Spray or roll-on deodorant?

[Bryd0]

What kind of deodorant do you prefer to keep yourself fresh for the day? For me, I use roll-on as spray deodorants cause irritation to my armpits. Although, I can use it to spray all over my body and even over my clothes.

I use roll-on as I don't like the aerosol fumes from the spray.

I prefer not to clog my pores with heavy metal compounds (antiperspirants) nor to coat my underarms with other bio-reactive chemicals.

By using homemade soap made without adding a chemistry book to it, the bacteria under my arms is controlled well enough that when I do sweat, I don't smell too bad.

Interesting. Who makes the homemade soap?

My wife.

This is one of the sites she uses for the recipe:

The answer:

"Teresa:‎ Both coconut oil and olive oil. And some times lard and a little grapesees oil for extra moisturizing. You can make good soap with just lard, lye, and water. Or just olive oil, lye, and water. But that one is a little more tricky.
Palm oil on the mix gives you a nice, hard bar of soap with a good lather, but I've never used it. I would have to order it and haven't done that yet."

Thank you very much Doc. I like the idea of the coconut oil. I give your wife a lot of credit for being able to make her own soap. I don't think I would be able to do it.

She's been making our bath soap and laundry soap for a few years now.

With the laundry soap, the clothes look and smell better (no long lasting chemicals clinging to them to 'smell good'), and the don't stain as easy, and when you do get something on your shirt, it comes out easier.

That's wonderful. You must save a lot of money not having to buy bath and laundry soap. I know even when the laundry soap is "supposedly" on sale, it's very expensive.

I'm not sure about saving money, but it has made a difference in other ways, and we have found those differences worthwhile.

Roll on. I hate they spray crap. No way.

 

[JetWing34]

I use the roll-on deodorant sticks any day of the week.

Roll-on. Used to use sprays in the past.
