While surfing today, I remembered back to the late '50’s when I lost my fear of the ocean and began a lifelong relationship with it. I recalled the Blue and Yellow Canvas surf mats we would rent to ride the waves with. These inflatable mats were rock hard and after a day of wave riding, my chest and nipples were rubbed raw with blazing heat making it miserable and impossible to fall asleep. Mom would always come to the rescue with that Big Blue Jar of Noxema to rub the pain away! aaaahhhhhh! ---

I saw some videos of that on the net but i didn’t download them because incestual kiddy porn is frowned upon in my state. I am working hard to have these laws overturned so that I can see you in your full glory. ---

Do they still make Noxema? I remember that our house always had that a a thing of vasaline around. I never really knew what either of them were for but we always had them. ---

In the old TV commercials, they used to pronounce it as “nocks-EE-ma” with the accent on the second syllable. The name of the product derives from “knocks out eczema.” ---

Noxema was devinely Medicated! The Color struck me as White Pearlesence and a small bit went along way, especially when youre nipples were barking! ---

Mr. Roboto, I like your ways. As for me, I’d have to be divinely medicated before I’d even THINK of spreading white pearlescence on my mom’s nipples. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mom-used-to-rub-cool-noxema-on-my-nipples/287938.md?page=2)
