Swimmers,
My new pool is drowning me in chlorine! I can smell it miles away. I use Ultra Swim shampoo/conditioner and it helps with the smell in my hair but what about my body?? My boyfriend has been complaining about *THAT* smell! Arg! I can smell it too and it's really driving me nuts! What do you girls/guys use to smell like a baby's bottom?????????

You can use the Ultraswim from your hair and spread it over your body. That will get the chlorine odor off you. Ultraswim contains sodium thiosulfate, a strong, but fairly safe reducing agent that bonds well with chlorine and allows it to be washed away. BTW, this is the same chemical that is used in most of the products that you can use to rinse your suit. You can buy pure sodium thiosulfate at places that sell photography chemicals. 1 teaspoon to a quart of water is as good as any suit saver chemical & much cheaper.
Jerrycat - Bronner's used to be castile soap, back when the real Dr Bronner was still alive (I think he died in 1997 at a very advanced age.). Back then they used alot of olive oil, which is what castile soap has as its base. Now they use hemp oil and it has not helped the product. Tell you what - If you'd like, send me your address (use the personal mail option here at USMS to get it to me) and I will send you a few bars of real castile soap, gratis. You WILL see a difference.
