Crystal Spring Deodorant

Anne_Marie_2

Got one on recommendation of a work colleague from Holland & Barrett about 6 months ago, and find it great. I can't wear normal anti-perspirant deodorants, due to exzema, and have tried all different makes to no avail, even all the sensitive ones - everything caused allergic reaction until I used this. Cost almost £5, but well worth it, and looks as if it will last for ages.
Not had any problems with wet patches yet, but don't really suffer with sweating as such, and certainly not a keen sportsperson! :eek:

We have been using these for a few months now. Me and dd2 (14) and dd3(12), but hubby insists on his chemical laden spray still and dd1 (17) is fussy about wet patches so won't use it. DH experimented a couple of years ago with water intake and sweat patches. During a really hot summer he just drank tons of water, he sweated sweetly and it just evaporated!

I have had mine for a long time and it is still only half gone. I use it whenever I am not doing anything too strenuous during the day. It needs to be used on wet underarms so I use it straight after washing. If I go out during the evening then I use a normal roll-on and if I were working I would also use a normal roll-on, depending on the heat/pressure of my job. Either that or carry fresh up cloths to wash and then re-apply. You need to make sure that clothes are laundered and fresh (do the nose test) and I obviously use it more in the winter months than in the summer because it is colder and I am less likely to over-perspire

So in conclusion, yes I would buy one again but I would use it wisely

I have one from Holland and Barrett and I've been using it about two years, but I tend to use it only in cooler weather when I'm wearing a vest/tee shirt under my shirt as it does not stop you sweating.

Triple dry and driclor can be found in Boots and Tesco.
Both are very good.
I have never seen the stones on sale anywhere.

You can get the pitrok solid stick or a liquid version from Boots.

I reccommend the stick as the liquid (although a couple of pounds cheaper at £3.9-something) only last a month or 2 as opposed to a year or 2 for the stick.

My top tip if you wet the stick rather than your armpit is to store it upside down otherwise the water erodes the block and make holes in it, eventually these become really uncomfortable and can make you really sore.

I can recommend an anti-perspirant called Odaban, my OH has a false leg and suffered terribly from sweating as his stump is covered in thick terry socks, a foam liner and then a plastic cup. We'd tried everything because if his leg sweats it rubs and causes sores & blisters, then someone on an amputee forum recommended Odaban and it's brilliant. Apparently it was developed for people suffering from excessive sweating but alot of amputees use it.

It costs about £5, you can buy it online or get it from the chemist (our chemist doesn't stock it but will order it in for us) and it lasts ages, we bought our last bottle over a year ago! You can also get it on prescription from your doctor.
