Quick drying roll-on deodorant wanted

juliettet

I use Bionsen (sp?) stick - it is like a solid gel. It dries very quickly and doesn't have aluminimum in. They do a spray and a roll on too.

TomsMom

I use Vaseline Intensive Care Dry Cream. It's exactly that - dry! No waiting around, can put clothes on immediately.

Glad to hear that - first time I used it after all the recommendations was to a big meeting and I ended up having to keep my jacket on to avoid embarassment tried it again for the gym the other day and within about 10 mins...eek! I thought I was doing somethign wrong with it

Re the Mitchum isn't it funny how everyone is different it's the only one that stops me being whiffy, every now and again I try another when it's on special offer and end up binning it and going back to the old faithful.
I stopped using sprays because they kept going all poedery on me.
I wonder if they are changing the formulas ie reducing the amount of alcohol in the roll on's to make them kinder to skin and this is making them take longer to dry?

I don't doubt it! I find anything labelled 'sensitive' or, for some reason, any product designed not to cause white marks, stays wet for ages!

I have the mitchum roll ons and they do take a bit longer to dry. :rolleyes:They work though in stopping me smell after a hard day at work,but not for 24hrs as it says on the tube.
I only tried them because they were BOGOF.

But...even though I'm not really very sweaty, as someone who had a physical job for years I can recommend Sanex roll ons. They are available fragrance free but I like the peachy coloured one, it's a nice fresh clean soapy type smell.They seem to stop me getting whiffy.

Soft and gentle spray deodorants left me a bit whiffy by the end of the day, but at this point I have to point out I do shower every morning, but sweating intermittently at work does mean the possibility for whiffiness is there. Using the right soap in the shower matters too. Original source shower gel or imperial leather active soap both work well. Dove shower cream, Simple soap, sainsbury's veggie soap amongst others seemed to leave bacteria behind.

hth!

forgot about sanex, I've been using it too and do think it's good, though takes a min or two to dry as well in the roll on format...

Sounds daft but if you want to speed up the drying process in the morning then a quick blast with the hairdryer does the trick:D
