3-5 times DAILY?!?!
can't be spending all day on the can, i got sh*t to do!! :D
seriously, i don't think five times daily sounds healthy at all...
Hi all,
A friend of mine told me that she used geranium oil as a deoderant with very good results. She is a hair dresser with a very busy practice, so her grooming is important. I've gotten a bottle to try, so we'll see how it goes. She uses one or two drops per arm. Geranium oil has a unique aroma, but pleasant.

Dear 3D Student and others,
If you haven't find a nice deodorant yet, I'd like to recommend you this one. Thanks to abstract, I came to know about this product.
I bought it via iherb.com, tried it and I must say it is the best, if not thé best, deodorant I've ever used. Almost would call it magic :P
You can also check out the reviews if you want:

Fwiw.

Rinsing it with running water a bit longer will take care of that. You basically just need to keep it clean, so let the water run over it until there is no more smell.

Several years ago when I felt like deodorants were not only unhealthy but also not doing their "job" (kept having to try a new one because of their ineffectiveness), I started just sloshing some isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol under my arms. It took a few weeks for my pores to unclog, but since then, I've really enjoyed its use. Another great benefit is its inexpensiveness.

I've tried the alum stick (couldn't get rid of the smell on it plus it didn't work for me) and I've also tried just fluffing some baking soda on which is not so effective in hotter weather. I'm using this now with good results.

Not so sure about the cornstarch though.

I've found not putting the cap back on the crystal deodorant, letting it breathe, also keeps it from getting stinky.

Hmm that makes sense. I will try that, thanks.

This thread has prompted me to go back to using the crystal again.
Regarding it being a little stinky, part of the issue, I believe, is transferring bacteria/fungus from the sweaty bits to the stone, rinsing it and then putting it away still moist. This probably creates a wonderful breeding ground for the bacteria, all though I thought the stone itself is a bacteria inhibitor. Perhaps the bacteria could grow in crevices of the plastic holder and cap.
Going out now to find a decent stone and hopefully be able to pitch away my anti-perisperant.
BTW, I noticed some of the younger generation I've encountered were not aware of the difference between an anti-perisperant product and a deodorant product, so when they tried different products and found some worked better than others, they had not noticed that it was the pore-clogging anti-perisperant that was doing the trick. All a deodorant usually does is cover up the smell.
