that was torn A$$-hole syndrome, not torn not a very nice person syndrome. also baby wipes help. after you take a huge dump, wip your ass with those and your butt will feel cleaner than when you stepped into the hell hole that is the festival pot-o-pottie.
i didnt bring any because i have never had a problem at roo before. but i di this time. it sucked arse. i will definetly be bringing it in the future. it didnt bother me too much until sunday. i didnt get to dance much at phil cuz it was painful. oh well live and learn. thatnk god i only had a short walk to camp
I didn't have nay prob with chafing anywhere (feet, groin, etc). I'm not sure if it's just me, or if it has something to do with the cargo shorts and flipflops having good airflow. (I only wore cargo shorts and flipflops at roo.)
Gold Bond is the ish, best thing ever for a lotta walking in extreme temperatures.
As a side note, I bought some boxer brief undies as recommended by some people. Well, I busted them out Thursday night and was wearing them all night. Well, the next day I was talking to my lady about how damn tight they felt. The whole evening I was thinking that must just be how boxer briefs feel. Then the next day I started putting two and two together and realized that when I bought the boxer briefs that I might have never looked at the size. So of course I go looking at the boxer briefs that I had bought and sure enough they were the small size. I had this revelation after being up for about 24 hours in the small boxer briefs. But although it might have been uncomfortable, the generic gold bond and the boxer briefs did make it so that I never got the dreaded "fat guy thigh" syndrome. Just need to check sizes next time.

Gold Bond is magic for your crotch. I can't believe no one hasn't set a Gold Bond booth in Centeroo - it would be a PR bonanza for the company (which has a TN address, BTW). Their website will give you the lowdown on all things GB: www.goldbond.com/home.asp including apparel (GBWeaR) and testimonials!! I wanted to send them a link to this page but all they had for contact info was a snail mail address...
Am I the only person who just drank the pain away?
Speaking from experience (military and rash are synonomus with eachother), Tough Actin' Tinactin works INCREDIBLE too, if you can get past the initial pain from application.
Anyone have problem from athletes foot? I didn't because I wore sandals the entire time (or went barefoot), but SERIOUSLY, the best cure for athlete's foot, for those of you who wore SHOES, is your own urine. If you paid for one of those showers and didn't take the time to pee on your feet, that's a shame. Miracle turnaround time on how fast your urine can heal itchy and cracked feet.
AND, to cut off the question before it even arises...
NO, none of you may pee on my feet if I have athletes foot next year. I know someone is going to make a crack about it.
GoldBond definitly saved my life this year.. I wore boxer briefs and used GoldBond everyday because I had the worst experience last year and didn't have a single problem

Huh. I have only had a chafing problem once in my life and that was while running a marathon. Perhaps I am just lucky but every year I read all the goldbond threads and get confused. Am I just too sedentary at roo? Am I not meeting my dancing quota?

I have to admit... I read all the warnings prior to Roo last year and went out and got me some. Never had occasion to use it. Didn't need it. Is there something wrong with me?
Ive got to say, i have some on right now . . . . . . i am like 30 pounds heavier right now than i was at Roo last year . . . .. yeah, i eat a lot in the winter . . . . . .and if i dont do something about it, June will not be fun. I used Gold bond for shits and giggles last year, cause someone told me it felt good on your balls, but im wearing it today cause, well i was doin some hardcore treadmilin yesterday, and it irritated my inner thighs.
my weight hasnt changed. we were in the boonies in 04. 40 minute walk to centeroo and i had no problems. a slight issue in 05. and by sunday last year i could hardly bring myself to move. damn it was painful. bleeding painful. and then at all good we were in the boonies and were climbing mountains and i had no problems. but at gathering of the vibes we didnt have too much walking and it got pretty bad. i am unable to determine what it is that causes it some times and not others. maybe humidity? i dotn know. but his year im stocking up on all of these things and finding out what works best.

I brought some of the Medicated Powder to 'Roo last year, knowing I would have to use it at some point.
Friday afternoon, I brought the stuff out, and my buddy borrowed some. He went into his tent, I went into mine..
Four minutes later, we both ran out screaming. Apparently, the Medicated Gold Bond comes with a handy dandy burning sensation. I guess it's the menthol. Anyway, that made it worse.
My friend didn't talk to me for hours. He was quite pissed.
Anyway, lesson learned: Don't buy the stuff in the green bottle.
the stuff in the green bottle is what you NEED for that situation. I found it to be a quite plesant sensation, and in my expierence it works perfectly. You know what irritates it and makes it burn. .. . lube . . . nuff said.

Not at all. Really doesnt happen to me either, and I spent more time walking last year than sitting. Its still a great thing to bring with just in case. Some severe chaffing can ruin Roo for even the most die-hard fans. Same deal with massive sun-burn.

I think most folks who dont live in sunny winter climates put on a few. Im at 160-65 now, but 5 years ago I hit 240 after I stopped playing ball. So I know all about chaffing. When I dropped all the weight I was on a 5 day a week 2 hour workout that ended with 30 mins on the stairs. That would even chaff Iron Man.
I was born in the back seat of a Yellow Cab in a hospital loading zone and with the meter still running. I emerged needing a shave and shouted 'Time Square, and step on it!
definately one of the first things on my list of to brings along with tickets, and cash
Tee hee, I forgot my ticket last year. Luckily we were only about twenty minutes away when I remembered. I felt like such a dumbass!!!!
Back on point, though: have any of you gentlemen ever tried a good old fashioned jock? I've had decent success with J&J's baby power but am always looking for ways to improve.
