I am also fat so chaffing is a issue for me. I do have a question though. I do hair for a living and I also have my hands in a bar sink alot while working at the pub. This winter I have noticed I am getting contact derm. quite freakwently after a night at the pub and if i dont get the water out from under my ring. Being a virgin do you think my skin will not react well on the playa? Also what is a good brand for the grease sunscreen?
Hiya TG!
Coppertone, or some yuppie fucking costly brand, lmao. I buy Coppertone, I like the watery pump spray stuff, doesn't feel greasy.
Yes, it is true, burgins DO burn more than non-burgins because once you get that dust on you, you're forever changed. I'm billshitting you, we all burn the same, wear the sunscreen or you'll fry and ruin your burn. Also, when out walking/biking take shade breaks, find shade and enjoy it.
Chaffing, that would suck! DO bring gold bond powder. I bring it for inside my footwear.
Not much water out there, the ring might not bother you, don't wear it if it does give you trouble.
Has anyone told you to bring white vinegar yet? So what if it smells a bit, or I guess you could use seltzer water or lemon, but white vinegar is easy. I make 50/50 vinegar/water solution in a small spray bottle and spray on my feet after a shower and or before sleep. I bring one or two gallons, in jugs, and might make a foot bath with water and vinegar. It's also handy for sharing and what's left over, I use to clean my stuff after the week, at my home-home.
Vaseline works great for all skin problems (for me) out there. I learned this from a veteran burner gal & so what if it attracts some dust, the stuff works great.
Do you think every one of us expects to make it through the burn with zero ouchies? I doubt that'll be the case...all of us probably get some sort of bruise, minor (sun)burn, scrape, lost finger nail, so what, it's camping, fancy car camping at that. You'll be okay and by the end of the week you'll have the best suntan you've had in years; by mid/late 'week remember to get some good photos of you and your new freinds with your
epic suntan, no joke, you'll be stronger (we hope!) and you'll have a
great tan. We'll see you in da dust, and have a great burn!

I'm the MAN in a truck, burner who is stuck, you're in luck! I'll whip out my BIG tow chain and not charge you, not even one lousy buck!
