Where have all the cream deodorant sticks gone?!

BrownHairedQuirk · 25/07/2022 12:07

I googled but couldn’t see anything and the lady in Superdrug didn’t know. All the creamy roll on types are gone - at least in my area? I hate the wet roll ons and aerosols!

Does anyone know? Confused

They last so long it's months since I bought one. I use the Dove one.

Bobbybobbins · 25/07/2022 12:10

Yes I noticed this too, so annoying!!

GoAround · 25/07/2022 12:10

They are mostly made in Russia, that’s why you can’t get them!

Interested in this thread?

I used a natural deodorant subscription after the Dove cream one kept being out of stock, it’s creamy formula based and the scents are amazing (plus I don’t have to remember to buy/pick up at the shops) and it’s actually worked out cheaper for me, really recommend! The one I use is Wild but I think there are a few others out there!

It's not just sticks either - we usually just buy supermarket own brand, but there's none, in any supermarket, Boots etc., Only expensive branded varieties.

Carrieonmywaywardsun · 25/07/2022 12:14

Try Amazon, it's where I get my Mitchum sticks. B&M do them too i think

ReeseWitherfork · 25/07/2022 12:15

I use the mitchum one and no trouble getting it from Asda.

Purpleavocado · 25/07/2022 12:15

I liked wild until I started stinking! I'm using Rollerblades for now, but I miss the convenience of a stick

Purpleavocado · 25/07/2022 12:15

Rollerballs not blades!

dementedpixie · 25/07/2022 12:17

I use the cream Sure and Dove maximum that comes in a box. I can sometimes get cream dove (the one that looks like a big mushroom) in Savers

homarr · 25/07/2022 12:17

Oh I noticed this too. There is only 1 roll on that I use and it is perfect. None of the others stop the sweat. Hope it comes back soon!

BrownHairedQuirk · 25/07/2022 12:24

Oh no @GoAround, that’s a shame! But makes sense.

Mitchum does still seem to be around for some reason, but I use a Sure one as it’s the only one that works for me

@Thefriendlymoth I always want to try those but I can’t deal with them not being antiperspirant, I am a sweaty mess!

Both dd and I use the sure or dove stick and have had to switch to Mitchum ☹️ We are away at the moment and saw them in the supermarket here so bought 20 🙈😂

Is it the 96hr sure one you use? I had to get a new one of that and also of the Mitchum 48hrs one last week, both bought in tesco I think so may be worth looking there? I don't know if you use the tesco app at all but you can now use it to see if a certain item is in stock currently in the actual shop, whichever one is your local one or the one you use if you use their online shopping. I've found that quite handy to use for physical store stock checking.

BrownHairedQuirk · 25/07/2022 12:37

@Whatwaswrongwiththatusername no, it’s this one (hopefully there will be a pic included!)

I have checked all my local supermarkets and everywhere in town with no luck :(

@Macarena1990 so you’re saying I have to go on holiday to get it… interesting… Grin

dementedpixie · 25/07/2022 12:38

So you mean a stick rather than a cream?
I use a cream one

BrownHairedQuirk · 25/07/2022 12:48

I didn’t know how to describe it, I forgot about the cream ones that comes up through holes in the top and to me the sticks are a creamy texture 😅

I think it's a supply issue in the UK. No problems here in Spain. But I tried to get some last week in the UK and failed

Somethingneedstochange · 25/07/2022 12:57

I used to use a really good one years ago called secret. But they stopped producing it for some reason. My son who has autism wasn't happy at the time because I smelt different. The cream sure one just didn't cut it. 😂😂😂

Peckhampalace · 25/07/2022 13:12

Glad you asked as have been puzzled too.
Tried Wild but I smell after half a day. Got Mitchum in Boots a month or so ago and that's working fine until Sure comes back.
I was worried they were gone forever.

WhatIsThisPlease · 25/07/2022 13:25

I've really struggled to buy.Mitchum too. I found some in Sainsburys yesterday and bought one but if I'd known the reasons I'd have stocked up!

midmodmad · 28/07/2022 12:37

Just checked my Dove stick and sure enough, it's made in Russia - who'd have thought?!

ohblowmedown · 28/07/2022 13:08

The only ones left in my local Tesco have been Mitchum for the last couple of months.

CocktailNapkin · 28/07/2022 13:25

I could swear sticks have been on the out since before Russia/Ukraine though. Its driving me nuts - I had to settle for the cream through the holes option, as I really dislike the feeling of rollerball applied deodorant and it just seems to get sucked into my pores.
