Okay.
Mum bathes her and I'm always there.
She doesn't do such crude tactic, plus the hot water she uses is same as the one she uses in bathing her bod.

Are you a healthcare worker?

Yes I am.
Just got back home, in fact.

It was so new to me too.
The dusting powder I mean.
When I searched Google, I found that there was little mention of it, so I decided to create the thread to get more opinions and hopefully, it will be indexed on Google.

In all honesty, for a moment there, I considered it, but mainly for aesthetic purposes, and then maybe to avoid too much pleasure, cos a close friend told me a story of a friend's friend who was so promiscuous.

That her friend took her into an empty office and showed her her hoohaa, the c.lit. It was abnormally big and shooting out like a small preek and she said the place was always scratching her, hence her whorish nature.

When that woman talked about the waka waka lady, my mind flashed to the story I just told and I was scared for my DD.

Because I know I will never circumcise her, I was scared her c.lit might turn out that way and be scratching her too.

That was even why I searched Google till I saw the results, and even then, there was little reference to dusting powder.

So I thought to bring it here to know if talcum is different from dusting powder and in the event it is, is it actually dangerous?

I thank everyone of you for your inputs. I am more enlightened now.

The talcum powder thing is not an absolute 100%. New discoveries are always given rounds of scrutiny to test their authenticity. Just saying.

The issue of the girl with the large clit is also true. Like i said earlier, the clit0ris is one of the most sensitive parts of the female anatomy and is designed specifically for pleasurable sensations vis sex. It is actually a rudimentary form of the male penis.

And yes it is my experience that ladies with bigger clits are more sexually active. Let's not try to sugarcoat things here pls. However promiscuity can occur as a result of various factors.


Question: If you knew for sure that retaining your baby's clit would make her 100% more likely to be promiscuous when she attained puberty, would you agree to circumcision now?

@question, even if it is true, I am against cutting out any part of her body.

What i don't want is a situation where her clit outgrows her vjay and starts scratching her....
I guess the reason they use water to massage that place.

A lot of things are done that don't really have an effect,more like a placebo.
Using hot water to massage a baby's c.lit won't change it's shape or size in the future.It's like massaging a nose to modify its size.It has no lasting effect but people have been so used to it,it's become a ritual.

The truth is a few women have large c.lits that look almost like a small p.enis.It can indeed be a problem because it will easily get rubbed by everyday activities.It can indeed increase sexual urge in them and it will take a whole lot of self- control on their part.Most women have it normal and can manage their urge as they grow.It depends on the factors listed earlier.

It's actually conclusive. In Washington state, women and families of women who have had or died from ovarian cancer and can prove that they used talcum powder in the past are getting millions of dollars in compensation from those multi-trillion dollar talcum powder manufacturers. Trust those shark lawyers. Class action law suits are just springing up here and there.

I think of all the talcum powder I used when I was small and I feel very afraid. Who is going to sue Morning Rose and Pears on my behalf if that ever happens to me? cry

eyinjuege:


Do you know there's an inconclusive link between powders containing talc and ovarian cancer? This is in women who have a history of application around the genital area. I don't know though if your dusting powder has talc in it.
Anyways, try and raise your child well. Let her have confidence in herself.
We do have female prostitutes who are circumcised, BTW. That certainly didn't help them (and not all prostitutes start the trade from dire financial circumstance, some are just greedy n lazy)
Many girls who act up and are promiscuous do it NOT because they actually enjoy the sex (we have very few nymphomaniacs) but for deeper psychological reasons.
Watch your girl child like a hawk (even male children are not excluded these times we're in ).
Don't leave them (boy and girl ) alone with any uncle/aunt. You and your spouse must be actively involved in raising them.
Teach them from a young age to confide in you, to know nobody is allowed to touch them around their privates. Believe them when they tell you things, and be there for them always

This one happened in Missouri
In the first of what looks to be many verdicts and/or settlements involving allegations that Johnson & Johnson ignored a possible link between cancer and its talcum-based products, a jury in Missouri has ordered the company to pay a total of $72 million to the family of a woman who died from ovarian cancer

I'm disappointed you of all people would ask this question.

No, actually I'm annoyed with you. The fact that you even mention it and think circumcision would make her clitörïs look better means you must have considered it deep down in you and that's worrying.

Your aunt sounds very old school and I'll advise you NEVER to leave your daughter alone with her.

That abhorrent act was instigated by folks from the olden days to subdue the girl child. Apart from the complications that ensue, it puts the child's life at risk.


I will be honest too. I'm shocked such question came from her. She always came across as well enlightened lipsrsealed

Applying dusting powder on a baby's vagina (even on an adult's skin, dusting powder stings how much more on a baby's vagina), massaging it or whatever with hot water is nothing else but wickedness and abuse on a child.

Already circumcised women are going through some kind of "stigmatisation". Now one of the standard questions in a western country which women originally from Africa and other "circumcision hotspots" are asked while registering for antenatal is "have you being circumcised"? Their reason for asking and adding such to a circumcised woman's health records is so that all the doctors, midwives and nurses that will be attending to her on the day of delivery/throughout her pregnancy will be well aware of this fact as it's always a shock to them when they see a mutilated vagina during intimate examination/labour/delivery.

They also ask so that you are added to a "watch list" and they ensure such woman does not do same to any daughter she might have. They are aware it's a cultural/generational practice that tends to be passed on from grandmum to mum to daughter, etc.
