Vicks VapoRub Vs. Regular Lotion

[tKwRiter]

I stumbled while reading Cooking Light that talks about this. Sorry if this isn't mainly about tickling, but it could have something. Here is what it said...
Q: Is it true that putting Vicks VapoRub on your feet can soften them more than lotion?
A: There are several reasons why this medicated chest rub may actually feel better on dry, cracked feet than regular lotion. First, it's rich in petrolatum, a heavy emollient that locks in moisture, helping heal cracks. Second, it contains menthol, eucalyptus oil, and cmphor--ingredients that ease itching and discomfort while making skin feel cool and rejuvenated....

Did anyone try Vicks VapoRub on their feet???
It could be very useful for tickling measures (hehe😀)

I have heard of this and have done it when battling a cold and fevor but have not been tickled or done any tickling of the feet afterwards.

Medically speaking and its Physical effects are true however but whether or not it increases ticklishness is at this time unknown to me.
I will experinment in the future and get back to you unless someone else beats me to it.😀

Chasing the fungus?

Has any one tried sniffing athletes foot powder?

In fact any product that's lipidic (like any ointment) in nature will do the thing, the concept is that by putting a lipidic surface on top of recently water-hydrated skin you prevent the water from evaporating and the skin from drying. Vicks being of an ointment's nature will surely do the thing. However the menthol and other substances that gives you a cool feeling on your skin are not necessary, so any product that is an ointment will hydrate your skin if you rub moisturized skin with it.

You could turn this to your advantage by rubbing the feet of one of your girl friend with all sorts of products and tickling her at the same time 😉
