I love drugstore.com. I shop there quite a bit...AND mostly in your category, but I have no baby.

Hi Jimmy! This post made me smile.

I might actually try this powder myself! It's almost summer, and I do a lot of walking in the heat before work where I have to do a lot of sitting (much like Mr. A Dude With a Butt from Jacksonville).

That makes total sense. I think that everyone out there that has a butt could probably find a use for this product at some time or another... glad I could help :-)

You've missed your calling. You should've been a butt consultant! :)
