The product is actually GREAT as a primer and it works just as well as the smashbox or primed and poreless primers. It's also more than half the price...

It's amazing how we can be so blinded by the NAME of a product that most of us look past what's really inside it. All these years I've been fooled into buying brand name items thinking that I'm getting the most out of my buck, when in all reality it could be found in my Walmart! The chafing gel is practiacally identical to 2 of my really expensive primer (Bare Escentuals) and shine control (Lancome) minus the price! Trust us ppl, it really is a STEAL!

Who cares what it is called. It works great and it is cheap. environmental working group rates in a 2 out 10 for toxicity. They rarely rate anything that low, so it is safe too.

I saw several postings on YouTube regarding using the Monistat chafing cream as a primer. Although I was a little skeptical I tried it and it works really well - so much so that I prefer it over the Laura Gellar and Smashbox primers I have. I have large pores, combination skin, and fine lines. I use Revlon Colorstay foundation and the finish is amazing. I love it and for the price you can\'t beat it! Shop around though...I originally bought one from Kmart for close to $12 and then saw it at Walmart and Target for about half that.

Monistat Chafing powder-gel is NOT for vaginal use! It is used on the upper thighs for women whose thighs rub together (in skirts, shorts, etc.) and to ease bikini line irritation from elastics and shaving. The title of this post is completely frustrating because this product is embarrassing enough to buy even if the clerk knows it\'s intended use, let alone for people who propel the ridiculous stigma that this is vaginal cream. Primers are also very good for women with large pores or are in a workplace environment (or other situation) where they simply cannot re-apply make-up often. The title of this post just makes me simply frustrated. I\'m currently testing it as a primer and am just getting use to primers in general, but I find it offensive that you seem to dismiss the idea of something not made by a major cosmetic brand actually being cosmetically beneficial.

Not bad for the price. Still a little surprised you called it coochie cream. :-)
