbs moisture, because that simply isn't true anymore. I understand why you removed the talc, but it's most disappointing since that was the ingredient which made your product worth purchasing. Without the talc, your powder is worthless.

I have used Gold Bond powder for at least 15 years and it was GREAT! This new talc free formula is awful and not using any at all is no different than using the new version. I understand the talc lawsuits had something to do with it, but men don't have to worry. Make a product for the guys with a talc warning to cover your bases. I have no doubt sales of this to men has dropped significantly.
