I really like it. Unscented, I haven't had staining with it, and the antiperspirant works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant/page/2#post-2131571 Sat, 04 Jul 2020 15:43:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2131571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fresh Sugar works better for me than any other, in terms of not leaving stains, drying quickly and working even in the heat.</p> <p>When it's not really hot, I have been using a natural deodorant block from Lush, but I don't like to sweat, so it's out for this time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant/page/2#post-2131569 Sat, 04 Jul 2020 15:34:53 +0000 unfrumped 2131569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Runcarla said. Have used it forever. </p> <p>Also, they don’t sell travel sizes of unscented deodorant ( at least not the major brands in the store bins.)</p> <p>So, I tried one of those travel hacks to melt some down and fill am empty travel size. It worked for awhile and I thought I was smart stuff, then it kinda fell apart.<br /> So now I just save a couple of nearly used- up regular size— since it’s for regular travel, not backpacking, I can save weight in suitcase but there is enough physical space for the container. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant/page/2#post-2131568 Sat, 04 Jul 2020 15:24:12 +0000 Staysfit 2131568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use the same one as Bonnie. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant/page/2#post-2131555 Sat, 04 Jul 2020 14:09:50 +0000 nemosmom 2131555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much, everyone!

I’ve used almost all of the scents, both the spray and roll-on formats, but keep coming back to the Men’s 24-hour as the least noticeable and most effective. </p> <p>DH uses unscented roll-ons, either Thai Crystal or Alvera, and those work really well but neither is aluminum free if that’s a concern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant/page/2#post-2131492 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 22:49:01 +0000 Gigi 2131492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite used to be Soapwalla (original scent--the citrus scent was irritating), but that one has started irritating my armpits this year for some reason. I never smelled with it, and it didn't stain my clothes. I do have other skin issues going on, so my skin is more sensitive than usual.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am currently using Primal Pit Paste in jasmine. I do think it yellows my clothes a bit. But I don't smell, and my pits seem to be happy again.</p> <p>When my armpits are super sensitive, I use the crystal deodorant some others have mentioned. What I have found to be incredibly important with this one is to wash my armpits with soap before putting it on. Otherwise it doesn't work. I also sniff the crystal occasionally to make sure that it hasn't been contaminated with underarm bacteria. If it smells bad, then I rinse it off well and wipe it off, and it's good as new.</p> <p>Along with the crystal deodorant, I put on some powder that I made from a natural body care recipes book. I think it has kaolin clay, cornstarch, and a bit of tea tree oil--can't remember. Anyway, I think that a dusting of powder on top of a true deodorant (where you will still be sweating) works really well. I have used talcum powder in the past, but some people are concerned about carcinogenic properties of talc. I did have a health professional some years ago tell me that it's a concern only if used by the genitals, but maybe that information has been updated since--not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131460 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 20:37:59 +0000 Grace 2131460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I learned a bit about natural deodorants when going through chemotherapy last fall.&nbsp; I was doing cold-capping, which is a procedure that can prevent noticeable hair loss during chemotherapy.&nbsp; Cold-capping patients have to follow strict protocols for it to work, including no aluminum deodorants/anti-perspirants.&nbsp; Apparently aluminum builds up in the hair follicles and can weaken them.&nbsp;</p> <p>From some research, I learned that many natural deodorants will be irritating if they include baking soda.&nbsp; So, I've stuck with the "sensitive" versions of natural deodorants, which do not contain baking soda, and haven't had irritation.&nbsp; Used Schmitt's for a while (can't recommend it, caused a clumpy moist mess so I had to put on a "blotter" shirt before changing to my actual blouse for the day), but am now using Native's Sensitive product (aloe/green tea version), with very good results.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Sweating does happen but there is no odor (admittedly, there was a "transition period" as my body sweated out the chemicals).&nbsp; Although I'm done with cold-capping, I'm continuing with the natural deodorant because I'm concerned about the health effects of chemicals in regular deodorants/anti-perspirants.&nbsp; There are a lot of lymph nodes in the underarm area, and my goal is to keep them as healthy as possible.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; &nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131458 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 20:22:27 +0000 Jenni NZ 2131458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have Nivea brand there? We use a roll-on called Nivea black-and-white that is said to not stain clothes, and so far so good for several years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131442 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 19:27:08 +0000 Style Fan 2131442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>True Confession, I rarely use deodorant.&nbsp; But if it is really hot and I am going for a long walk I will use what Carla or Bonnie uses.&nbsp; It has to be unscented.<br />I am sensitive to everything and I don't see the point in scratching itchy armpits.&nbsp; Most of the time I am not that sweaty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131432 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 19:10:45 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2131432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karen13’s post reminds me that I used to use a Chrystal one I got from Whole Foods back when it was a hippie kind of place and I lived in Austin. These days I’d look at your local food co-op or something for that sort of thing. Also, the bit about no bacteria is really important. I’ve been known to use a swipe of the Neutragena we have for my son’s face. Also, a couple others have mentioned that a given brand stops being effective after a while. Same for me. Also true of shampoo/hair conditioner for me. I switch for a while, then my main one works again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131427 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 19:00:17 +0000 karen13 2131427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve had excellent luck with this crystal one - it is deodorant only, not an antiperspirant. The trick with all deodorants is to put it on clean freshly washed armpits, to prevent the odor causing bacteria from ever getting a start. I’ve used it for many years through several packaging.</p> <p>i use the unscented roll on at home and the travel crystal version when traveling by air - it is a bit trickier as the solid needs to be moistened to apply and you don’t want water to run down into the base where it will eventually dissolve the connection to the container and cause it to fall out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131422 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 18:30:29 +0000 Angie 2131422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use what <b>Bonnie</b> uses.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131407 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 17:55:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2131407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I use unscented Right Guard in the US, or sometimes Old Spice.

You can also dissolve the powder in warm water and soak the garment in it over night.

I have an unopened package of it in my bathroom drawer, and I haven't used it in about a year. I've been alternating "clinical strength" formulations of Dove or Secret lately, and they seem to be starting to lose their effectiveness, so I'm about to try DKCM again. But I am a sweat factory. Attractive, huh.</p> <p>I hate gel and wet formulations. Even when they dry, they feel sticky under my arms. I'm all about the solid stick formulations.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131378 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 15:48:23 +0000 Minaminu 2131378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weleda pomegranate roll-on is my favourite </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/favorite-deodorant#post-2131375 Fri, 03 Jul 2020 15:39:18 +0000 nemosmom 2131375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ClaraT - The Lume leaves me completely odorless, but out of the tube it has the most horrific "glue" smell.
