Testing Fecal Simulate - Cornstarch and Xanthan Gum

So, I like messing, but the smell is quite the turn off and invokes a lot of regret once the deed is done. In the interest of developing my personal acceptance, I am trying out different simulated messes that i could sit in safely.

I’ve tried food, but I definitely don’t want to waste food at a time like this. So, I’m trying cornstarch and xanthan gum, which are barely food in their own right. 1 to 1 cornstarch with hot water to dissolve it, then a little cold water to bring the temp down close to body temperature. Then, mix in a quantity of xanthan gum to a chunky consistency.

Apply.

For a looser slimy mess, just dump a cup of tap-warm water down the back of your diaper. Proceed to squish safely and hygenically.

Any comments? Is there anything about the properties of cornstarch and/or xanthan gum that would make this a bad idea?

oatmeal is more safe I think. Cornstarch is used to thicken liquids but also in glue if I am right …

I like my poopoo to be more firm.. I always considered putting play-dough in my diaper, but haven’t tried it yet. Maybe I should try soon. However I will still poop my diapers daily.

Well, that’s fine if cornstarch is in glue as long as it’s not literally glue, amirite? Though I think I’ll reformulate. That produced an increasingly glue like consistency and was pretty hard to wash off. Maybe with less xanthan gum and more cornstarch.

I got the idea from Oobleck which is itself a mixture of cornstarch and water to produce a non-Newtonian fluid. Fun stuff.
