Deodorant - how do you use yours?!

[ClearlyMoo]

I've just realised that I might be applying deodorant in an odd way - I've been doing this for over two decades and I'm wondering if it's actually counter productive!

You're probably all wondering what I'm on about!

So I use ROLL ON and AEROSOL deodorant. Belt and braces is what I've always thought.

This started as a young teen paranoid about "BO"!

I put the roll on on, and then before it's dry spray aerosol deodorant in the same place!

Do you think the aerosol is doing anything?

I know it sounds REALLY odd and I feel like a right plonker now I've thought about it..

What should I do?!

Is one of aerosol or roll on more efficient

Have I been spending double the money I needed to all these years?!

I wonder if when I started doing it I used the "stick" type of roll on which doesn't need to dry or flapped my arms around a bit to let roll on dry.

My DH is very anti aerosols so I suppose really I should just use roll on if it were to be one or the other.. He doesn't like me "polluting the air" with sprays.

Since having DD I also now use a strong 24hr cream anti perspirant at night before going to bed but still use my "normal" deos in the morning. So actually that's three different types.

Really interested to know what everyone else does.

sits back and waits for MN to inform (and hopefully not flame!)!

But someone shouldn't be ridiculed for saying something that is true. Pinkfrocks was wrong.

I'm not sure what is meant by toxins . If toxic is as toxic does, then could anything that the body excretes could become toxic if it were allowed to build up? Including pure water which is not in itself a toxin?

Also I thought that the worries about deodorant safety were more about what was being applied to the body getting into the bloodstream. I could well be wrong though.

The OP isn't by the sounds of it applying all this because she has a problem with odour or excessive sweating - it has been a habit for so long that she may well find going without 'extreme deodorising' (to coin a phrase ) makes no difference to her feeling and smelling fresh and clean. It would be cheaper too.

Temporaryusername you are right - it's habit with addition of the 48hr one at night as that's when the instruction said to apply.

Today I've applied only the 48hr one in the morning post shower. All good so far.

Someone said antiperspirants don't block pores?

That is another thing.

Pinkfrocks may have been wrong to ridicule someone, but not to point out that what they said was wrong.

Sweat is not for excretion, but for regulation of body temperature. The water produced is salty because otherwise salt concentration would increase, given that water is being lost. So, water cannot be considered a toxin even where sweat is concerned.

Water isn't the toxin. Some toxins are excreted through sweat as I said below mercury. This isn't the function of sweating but it does happen.
It isn't irrelevant don't be a dick to someone when you aren't even right.

I wasn't going to come back to this but I'm a bit surprised at how itsbetter wants to keep the antagonism going- looks like wanting a fight, TBH. This is not the AIBU forum.
It's not ridiculing someone to call them 'love' ( and please don't talk to me as if I'm a toddler by saying 'you have been told numerous times not to do this')
The word 'love' can be said in many ways and it was meant to be friendly, not sarcastic or patronising. The point with putting words in writing is that you can't hear the tone. Same goes for saying someone should brush up on their biology.
And that's all from me on this one.

Very finally to stop all the arguing :)
