I'm on the deodorant hunt again and I really, really don't want to switch back to those antiperspirants with aluminium and etc in 'em so, perhaps you guys can help me out

Arm & Hammer: Natural Essentials Unscented Deodorant, it is aluminum and paraben free. I haven't tried it yet, but it was suggested to me and is supposed to be wonderful

I've tried it and liked it much more than Tom's long-lasting variety, and it smells nice. It wasn't perfect, but I'm in brutal heat and humidity, so I doubt anything would work 100% of the time.

Is this stuff baking soda based? Baking soda is like magic, I use a bit of plain baking soda brushed onto my armpits (but you have to moisturize them a LOT beforehand or else it will irritate your skin) and it leaves me smelling totally neutral even on a sweaty day. But I know how bad NYC summer is, so it might not be perfect for that (nothing is!).

I also swear by baking soda. I used to just brush it on like you do, but I usually make it into a strong solution first now because its not gritty this way. It is really good at stopping stinkiness all day, and I live in part of Australia that is very hot and humid in summer.

I love the natural deodorant from Bliss:

It really works, lasts a long time, comes in lots of nice scents, and everything from this company is hand made in small batches by the two guys who run it. Their brick-and-mortar store is in my neighborhood, and I'm addicted to their stuff. They're super helpful if you have any questions about any of their products, and will do custom orders if you want something even more special than their usual stock.

I like Adidas cotton deoderants.... Once in a while it irritates my skin though.

Where do you find the Adidas cotton? I borrowed some from my mom and it worked better than any non-aluminum deodorant I've tried. I can't seem to find it at the drug stores around here though.

I get it from Shoppers Drug Mart. I live in Ontario. I'm not really sure if it is available everywhere yet.

I like the Crystal roll on, and Kiss My Face roll on. I put them on and then sit in front of the hair dryer or the fan. Kiss My Face dries a little more quickly. The Kiss My Face stick made me smell like rotten onions.
