Deodorant

[clothmama]

I'm guessing none of them are antiperspirant??

Nope. Not come across a natural AP in my searching. I guess the aluminium nasties are the bit that do the AP bit as they block the pores. I'm a "heavy sweater" and manage fine though

the thing is if you bung your pores up and coat your skin with toxins you're going to have to excrete those toxins somewhere else along with the stuff that should have come out of the blocked-up pores. Also the less toxins in your diet the less need for deodorant as there's less to come out. This doesn't account for normal food-related smells like fenugreek, garlic and cow's milk!

I use a deo-stone, when I can be bothered

I'm guessing none of them are antiperspirant??

Not specifically but I do find that I sweat less when I use the one I use - Japanese spa minerals, and of course it doesn't smell when you do...

Yes they don't keep you 100% dry but then again avoiding synthetic materials and using the spa minerals spray I find that I don't sweat anywhere near as much as if I use an "anti perspirant" and wear acrylic or polycotton or similar...

I used to use a Tisserand one with Tea Tree, was really lovely but cant find it anywhere since my local chemist got bought out by Boots. now have a Sanex but want something nice again!!

I tried Pitrok.

I use it when i am dossing around at home all day but i use Dove for out and about. Will be trying other stuff though. I find that if you haven't washed thoroughly before applying the pitrok then it can hum of sweat very quickly and you have to wash it!

ooh thanks xx

I'm using the Lafes hemp roll on one from Bums N Roses. Seems to work fine if I give the roller-onner a little wipe now and again and...crucially....wear natural fabrics.

If you're not having success with natural deodorants, I would definitely look at the clothes you are wearing...maybe I'm a bit dumb but I couldn't work out why it was working on some days and not on others...then I twigged it was my clothes...synthetic fabrics = nasty niffs!
