Has anyone ever used this? It has been recommended to me as it is meant to be very effective, but I have read a few reviews about it causing uncomfortable rashes:eek: . Does anyone have any good/bad opinions of it?

I think it's great, and as for rashes, well it's probably to do with skin allergy than anything else. I have sensitive skin, and come out in a rash from the strangest of things (most recently the aloe strips in the Old Spice battery razor, but also Veet products and some shower gels), it all depends on sensitivity to certain ingredients.

I use Mitchum, I've used it for a couple of years now as no other antiperspirants work that well. I use the Smart Solid one - really good, don't have sticky roll on armpits or fits of coughs from a spray!!!!
Defo worth the extra pennies!

Might be worth checking out https://www.money-off-coupons.blogspot.com. There is a printable coupon on there worth £1.50 off, in any store, until Dec 2008. Might save you a few pounds.

Has anyone else noticed that it has become less effective recently? I only ask because I have read that they have altered the active ingredient and have had to remove the 48hr claim?

Yes, I've noticed that too. Thought it was just me. Been using the stick version for years without problems but in the last month or so its not been working so well.

And Savvy_Sue, I've found they break off too, and I have to keep picking them up off the floor and try and stick them back together. This time I keep putting the little clear plastic top thing back on (the one you have to take off the first time you use it.....not the lid ) to try and stop it drying out, to see if that solves the problem.

I used the solid stick for a week and it brought me out in a horrible rash on both armpits. It was itchy, sore and flaky like an exzema rash (never had it ) and disappeared within a week of throwing it out it. Won't ever touch it again, back to sure for me.

Well, I hope that works for you, but I've always left the little clear plastic thing on as well as the lid! And STILL they break! And no, they don't stick back on. I've tried using the broken off bit stuck to the clear plastic bit, but it's not entirely satisfactory, a bit scratchy and it falls out. Loathe to just chuck it though! :rotfl:

I started using it years ago as it was perfect for all night clubbing sessions and I would never worry about getting a bit whiffy after being in a club and at parties all night. the 48 claim was perfect. I still use it but don't have a perspiration problem so can't really comment on that but it doesn't nip after shaving and I love the pink smell.

Product works for me too.

I would agree with stick breaking off. I have given up with the stick and gone back to roll on.

I use one which comes in a small roll on and you put it on at night. It is called Driclor I think.
It then works overnight and literally stops you sweating. You wash it off in the shower in the morning and use a normal deodorant (I just use sure). You then literally don't sweat after that. It takes about a week to get the full effect. My sister who wouldn't wear certain colours of tops as she sweated in to them so quick uses it and now doesn't have a drop of sweat from her armpits.
It is farily expensive about £7 but it lasts ages and is worth it, especially as it saves you having to do a hot wash, you can just do a quick one.

I always use the roll on, and it's pretty effective, but not as good as it used to be...

I liked the stick but recently they keep snapping off, one after one day and I didn't even have it unscrewed that much

Don't bother with the aerosol, I just tried it and it went "clumpy" and stuck to my clothes instead!
