This stuff is great. I love it. It comes out of the tube like a cream and once it's smoothed on, turns into a light talc. Masterful! Because it's first state is a cream, it means it no-mess and no fuss. OK, so it's a tad expensive. Partly because it's Avent (good quality products though) and partly because its a new product. I'd rate it highly though and recommend it if you're sick (like me) of the mess that talc can make!
