MALE GROOMING
A grooming product created by a group of friends from Rutherglen and Cambuslang is sending male wedding guests nuts.
But rather than losing their minds, the kilted gents are relaxing in comfort.
Nutdust is the brainchild of couples James Corner and Julie Malloy and Andy and Lorraine Clark.
The talc-like powder is designed to bring added comfort to men in areas where they may need it the most.
It has proved a hit at the recent Scottish Trade Fair having made its debut on the market back in September.
It all came about after the foursome spent a summer attending weddings, and Australian James asked Andy for tips to avoid chafing whilst wearing a kilt.
Julie explained: “Andy, having had a lot more experience in a kilt, advised James to slap on some talc, and jokingly called it his ‘nutdust’.
“After a few years - and many more weddings - we got to a point where we were having serious discussions about finding a more healthy and masculine product which would essentially do the same job as talc. They weren’t able to find any decent products which smelled good, felt good, and which didn’t have the risks associated with talc (in terms of breathing it in).”
The group, who call themselves the nutters, used an aromatherapist, a beauty therapist, and a doctor to assist with selecting oils that were safe to apply on sensitive regions.
It has proved a hit so far with men who have used it, and can also be used by men taking part in sports.
But while it may raise a laugh with some, Julie reckons there is a more serious side to it.
“We would love to see Nutdust being used by all men across the country, whether they wear a kilt, underwear, lycra, or whether they’re happy free balling.
“It’s really about whatever works for the guys out there.
“We’re hugely passionate about men’s health and want to highlight that aspect
