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 🤷

Didn't know how else to describe it, I suppose it's a sort of N shape, if that helps?!

I can't believe I'm lying in bed mimicking putting deodorant on to work out what I do! I think 3 up and down in a zigzag, but not sure if I've now confused myself. I am super paranoid about smell though as I do get whiffy quickly.

Shall we park it for now and report back tomorrow, after we’ve performed our ablutions and had a chance to reflect?

Yes. Can’t wait til morning. What a time to be alive!

i also had to do a private mime.

I’ve just had a look at that posh hotel thread, I might give the OP a call in the morning, early ish, to see if she wants to join our thread.

I always do at least six. Sometimes ten if I know I'm going to be really active!

I feel a bit like a weirdo now, but also am a bit aghast at circles rather than swipes.

I definitely go up and down, about 13857393 times !
Dh has massive armpits so he basically uses a whole roll on per pit

3 usually - I use to like the rose deodorant from M&S but when it became harder to find I turned to the cotton one from Aldi which is surprisingly good - smells nice and does a very good job

I've just mimed the action 4 in a zig zag motion Mitchum Powder fresh!

You psychopath

An even bigger psychopath

Can confirm, using right hand for both pits: up-down-up on right pit, down-up-down on left pit.

You mean you don't fashion an attachment for a black and decker drill and just give each pit a quick 3 second blast on hammer action?

It's the only way really..

I use a cream one that clicks up so 3-4 clicks
It says 2 but that must be for tiny armpits
