The Dogmother Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Well, I got looking at these after the recent publicity about aluminium in deodorants being the possible cause of all-things-nasty. Even more so now that Rosie is coming up to an age when she'll be needing one too. Now, my deodorants need to be heavy duty - not that I smell or anything - but I work out quite intensively at least a couple of times a week, so they need to be able to make the grade. I bought one of these the other day http://www.ecotime.co.uk/show_category.asp?cid=1486 and it works a treat, even through a heavy circuit training session. I can recommend them highly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Nice timing - I have been trying to source safer deodourants for me & mine this week. Those look nice. I might give one a go. Which scent did you try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Well, I sniffed them all in the shop, because I don't like my deodorants to smell of much, and ended up with the rose and honeysuckle, which sounds like it ought to be sickly, but is just a nice fresh sort of scent. I got mine in a health food store in Stratford, so you might find them locally to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Yes, I was worried it would smell too sweet, but I think I shall give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 I don't think it's sickly at all, in fact none of them had a strong smell. I'd be interested to hear what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Are they antiperspirant as well Clare? I only wear antiperspirant for work as I tend to perspire a lot because I am an anxious sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm not sure Claire, but I'm not sweating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 That's a coincidence I bought one of the solid crystal type deodorants the other day to try, and up to now have found it really good It's not an antiperspirant, and I guess the cooler weather helps, but it is working a treat or at least I hope it is karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
