Gold Bond No Mess Talc-Free Body Powder Spray, 7 oz., Fresh Scent, with a Triple Action Formula

This product is an absolute necessity for me during the warm weather in Montana. It keeps me dry and prevents chafing, as I'm doing physical work and I need the protection it affords. Gold Bond has never let me down.

I've stayed silent long enough Lol. I'm searching amazon again for a body powder spray and this is one of a limited selection of products. . Then I'm going through my cabinets today and see I already have it. Great. I wondered why I wasn't using it since I'm searching for a body spray again. I found out pretty quickly. The nozzle is barely making a sound. I shake it. I turn the nozzle all different ways. I press even harder and some powder sputters out. Then doesn't work again. If I run the nozzle under hot water and shake it like my life depended on it...oh and press the nozzle super hard like my life depended on it, I might get a puff of white powder, then a spray mist for 3 seconds and and then nothing until I repeat that process...so this is why I never ended up using the can in my cabinet.I originally bought the spray in Dec 2021 and it said "NEW" on the can. Who knows if that's true because it also said "NO MESS" in all caps as I stand there with white powder puffs on my body. So I look on Amazon today to see if the reviews got better more recently...like maybe fixed the issue. Logical, but no.People are still complaining of the same exact issue 1.5 years later.Shame on the manufacturer. They're a big pharma company and can't get this right? Oh, my bad. It's the consumer division. I hope they can at least get their meds right. I'd love to be a product manager there. "Hey guys. I know how we can sell more of this product even though the formulation causes the nozzle to jam. We could change the packaging and make people think the product improved." Come on. If your product doesn't work, take it off the shelf or reformulate it. Don't redo the labeling to sell more of it like you don't know what's going on.And why why why can't someone make an unscented body deodorant spray? I feel like I'm the only person in the world that wants to do yard work but not walk around outside for hours all sweaty. Some geographic locations have alot of bugs. Go figure. Scent and bugs don't mix. I will say the scent of this spray isn't too overpowering...but it's hard to tell for sure since I only get a few puffs out if the can.I'm normally not this negative...but this is frustrating.

Exactly as Described

Very good for crotch moister, Sprays for a while and quites, shake and go again, very cooling like this spray.

Absolutely fabulous scent and no mess application. Better talc. Try it, you would like it. It works as a deodorant and foot power as well.

I like this product I've used this product for many years. However something needs to change with the spray nozzle. I literally have to rotate between three or four cans at a time in order to get the powder to actually spray out. I have dismantled the top and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But when they rebranded this a couple of years ago the hit and miss spray got even worse. It occasionally happened with the old style can but now I can get 3 days out of a can before it clogs back up and then I have to rotate to a different can. Gold Bond please do something and change the nozzle on this can. I added a picture of what I mean when I dismantle the can. I have to take the plastic ring off so I can clean the lid. Doing that with a pair of scissors isn't the safest thing to do. Fix the can gold bond!

I love Gold Bond powder but you need to know how to get it to spray. When it stops spraying, run the can under hot water for 30 to 45 seconds. Just let the water run, hold the can on its side from the ends and move it back and forth through the running water. The can should be warm to the touch. It should spray again. There is no need to peel the spray head off.This does two things, one it increases the pressure in the can to force the powder out, two it thins the powder making it easier to spray. People have been doing this to spray paint cans for eons.If this is too much work, then fill the sink with hot water, drop the can in. Take your shower or bath and it’ll be ready to go when you get out.

I read the reviews before I bought it I knew there was a chance it wouldn’t spray right but what I was not prepared for was the can unleashing every 7oz into my tiny bathroom all at once. I used it a couple times and it did have an issue spraying, it just doesn’t come out of the can well at all. But this time I take off my shirt and pants to un-sweat myself after my 40 minute no ac drive in 108°f. It struggled to spray for a little then the nozzle or something got stuck down and it wouldn’t stop spraying full blast. I tried pulling the trigger back, plugging the nozzle and locking the cap all to no avail. My little bathroom was turned into a ginger scented gas chamber. And to make matters worse I didn’t have a shirt or pants so I couldn’t run out for help. After the can emptied itself I thought finally it’s over but now it’s hissing at me. I’d only buy this if I have a very sweaty enemy worthy enough of the ginger gas chamber (which I don’t). It could possibly be used as a weapon of mass destruction.It’s also very much not “mess free” I look as tho I’ve rolled in a pile of chalk. The scent is not very “fresh” either. It’s more of a “breath through your mouth and try not to dry heave” scent.The only nice thing I have to say is the cooling sensation feels pretty nice after being in 108°f and it will keep me dry for maybe 20 minutes if we’re lucky. Luckily it’s a non returnable product so Amazon refunded me for my ginger gas chamber experience.
