Wet stick, shake off excess water and apply after shower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[B108/100ml] 250ml Sure (UK brand for Rexona) in the UK is £1.99 / B 88... [B34/100ml] The deodorant in Thailand is 3x more expensive and I go through a lot as I do plenty of sport and shower 2-3 times on most days.. I bring about 10 tins back with me from the UK on each visit. Recently I switched to using the womens Rexona simply because I'm cheap and object to paying more for the mens one for ultimately the same product. Worthy of a thread: Hardly, but the additional expense of deodorant here is something that has always struck me as strange, particularly for a very warm and humid nation. Personally I find it quite offensive those people who stink out the changing rooms with their ‘deodorant’ sprays. Perspiring is normal. It’s the bacteria that raise a stink. So just eliminate the bacteria; don’t stink the place out with your perfumes ???? 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HandsomeTallFarang Posted August 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) Anti perspiration products cause cancer. It Uses aluminum or something to prevent sweating by blocking sweat ducts I believe. It's not good for your body. Also some brands of these roll on sticks are possibly endocrine disruptors, although more research is needed there.. but the cancer / illness link to aluminum based anti-perspirant sticks is well established Regular deodorant is fine. If you sweat so much, consider slimming down. Edited August 6, 2023 by HandsomeTallFarang 4 3 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanongCat Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) deodorants make more need for deodorants. Easy to dust armpit with bicarbonate of soda. For parfum buy a nice one. Or not. Bicarb works real. And no aluminium (Aluminum for a few ) Edited August 6, 2023 by RanongCat Extra extra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemingly it is no longer going to be available. I would be interested to hear from others, as to what their preferences are, ideally ones that work and don 't cost a lot. Nivea for men silver protect. It's pretty good as far as stopping sweat or smell. It doesn't leave masses of residue on clothes, but it can have a build up over time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just not want to believe that there are anti-perspirant sticks that are harmful? Go research it yourself, dummy. Your entire world view regarding anti-perspirant sticks got shattered and now you're going through the stages of grief, and right now you are in denial. You are in denial that countless peer researched studies exist that show that aluminum based sticks should be avoided forever.

The aluminum based ones though need to be avoided. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Myran Posted August 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2023 1 hour ago, BangkokHank said: I can recommend one that you SHOULDN'T buy: https://www.deoklear.com This Thai stick deodorant is the first deodorant that I have ever bought that simply cannot be applied. It's just a solid block of something that just doesn't go on. They really need to rework their formula. That's alum and it works amazingly well (coming from someone who stinks like an Indian curry shop). You need to wet it before applying (or apply to a wet armpit). It's pretty much the only deodorant I've found that actually works for me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinnock Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I prefer deodorant only to antiperspirant .... I think trying to stop sweat is a challenge in Thailand (and possibly inadvisable?), but stopping odour is my key aim. Boots currently have a clearance offer on Ted Baker deodorant.

Lacessit Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 4 hours ago, KhunLA said: EXIT Ultra Blue about half the price of Nivea and works as good or better. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if they came out of the same production line. Deodorant should be applied in the evening, after shower/before sleep, in case you didn't know. Why? I use deodorant after showering in the morning. I would have thought it's preferable to avoid being smelly during the day. In any case, people do a lot of farting while they sleep, which tends to defeat the purpose of deodorant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementia Stick ? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-lm&q=Baking+soda+as+a+antiodorant The hypothesis aluminium is linked to dementia has been discredited quite some time ago. The most recent observations of the brains of deceased dementia patients indicate magnesium deficiency. The aluminium hypothesis arose out of sample contamination, when an aluminium microtome blade was used to prepare brain schists for spectroscopic analysis. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
