Keanie Bean Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 My husband and I both discovered Pit Rok last July, I found it left me a bit smelly so went back to plain roll on ( of which I'm not proud), but hubby still uses his and its not even half used up. I was just wondering if any one else uses it and what your experiences with it are. Sarah.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I used a crystal deodrant for a bit but didn't get on with it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I got my 9 year old daughter using it for a while but she wanted scented things like her sister so we are still battling over it. It seemed to work reasonably well for her and I have had a go a couple of times and it has been fine, but I don't think it would work in any situation where you were likely to perspire a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I had a pitrock spray for a while but it clogged up Now I use an organic herb-scented roll-on from the healthfood shop (Avalon, I think the brand is) - works OK for me, but then I don't sweat much...

ali-s Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have been using an organic, no parabens, perfume, alcohol or aluminium roll on deodorant from "Greenpeople" for 3 weeks. I work in a hot, sweaty kitchen for 7 hours a day and am pleased to say I am not at all sweaty or smelly. The deodorant has a lovely Rosemary scent. One minus point I have found though is that the deodorant stings for a few minutes in the morning if I have shaved my armpits the night before. Chickencam I found a website which sells deodorants and toiletries for young people. I need to order some things for my Daughter. I will go and find the site in a mo. If I do it now I will lose this message as I am not very good with computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The site is www.mypure.co.uk They have a special section for young people - shampoos, cleansers etc. The deodorants are in the "my body" section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 That's a nice site Ali - thank you! We have crystal deodorants - I find they are mostly OK but mine won't cope when I go to the gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pelicano Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Strangely, I found Pitrok irritated the skin under my arm, more so than conventional chemically old anti perspirant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisnrob Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have been using an organic, no parabens, perfume, alcohol or aluminium roll on deodorant from "Greenpeople" for 3 weeks. We've been using the men's version from Greenpeople for a week now! We used PitRok previously but found that recently it seemed to have stopped working as well as it had been One minus point I have found though is that the deodorant stings for a few minutes in the morning if I have shaved my armpits the night before. We have noticed the same and we don't shave our armpits The one we've got contains mint so I think that's what makes it feel cool/sting. Sometimes it actually feels quite...ummm....wet! Closer inspection reveals that it's all dry so it must be one of those odd sensations! It only lasts a few minutes though... Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I used it when I was breast feeding, but it doesn't really work for mr My parents have been using it for years now, they think it's great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Just caught up with this thread. I have been using Pitrok for about 12 years, I think it's great stuff, although tbh I am not a 'sweaty' person I was at a car boot sale a few years ago and someone was selling them for 50p each I bought the entire stock, I love a bargain Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanie Bean Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 That is a bargain! . They are about £5 - £6 each in our Sainsburies, and you must have enogh to last you years! Sarah.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Try good old bicarb of soda, baking stuff it's finer. Works Very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I have found crystal deo fine but am lucky not to be particularly sweaty in first place - not sure how well it would work for someone who is. Intrigued by your suggestion of bicarb of soda AJDuff, I find bicarb has a million and one uses, it truely is amazing - will need to give it a go as you suggest.

Spike-J Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm quite a sweaty person and haven't tried the crystal deo as I hadn't heard good reports of them. Have tried the green people one which I like the days I'm not at work- you still sweat but it doesn't smell too bad... ok for a day at home but not wet armpits and risk of smell not acceptable at work!! It may be a silly question but how do you use the soda bic?? do you make a paste or rub it on dry...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I rub it on dry. I take it to work in a tub and refresh at lunch time. It can stop a hot flush and nasty smells in seconds! I've used it for over a year now and I wouldn't use anything else now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbb Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I use the spray and it works really well for me. Wouldn't use anything else now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
