Anti Monkey Butt Powder: An Honest Review

 
Hey there! I'm an Amazon Associate, which means I earn a commission when you click one of these links and buy something. This does not change your cost at all.

 Yes, you heard me right. Anti. Monkey. Butt. Powder. I'm committed to bringing you information no matter how awkward or uncomfortable it may be. This is my honest review, I hope it blesses someone out there!

 On a recent trip to a warmer climate, I began to experience some... uncomfortable chaffing between my thighs while wearing a dress. This doesn't happen at home typically because it's not warm enough for me to sweat! But I've been learning of late as well that heat + humidity makes my skin fragile. I'm more likely to have skin tears or blistering from normal, basic things. For example, I wear flip-flops as much of the year as possible at home with no issues whatsoever. If I wear them in a warm, humid climate I end up with multiple blisters almost immediately. I even got a blister on the bottom of my foot in Floriday, while using a wheelchair! I also run into trouble with my Visible arm band causing blisters and other skin irritation. 

 I researched solutions to my dilemma and came upon a few. One person suggested wearing bike shorts under my dress.


 This definitely helped as my thighs were no longer rubbing against each other, but they are a warm layer and sometimes too warm with the weather. In addition, this did not help with other parts of my body.

 The other suggestion was something that sounded unconventional, Anti Monkey Butt Powder. No doubt they chose the name in order to stand out, and it worked! The nearly 3,600 reviews averaging 4.7 stars caught my attention as well. It has four, simple ingredients: Cornstarch, Calamine Powder, Tricalcium Phosphate, Fragrance. The riskiest of these is the fragrance, which some people might react to. There is also a hypoallergenic option, but it too has fragrance so YMMV. I am rather reactive to fragrance, but so far I haven't had an issue with this one. 

 The ingredient that I appreciate the most is the calamine. Coming home from the trip I mentioned earlier, I ended up with a "contact dermatitis" rash from where clothing had created friction against my skin. I had ordered this powder while on my trip, so it was waiting for me when I got home. I was surprised to find that I didn't have any negative reaction to it at all. In fact, over a few days, it helped clear up the rash entirely. 


 With my newfound knowledge about my skin's fragility in certain climates, I made sure to pack my AMB for the cruise that I'm currently sailing on. I just transferred some of the powder to a smaller spice jar with a shaker lid. I'm so glad I did because a few days into my trip I found that my body had started to react to my deodorant! Things like this happen periodically where I start to react to things I've used for years. Perhaps it is the climate + the deodorant, but either way, I couldn't keep using it. Neither could I run around the ship without any deodorant! The climate did not make that ideal either. So, I decided to try my AMB on my underarms. To my delight, it not only worked to help as a deodorant, it also cleared up the rash left by my former one! It was long-lasting, it's effect continuing into the next day. The only down side is that it also acts as a anti perspirant and sweating is such an important part of our body's toxin elimination system. As a short term solution though, it is definitely doing the trick!

 How does one apply this powder though? Their suggestion:

 I'm one of those hyper sensitive people that won't even touch raw meat without gloves though. I couldn't imagine putting powder on my hands and attempting to rub it in. Then I remembered the old fashioned powder pouf. I looked it up and, low and behold, they still make such things!

 I ordered a set of two for my home, and then I loved them so much I ordered some smaller ones for travel. 

Here's the Thing: Unconventional name or not, this stuff works! I'm a big fan and happy to share it with you. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

At least it's not bad news

  Radical tumor removal is not always possible because of the critical brainstem or diencephalic locations of some tumors. Tumor progression and eventual death are likely in such patients. Stereotactic radiosurgery for pilocytic astrocytomas part 1: outcomes in adult patients Kano et. al.  So my posts are usually preceded by a scripture verse, often an encouraging one. Today I needed to give you an insight into what I've been experiencing. From the time I was diagnosed with a brain tumor, about a year and a half ago, I was reassured that it was a "WHO grade 1 benign" tumor. I, mistakenly, took this to mean that it wasn't a big deal. Even when I was told in June that it had grown "slightly," I thought that meant they'd zap it with radiation and that'd be the end of it. Guess what, I was wrong. When my June MRI revealed growth, I was referred to the Tumor Center for treatment. Fearing a long, drawn-out process, I was relieved when they scheduled all my...

The Next Crazy Thing

Buckle in! This is a processing post so it is likely to be long and wordy and emotional and probably flawed in many ways. I thank you for your patience and anyone who makes it to the end gets bonus points in my book 😏.  Let's start with the info. I've been having progressively more intense, more frequent, and longer lasting migraines. Since my eye surgery in May, I've also been experiencing a great deal of nausea, almost daily. Sometimes meds help (with either), sometimes they don't. In addition, since the eye surgery, my double vision has intensified. My depth perception is shot, I'm regularly missing things I grab for, mistaking curbs for cracks in the sidewalk, bumping into walls or counters. Those are the three things that neurosurgery told us to watch for with regards to the shunt functioning properly: headaches, nausea, and vision changes. Now the vision changes were probably because of the surgery and the nausea was probably  because of the migraines, but th...

When "Wait and See" Wouldn't Sound so Bad

    Ten days after I received the call letting me know that they found something on the MRI I was sitting in the office of a Neurosurgeon.  I have no doubt that God orchestrated the circumstances that had brought me there, including a friend who is also dealing with a brain tumor recommending this clinic. But how could any of this be real? Only a couple of people knew what was going on, but there wasn't much to know before this appointment. All we had were a few key phrases on the MRI Study Result and our dear friend, Dr. Google.  I went into the appointment with the impression that the doctor would either recommend watching and waiting, doing another MRI in six months and seeing if anything changed, or taking it out right away.  In previous encounters where the option was to wait or do something I have vastly preferred doing something, but this time it was different. I had read about the potential complications of surgery and I was scared.  Not to men...
