I was thinking has any one tried cornstarch instead of a talc powder barrier? Because I keep on forgetting to get baby powder and Vaseline is not the best (I've had several escapes). and if you know any other barrier substitutes please share them.

Well, since corn starch is organic matter, the microorganisms that colonize on the exposed food will probably mitigate its effectiveness over time, if it ever works at all.
