Deo-wipes?

Savvy_Sue

does anyone know if / where I can get some? wet wipes with a deodorising effect. badly needed for left armpit which cannot be moved away from body to apply conventional deodorant ...

I'm sure I have some, but can't find them!

They certainly used to exist - I had Nivea deo-wipes in my handbag for years!

I got some from Superdrug about 3 months ago, they were with all the little holiday size stuff.

What about Talc? You could cover tissue in talc after using a wet-wipe, they do unfragranced talc and Lush have a few with different fragarances. Also what about Eau-de Toilete which isn't so harsh in air pressure when you spray close to skin.

talc might work: I have one with a powder puff!

spraying is I think impossible, because I can stick my fingers / a flannel into the 'pit, but must not lift arm away from body ...

Wilkos used to do them, but last time I looked they didn't have any. I am going into town today, if I happen to go past it I will pop in and check, coz I could do with some more myself.

Maybe spray a damp flannel or wet-wipe with perfume, aerosol deoderant or a creme deoderant then slide into place?

Savvy_Sue

thanks. until now I've been stuffing a patch of silk underarm to mop up any dampness. today I wiped the silk through the talc, will see if that also helps.

at least it's not the height of summer!

Femfresh wipes are fairly widely available, intended for the other end and not the cheapest option but they are deodorising.
