I desperately need some Skin So Soft.  I have always heard it repels mosquitoes and we've got them bad right now and I don't really like using Off.  I'd like to give it a try, anyone sell it?  If this is not allowed on the board can you pm me? Thanks!

I read an article a while back about a study they did about different repellants and SSS only repelled insects for 5 minutes then it started attracting them....
  I'll see if I can find it....

 What about the legendary Skin-So-Soft, the Avon bath oil that has gained such a reputation for fly repellency? Despite its manufacturer being prevented by law from making any claims about Skin-So-Soft's bug repelling action, a great many horsepeople swear by it, attributing both efficacy and gentle action to the oil. But does it really work? "It's not completely bogus," says Butler. "It works very well, especially against no-see-ums and black flies, for about 10 minutes. It has very short-term activity. There are about five essential oils in Skin-So-Soft, three of which are probably good repellents. The problem is in getting it to stick around! On top of that, the other two essential oils in the product work as attractants, so you really get a mixed effect.
"The product's reputation is based on a little activity and a lot of imagination," Butler concludes.

You can order it online, off their website...often with free shipping..
I haven't found it to be all that useful, for repelling bugs, but maybe you'll have better luck.
