Anti smell stuff for blokes

Postby Velvetsteph » Tue May 12, 2009 12:56 pm

Can anyone suggest a good anti pong device for my husband?
He used to be fine with them but all 'normal' anti perspirants really flare his skin up... (they cause patches of eczema under his arms)
He's quite a sweaty bloke too...
Obviously showering every day is a given but sometimes the combination of airconditioned office and hot outside and sweaty cramped tram journeys mean he really smells from time to time...
He's fine using what are essentially perfumes (e.g. lynx) but they only mask the smell really...

I love using the japanese spa minerals spray but it's a bit girly smelling for him to use - can anyone suggest anything similar?

Should I just get him a pit rok crystal?

You can get spray on Pit Rok which can be easier by hairy underarms!. Got my DH to use for a while and he was fine with it. But went back to aluminium ones as he wasnt bothered about not using them and he chooses what to buy himself generally.

DH uses a deostone (same as pitrok, there are loads and loads of brands). It's amazing, really really good at keeping smells away.

Oh thanks for this post girls, Luis has the same issues as Paul so I'll invest in a deostone.

I like the crystal spring deodorants. There's a spray one and two sizes of 'stone'. It's not scented so fine for men and women.
