antiperspirant deodorant, sensitive groin area

[THAIPHUKET]

Any experience?  

What is available in TH-CM?

Any reliable Thai product?

Tried to get Eurecin sensitive skin deodorant, no luck

[Ahab]

I am not an expert on using that type of product anywhere on my body besides under my arms. I have never heard of anyone trying to use it in a sensitive "groin" area and that would probably not be recommended. Are you from Europe?

Have a look here, gov.au shouldnbe reliable source of info

I would suggest frequent baths/showers using an antibacterial shower soap like Dettol rather than trying to apply an anti-perspirant.

I went into a pharmacy and asked for some deodorant. The pharmacist asked 'ball or aerosol'? I said neither. It's for my arm-pits. Only joking

[Pdaz]

Maybe you should be asking for "under leg deodorant" rather than "under arm"

Are there any liquid soaps especially formulated cleaning the male groin area?  There are a number of products available for women don't have perfumes or other irritating ingredients and are pH balanced.  It would seem that a similar product would be good for men, too.

[THAIPHUKET]

NancyL. I'm sure you are right. Irrespective of differcence man vs woman in that location, the skin of the groins is samesame.
So yes it will work.

But in this climate groin sweating is normal. Perfect breeding ground for fungus.
A deodorant may be more convenient than than frequentiert washing. Quickly applied.
Perhaps I'll find the Eucerin sensitive skin deodorant.

I've found that a vigerous daily exfoliation of the more aromatic parts of the body helps a lot.  I use a stiff brush like this and a shampoo that has tea tree oil in it*.  Not only does it leave the areas in question feeling minty fresh, I find they take much longer to become un-fresh.  Sometimes I also do an alcohol swab of the arm pits after drying off, which I have found allows me to go without antiperspirant or deodorant for a good part of the day.  YMMV.

 

 

*Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo, which I brought with me from the states in a gallon jug.  Not sure what I'll use when that runs out.

Good idea. I spray some alcohol from a small spray bottle, let that dry a minute or so, then, if I'm going out, apply a natural deo powder of 50/50 (ratio adjustable) baking soda/corn starch, using a kabuki brush. Works very well, dirt cheap, scentless & non-staining. Can also be applied to groin area.

Attrayant. interesting ! If it protects you , fine. However, it's Contradictory to theory that this is not good for natural oil film on the skin

Applying vinegar with a cotton ball and letting it dry is also good, it deters fungal growrh. Ordinary cheap white vinegar is fine.

If you can't find the Paul Mitchell shampoo, you might try this.  I buy it at Tesco and use it in the shower because it lathers up so nicely:

 

 

It's not a shampoo, though I often use it as such.  (Hey, what can I say.  I'm a guy who used to use Dial soap as shampoo in my youth...)  It comes in different varieties.  I think that in addition to this chamomile extract version, there's a rose water one, and maybe others.

Wear 100% cotton underwear and jeans / slacks, not those with nylon / acrylic if possible.

I found this at Boots and have been using it the last few days. I have very sensitive groin skin due to maltreatment with Elomet Creme and the likes, causing a thinning of the skin=   corticosteroids.

 

FOCAL has been used for a week, so far the result is good,  no but no if.
