It cuts friction when you have huge chubby legs and a bay window. sweaty, fungi and bacteria laden skin, skin rubbing together helps them dig in and eat you and the rash worsens day by day. eventually it gives off a gagging odor and you actually start rotting.
Men use it after they shave to prevent razor bumps.
absorbs the damp off your body....
well it acts as drying agent to stop you and i getting fungal infections as they love warm and moist/ damp places
to help you get dry, particularly after swimming!


A girl I went to school with used it occasionally on her hair to make it look less greasy when she didn't have time to wash it. It worked, too!
It is used to keep body parts dry.
Its just to absorb moisture really no other purpose.
