Help! I need a new deodorant!

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Ever since I had my baby my deodorants have not worked at all. I have 3 kinds that I have tried: Tom's of Maine lavender, Nature's Gate lavender and aloe and Spring Fresh by Nature's Gate. It's really hot in Texas and I sweat a lot and it's been starting to smell bad!
Any suggestions of deodorants that work for you?

I'm currently using and liking my roll on deodorant crystal. It is called Naturally Fresh Deodorant Roll On. They make lots of yummy scents, I'm liking the honeydew. Good luck!

I just dab on baking soda and it works better than the prepared natural deodorants.

I make my own deoderant and it works great! Equal parts baking soda and either cornstarch or arrowroot. Then add enough coconut oil to make it the consistancy that you want (I've seen people use olive oil too, but I like the smell of coconut oil better and I like that it's firmer at least in cooler temps - summertime makes it runny, but it still works!). Store it in a jar/tub/bowl and apply with your fingers.

For the last few months I have used nothing but plain old generic Milk of Magnesia as underarm deodorant. It works perfectly, is dirt cheap, and it is a healthy substance, with no chance of containing aluminum or alum, as all the crystal bars, sprays and roll-ons do. I can't use anything containing baking soda, as I react with pits of fire.

We returned from camping yesterday. Through all the hiking, etc., I had absolutely NO smell of any kind! :
