    Default Bag Balm

    Does anyone use bag balm? It's suppose to be used for cow utters. I love the stuff. Its great for your feet and hands.

    Ya know, I really have to remember to get this stuff. I read about it before and forgot about it, and boy do my heels need it!

    Is it sold at the drugstores? And is that exactly what it's called, bag balm?

    Thanks for the reminder!

    Growing up on the farm, we had this around all the time! It really does wonderful things for cracked hands and feet! Things are so dry here, I've been using lotion, but it isn't really helping! Maybe I should get some of this...or just take a trip down to my parents farm and "borrow" some of theirs!

    I remember my cousin having a bad diaper rash as a baby and the doctor had my aunt buy this and use it. It worked right away. Must be some good stuff.

    We've always used Bag Balm. I use it on my feet and hands. DH used it on his hands a lot. Both of us even used it lightly on our tats when we got them to keep them moistened.

    I used to use bag balm on my elbows and knees. It's fantastic.

    Yes, and also try mane and tail for your hair if its dry....works like a charm for dry hair!
    Use bag balm for chapped hands, dry feet, diaper rash for babies, great for your hands when you garden too.
