…to wonder where all the stick deodorant has gone?

[Onewildandpreciouslife]

Has anyone been finding it hard to find stick deodorant? None available in my local Boots or Sainsburys- is there some deodorant shortage I haven’t read about?

Wilkos sell several different stick deodorants and last time I was there they had plenty.

I’ve noticed this too.

And I literally can’t understand how people use roll-on. Do you wander around with your arms up waiting for it to dry before you get dressed? Or blow-dry your armpits? Or just put clothes on top of the wet stickiness?! Don’t get it!

I hope not! We're not allowed to wear spray deodorant in work, I'll be absolutely stinking!

I buy packs of 6 on Amazon.

I use Secret stick deodorant, invisible solid powder fresh, it’s the only one that works for me, haven’t been able to buy it in this country for 10+ years so I used to buy it on eBay shipped from America, now Amazon have it, so I buy it from there also shipped from America and then resold on there. From looking at my order history, a box of 5s ticks lasts me 16 ish months and costs about £24.

Ha, I thought that when I went shopping yesterday! I hate the roll ons, too sticky. No dove/nivea/sure solid ones to be had.

No I find it dries instantly, either that or I don't worry about it going on clothes. The only time I've ever noticed it was on a little black dress - so not exactly a daily issue! And even then it sponged off in seconds, no drama. I can't believe people even bother waiting for deodorant to dry, why would you? I wouldn't bother with a spray, I only need it on my armpits and it's much easier to direct where I'm putting it. Plus aerosols make me sneeze and cough.

If you're not looking for a particular brand, TK Maxx usually has stick deodorant (mostly "natural" brands so more likely to be deodorant than antiperspirant)

Just went to add to my Tesco order and whilst there are some showing, they are now £4-£5!

Not noticed any shortage but watch out for Sanex changing to a deodorant rather than antiperspirant.

Yes! I got caught out by this!

I bought what I thought was a new scent of Sanex and noticed that it wasn't nearly as effective. When I checked the small print, it has no antiperspirant - I threw it away and bought Sure instead. It should have been mucy clearer.

I've been using the dove stick forever and gutted to have had to try a different kind of dove stick cream thing. Hope my old one returns. Wish they would do refills though. X

Mitchum stick is awesome. Hate sprays and icky wet roll ons!

Another vote for Wild, especially now it’s in Sainsbury’s! Refills are compostable so zero waste. Quite spendy but not if you bulk buy when it’s on sale.

I work for a beauty company. There is a shortage of some of the mechanisms for them and shipping on them has become almost impossible. Hope that helps 🙂

I was going to post this the other day as cannot get them anywhere, having tried multiple supermarkets and chemists.

I usually buy mine from Savers but I had noticed the choice has got a lot smaller and I've only been able to get Nivea which I'm not so keen on.
Like others I get sore with aerosols and I can't stand the wetness of roll ons.

I thought it was just me. I use the dove stick and haven't seen it anywhere so have had to get standard roll on, which is a bit sticky until dry but I actually think is more effective.

I flap like a chicken and sometimes blast with the hairdryer!

I've had the same problem - usually get Dove but had to buy a Sure one. OMG though - it smells amazing, like holidays.

I've switched to Wild and love it, went away for a couple days and forgot to pack it and there was one choice of stick deodorants among the hundreds of roll ons and sprays.

It's actually cheaper to buy it from boots than from their own site! Less choice though, I really want to try the rhubarb and raspberry scent.

It's gone to the USA apparently. I was there recently and ran out of roll-on antiperspirant. Tried several different shops all with row upon row of stick and the occasional aerosol spray, but no roll-on at all. Finally found a place that had something called "Ban" in unscented and baby powder flavours - but only in a 102 ml size, so just a fraction too big to carry on my flight...

Yes I noticed a shortage in Tesco. Ended up buying Mitchum Natural Power stick, which is just a deodorant, aluminium free but has bamboo powder and it does seem to work - keeps me dry even though it’s not supposed to be an antiperspirant.

Wild costs a stupid amount of money. Hardly more sustainable when they sent 1000s to "influencers" to promote who use it once for an ad and then probably throw it away.

I thought it was just me! I keep an eye out for Dove Invisible stick when I'm in Home Bargains etc, but not seen any for ages. Might have to use Amazon at this rate.
