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.
