Hello fellow mumsnetters! I've had a lovely customer come in to my store, in desperate need for a specific roll on deodrant. It is SURE QUICK DRY COOL BLUE. (I've found similar but it HAS to have the 'quick dry' on the front! Will attach a photo. If anyone has any ideas or links where I can get it I'd really appreciate it! Thank you !!!

It’s impossible to buy this anywhere now. I’ve just written to Unilever to enquire about it. Why didn’t we all write? I hate using anything else as you have to stand with your arms out for ages to get it to dry and it’s still sticky even then.

Hi, I have searched high and low for this lately as it's my absolute favourite. I've actually emailed Unilever and this product is discontinued 😕 I can't find another fast drying roll-on 🙄

@Spiregirl I ordered this off amazon and it was the 'quick dry' version when they arrived!

Also I ordered off a pp link and they have them! myafricacaribean.com

Has anyone found anything that’s as good/quick drying and not sticky as a replacement to the sure cool blue?

Spiregirl · 30/08/2023 17:20

I'm afraid not, not yet. I tried a spray but not as good. I've seen good reports about 'mitchum' but not sure if it's the stick or roll on. I've also discovered the alcohol is not in many roll-ons and I think that's what makes it quick drying 🤔

DupontsYellowDressingGown · 02/09/2023 23:53

Just discovered this thread after googling the product as I've not been able to find it for a while. I've also written to Unilever, gutted this has been discontinued as it was the first ever deo/antiperspirant I used way back when it used to be in a glass container. Have ordered some on Amazon and will have to use it sparingly.

Just had this response:

I’m happy to help you today to address your questions or concerns, and if I can’t, I’ll make sure you get support from our amazing consumer engagement team.

The Sure Cool Blue Deodorant roll-on you are looking for has, I'm sorry to say, been unavailable for some time, and is now discontinued from the range. Sure constantly comes up with new ideas and better products, which does mean that sometimes older products get removed from the market to make room for new ones.

Products are discontinued for a number of reasons like manufacturing issues, popularity, costs, however, we aren't privy to that information.

I've checked online and can see stock remaining in the following stores.
Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Sure+Cool+Blue+Deodorant+roll-on&i=beauty&crid=2NTDNPMCB58Y&sprefix=sure+cool+blue+deodorant+roll-on%2Cbeauty%2C117&ref=nbsbnosss_
The Range: rangeplus.com/search?type=product&q=NOT+tag%3A__gift+AND+Sure+Women+Cool+Blue**_

You can view all the current products on this link but I'm sorry there isn't another that states 'quick dry'.

I think it's because there now is 'no alcohol ' in products, I'm sure that's why it dried quick! I cannot find any roll-on n that has alcohol!

thisismytemporaryusername · 11/09/2023 09:05

I just stumbled across this thread while searching for the same! I found and signed up to this - think it's for store bulk buying but I was able to register an account. Some stores are showing stock, but none of them are close enough for me to check, or collect (no delivery available to my area). If anyone is close to a store, it might be worth a try? https://appyshop.co.uk/store-9/household/toiletries/sure-ron-cool-blue-50096350

greenacrylicpaint · 11/09/2023 09:11

yep. it's the alkohol.
it makes products dry quickly and also disinfects the skin.

it's incredibly drying to skin as well and can irritate skin, especially after hair removal.

thisismytemporaryusername · 11/09/2023 09:19

Hmmm so I was able to add this to my basket, but it's always possible there's no stock. It works out as 2.20 / piece. Anyone familiar with this store in Nottingham? https://arianasupermarket.co.uk/cart/

My requirements for an anti-perspirant are quite simple. It should dry quickly and not have a strong, lingering smell. Oh and it should work. Sure cool blue was perfect and I used it for years.
I have found a product that suits me just as well. Nivea Men Cool Kick. Alcohol is its second listed ingredient, rather than Sure's first, but it dries very quickly. No strong and lingering perfume either.

Spiregirl · 12/09/2023 08:04

Oh I agree about the roll-on! Thank you for the info, I'm going to get some of this Men's and try it 👌

Spiregirl · 15/09/2023 11:13

I have this on today. I can agree it's about as good as we're going to find. Dried in a decent time... smells ok and is keeping my underarms dry 👌

moggle · 29/09/2023 07:51

Thanks for the Nivea recommendation! It has really annoyed me that they’ve now discontinued all the Sure roll ons with alcohol. I totally get that some people find them drying but I’ve used them for 20 years and no problems. Gah.

Claire707 · 24/02/2024 16:31

Hello,
I too have been very disappointed that this is no longer available. My online research says that many deodorants have been removed from the shelves due to the presence of ‘BENZENE’ which can cause cancer. I am now using up my remaining stock of it and i am unsure what I will use once it is gone.

Claire707 · 24/02/2024 16:36

Sure quick dry roll on

moggle · 24/02/2024 20:02

I tried the Nivea men’s one but just couldn’t get over the smell, fairly agreeable but in my brain it is a man smell and it was kind of constantly jarring me! In desperation I gave another sure roll on a try and it was awful; I couldn’t handle the sticky feeling in the first 10 mins, regardless of what I tried it just wouldn’t dry, although have to admit didn’t really notice any difference the rest of the day! I’ve moved to a Mitchum stick deodorant now which is fab.
