I don't think I ever smelt it

I just got my deodorant rock today!

[WillowTheWhisp]

Tried out the rock this morning. It didn't actually feel like it was doing anything. I expected to be aware of it somehow - we'll have to see how it goes as the day goes on and I do stuff.

It's on a little marble tray which I like.

I hope you find it works for you Willow......I know that i like mine......especially as it doesn't make me wheezy like most of the sprays do.

[WillowTheWhisp]

I never use sprays because they make me wheezy too. I banish the kids when they use their Impulse and similar for the same reason, even after they've sprayed it seems to emanate from then for ages. That's why I use oil based perfumes myself and have up to now used roll-on deodorants. I was surprised how this rock didn't seem to be dissolving anything onto me - and so far so good. I think I'm going to like it.

I'm so glad Willow. I have to admit to being sceptical when I first used it....and kept sneaking a surreptitious smell of my 'pits'......and I was quietly impressed.
It will never clash with any of your favourite fragrances...and as I say, it lasts for ages.

I am decidedly impressed because I have just been shifting furniture and got decidedly hot! And it's still working!!!

[Magpi 47]

Excellent!!!!!!!! Perhaps we can get some more converts now.

Katex, I used this stuff in Queensland......which must be one of the most humid and sweaty places on God's Green......my hubby assured me that I didn't pong whilst using this stuff. It doesn't look much, but for me it works.

Well, as mentioned before Margaret, substantial modern bodily products are derived from natural ingredients .. just more convenient/quicker to buy them off the shelf so to speak, and look better in yer bathroom.

I can't use any spray deodorants as they make me very wheezy....and i have had reactions with a number of Roll-ons too......and the product looks quite attractive.....it travels well...no spillages.....only need a very small amount of water to activate it....and NO I don't get any commission for promoting it....I just like it.
It is also useful for mozzie bites and insect stings and nettlerash....so how versatile is that. It just doesn't smell of anything.

Just a bit of nostalgia here .. am old enough to remember the first commercial products .. 'cept can't blooming remember .. was in a puffy lilac lavender smelling squirty/puffy thingy. Could be obtained from Woolworths. What was that flippin' item called.. ? Although not anti-perspirant, and mixed with your sweat and not really pleasant at all.

[Magpi 47]

Yes, I can remember that too, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. I remember little white pots of O-dor-ono too.....my Mum used to use that.....but other than that I can't remember there being much choice. Not like today.

[WillowTheWhisp]

I vaguely recall a purple puffy thing.

I remember being amazed at the first anti-perspirants because until then there'd only been deodorants. Now I'm not so sure it was an advancement to be pleased about what with all the stuff being absorbed into our bodies.
