I’m also not the girly sort; I don’t even own a fancy skirt. I might still have a hippie skirt I used to wear sometimes, but I don’t think it’d be acceptable at work. Not really a skirt person in any case. Thanks to all you helpful folks for the great suggestions! ---

> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > Why? A lot of people put [corn starch](http://www.drugstore.com/johnsons-baby-pure-cornstarch-powder-aloe-vera-and-vitamin-e/qxp25829) on their junk. Yes, but in this case, the “crotch-stink” indicates a probable fungal or bacterial overgrowth problem. She doesn’t want to feed her new little friends. It’s like adding flour and liquid to yeast and then watching it rise. Talc isn’t a food source. ---
