Have used it since I was a little girl on the farm. Great for any kind of dry skin.

Pros

Usually pretty cheap

Cons

Little hard to find. Use to have it at the drug store.

This product is perfect for those cracked heels and that fingernail next to skin split that happens in the winter. I use it on my dog's hot spots on her elbows and if her pads on her paws get cracked due to the salt on sidewalks. An excellent product and always fast acting and effective!

I grew up with Bag Balm on the Dairy farm. Worked good then, works good now. Kinda like vasoline on steroids.

Pros

Good for helping to heal and smooth dry, rough & cracked skin. It doesn't come off easily [It's a GOOD thing Turtle]

Cons

The smell is a lbit unusual not objectionable, but unusual.

It can be hard to find..

I have used Bag Balm for years to keep the caluses on my feet soft. I just put a blob on the rough area and put a pair of socks on to hold it in place and by morning…soft.

Pros

Effective, fast acting, inexpensive

Cons

Smells funny, is like a thick vasoline with lanolin.

I have used it for a number of years. It really help my dry chap skin, especially when I have a spot that needs some healing. I use it at night before bed where it can get deep into the skin without interuptions of having to wash hands all day.

Pros

Really good for healing chap skin.

Cons

It is a little greasy, but it works for me and that's all that matters to a myself a diabetic who skin is dry and cracky.

Good for the cow udders

Pros

None for me

Cons

I remember having to put it on cow udders when I helped my uncle w/ his cows. The feel was terrible and hard to get off.
