How many swipes with a stick deodorant?

[FormerlySpeckledyHen]

Strange question I know, but how many swipes do you do? I never know if I’m doing to few or too many! 8 is my favourite number so that’s what I do 🤷

3 long swipes, outer, middle, inner

Three here.

3

How large are your armpits OP to require 8 swipes? Do you have OCD, hence the NEED to do it 8 times? 🤔

I'd do 2 normally, 3 at most!

I probably do about 5 or 6 🫣. I have no idea why so many. Fear of smelling I guess!

Stupid thing is if I’m wearing a black top that I really like, I kind of pat a bit off as well with a tissue, to avoid the white dust on the top. Madness.

Looks like I need to cut back 😂
Has to be an even number though, so I’ll start with 4.

It's like seasoning food.
The ancestors let me know when enough is enough.

I’m guessing petite, like the rest of me!

I go down the outside edge, up the middle, down the inside edge.

I do circles not swipes!

I do a sort of thorough scribble. Not getting out of bed to test the theory but suspect it’s 3-4 short strokes.

8 is a bit bonkers imho but I’m so alarmed by the aggressive hotel thread that it’s nice to discuss something trivial. Thanks for bringing to our attention OP 😂

YEP😂 I usually do between 6-8 strokes or probably more tbh

Really?? I only do two, up and down and good to go!

Three. Up down up. Confused by the concept of outers/edges though, do some people have big armpits or tiny deodorants?

3 swipes - and I need to put 2 more on the ocado shop....one for me and one for my daughter. I have just opened a Mitchum one, not tried these before. Usually go for dove or sure.

Very original thread!

Three here.

Three - and I always feel one or maybe 2 would be enough - but I just can't help myself.

No idea. 5 or 6 at a guess.

I didn't know people did swipes! I roll around in a circle. Maybe two rolls round.

Ooooh! I go down up down! No edges here either.

any chance you can link to this aggressive hotel thread?!? Please!

I treat it like Pritt Stick and aim for even, gap-free, non-overlapping coverage.

I do a circle with a vertical line through the middle, so sort of 3 swipes but connected

I can’t wait for the morning to try a scribble. I would have to count that as 1.
