Where is all the Mitchum roll on?

I guess this is more of a general hygiene than a Beauty thing, but is anyone else having trouble finding Mitchum deodorant right now?
The shelves in Superdrug and Boots local to me (London) are bare.

It's my go-to, I had to but Dove instead and it's useless.

I found Mitchum unfragranced roll on, on Amazon at £3 a go, this afternoon, so I’ve ordered 3. The shelves seem to be nigh empty of most Mitchum products.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 04/11/2022 19:00

Here.

WeAreTheHeroes · 04/11/2022 19:04

That's got a delivery date of early December! I struggled to get some in late September, but found it on offer in the local Co op.

shinynewapple22 · 04/11/2022 19:09

I think it's all in my cupboard.

I had it on my 'favourites' list for my online shop and bought one several weeks running .

Sorry Blush

FancyFelix · 04/11/2022 19:13

They have it in the bodycare in the arndale in Manchester. I bought some today

Camdenish · 04/11/2022 19:58

Argh, I don’t know why I didn’t clock the delivery date. In other words it’s not actually in stock. Ah well, if this carries on I’ll switch brand. I’ve looked at NUDD. It I like my deodorants to be as unnatural and rolls ony as possible. I’ll switch to Mum if it comes to it.

my teenage DD tried about twenty types of deodorant when she started using them. She settled on the Soft & Gentle patchouli and lavender roll on. It’s no longer made so I’ve bulked bought whenever I see it and have enough for a few years.

True - I’m going to get some Mum unfragranced, to tide me over.

Hilly222 · 04/11/2022 20:50

I was struggling to find it and I’ve used it for years so was feeling desperate. It’s on offer at Boots (£2). You can use the Boots website to find which (if any) of your local stores have it in stock. I now have enough to last a very long time!

Fixesplease · 04/11/2022 20:54

Haven't RTFT , however don't bother with the 'new' bamboo one.. I found the last deodorant on the shelf and it was rubbish!
Mitchum has been my go to for years but the Bamboo one sucks.

I wonder if they have changed the ingredients or something.

Motherofalegend · 04/11/2022 21:03

Me too! Ended up buying the spray, which is nowhere near as good.

isthismylifenow · 05/11/2022 06:12

Urgh this shortage is filtering through to other countries as well now.

I posted upthread that a good alternative is Old Spice stick which my dd uses. I have to retract that now ffs, and it no longer is. They used to make the stick which was white. Now they have changed the formulation (ffs just why) and now they stick is blue. It is not the same as all and my dd is once again sporting an underarm rash of note. This is the 2nd blue one as we thought the scent of the first one gave her the rash. Nope, it's the new formulation and so now our mission to to find old stocks of the white stick.

The problem is I can't buy online as we can't check the colour of the stick. We have scoured almost every pharmacy nearby and sourced a whole TWO of the white, so the mission is not close to complete.

It had taken years to find the one. I think we have been through more deo in this house than a deo tester. And now they change the bloody formulation to some shit that burns armpits. Not even Mitchum works very well for her but that is getting scarce here too. Thanks to this thread I've ve stocked up for ds who is a Mitchum fan...

If Mitchum appears on the shelves again but with a blue stick, it won't be the same. Old Spice, we are cursing you!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 07/11/2022 19:22

A quick update - the Amazon listing for the Mitchum I ordered gave a projected delivery date of end of November/early December - but they turned up today!

Camdenish · 07/11/2022 19:25

Oh yes SDT mine turned up
yesterday. Sorry I forgot to update.

shivermetimbers77 · 07/11/2022 19:25

I noticed there is lots of spray on Mitchum but hardly any roll on. Weird!

iamme21 · 07/11/2022 19:28

I also ordered 3 from Amazon with a delivery date at the end of November - they have just arrived!

Theraffarian · 09/11/2022 17:17

Ordered some from savers online . Postage is a pain at £4 a parcel but had other things to order . £1.09 a 50ml bottle and they had the mens and powder fresh . Max of 6 bottles per fragrance . Still none actually in store though .

I emailed the makers as I haven't been able to get the roll-on for weeks. They didn't really answer me properly but did say it was down to production issues and then listed the places where I can get it (I can't). I had read somewhere online that it is made in Russia..........

I have used it for years and it is the only thing that doesn't irritate my armpits so it is very sad to not be able to get any.

I did look on Amazon but I am not prepared to pay those prices.

I will have a look on Savers though and try Amazon again in case prices have dropped since I looked.

Flappyjacks · 09/11/2022 17:58

I found the tiny one on Medino for the rip off price of £2.14. Needs must I suppose.

PeekAtYou · 09/11/2022 18:07

Just ordered some from Amazon. Flower fresh was expensive but the other fragrances and non-fragranced were £3 or £3.26 with delivery tomorrow

warofthemonstertrucks · 09/11/2022 20:01

Bonanza! I got three (the last three) in Tesco extra today!

Camdenish · 09/11/2022 20:13

Superdrug had half a dozen in today but only the fragranced ones.

ChocolatemilkBertie · 09/11/2022 20:19

oh my word I absolutely rely on this (hardly any other deodorants seem to work on me) and it’s been a nightmare! Haven’t seen it for weeks, when I finally lay me eyes on it I’ll buy the lot!

Valkirie · 09/11/2022 20:30

Thanks for all the updates! I’ve just ordered some from Amazon thanks to the link up thread. I’d sent a message to Mitchum weeks ago asking when the supply availability issues would be resolved as I wanted to know whether it was worth my while buying some massively overpriced stock from Amazon. It then took ages for them to reply, with a generic email that didn’t actually answer my question:

“We are still producing and shipping Mitchum Anti-Perspirant and Deodorant.
Like many other companies, we have been focused on the global supply chain challenges that continue to impact both our business and the broader macro environment.
Specifically, we are seeing pricing pressure and shortages on key ingredients and components, logistics challenges across all modes of transportation, and persistent labor shortages.
We are taking the appropriate steps to address these issues, and will continue to dynamically manage our business until the situation stabilizes.
Our products are available at major retail stores and online at www.amazon.com “
