Where did all the stick deodorant go??

[SuspiciousDuck]

Boots, supermarkets etc all sold out apart from maybe some Mitchum for £££.

I could buy a lifetime’s supply of roll-on or spray but no stick!

Am I just unlucky? or is this some bizarre supply chain anomaly

Been going on for ages. Thank Putin (most stick deo manufactured in Russia)

Yesssssss I've found same too. It's so annoying. I would give my eye teeth for a sure deo stick. All I've managed to find for months is roll ons or the odd nivea stick. Putin is the pits.

Is it really made in Russia!? I had no idea.

I guess I need to resign myself to rolling on and doing the flappy chicken thing while waiting for it to dry. Sigh.

Ha not just me. I haven't seen a Mitcham roll on in the stores for weeks now. And I've looked in Sainsburys, Waitrose and a big Boots.

Can’t you just use the sprays? I’ve never used roll on can’t stand it

I use a cream antiperspirant so don't have to wait for it to dry

That is bizarre. Russia being the hub of stick deo manufacturing. Really!?

It’s been awol for months. I bought a 6 pack from Amazon when I realised there were none to be seen anywhere, but even the price of those has shot up now.

Try places like Poundland or Home Bargains as they sometimes have older bulk stock to shift.

Same. I've ended up with a gel/cream push up that has to dry. I don't have time to waft around waiting.

Nivea stick back in stock on Superdrug online as of today. Just bulk ordered as god knows when it’ll be available next!

Because sprays are vile, IME. I don't want to breathe in antiperspirant.

Yes I don’t like spray either. And the cream one I’m using now seems to leave my skin sticky even after I wash.

Good tip re Superdrug though - I will take a look!

Have you looked online? I think wild do stick deodorant.

I use Wild stick deodorant and it’s great, and eco-friendly.

I recently bought some Sure from pak cosmetics nearly £9 for two delivered 🤦‍♀️ Then two weeks later got some on my Tesco delivery as well

Have a look at Fussy.

Ocado has dove sticks. I bought a few a while back when I saw somebody on here say they were getting hard to find, but they are still available

Wild! It's lovely, smells really nice and works as well as Mitchum (and I'm sweaty).

Refills come as often as you need, I get 6 every 2 months and never ran out.

Went awol several months ago.
The other thread says it is because they were made in Russia.
Do seem to be reappearing over the las couple of weeks - I presume they must have moved production elsewhere.

Manufacturing of Sure and Dove has been moved to Italy but it just seems to be taking time to filter through into the shops.

I thought it was just me!! I didn't realise it was actually a 'thing' that there's a shortage. I did however buy a nivea stick in Boots at the weekend £2.50

Sorry to butt in .
Can anyone tell me if the Wild sandalwood and patchouli actually smells of patchouli, I am an old hippy and none of the natural deodorants I have tried so far have more than a faint whiff of patchouli.

Know it‘a not a popular smell on here but it’s the smell of my youth and as I don’t have any friends anyway I’m not going to alienate anyone with my aroma 😀

Does it work for you? I found I smelt at the end of the day and had to apply it several times whereas other natural stick deodorants work great for me usually!

@SuspiciousDuck

its to do with the long chain carbon fatty ingredients being short

@megletthesecond a quick blast with the hairdryer in cool setting stops you having to waft about waiting on it to dry.

Someone needs to take over the manufacturing of stick deodorant the only one in shops is the Mitchum bamboo one and that makes your clothes reek if you get even the slightest bit sweaty.
