Just wanted to let you know that i finally brought a trial stize of one of these and have been using it for the last week or so... and it has been great.
on tues i was sweating heaps, walking up a hill, pushing toby and carrying gabriel (all 15 kg of him) in the hot sun... that night when i got home i made hubby smell me to check me out, and he said you could barely smell anything. i didnt feel stinky too which is a plus. so another reusable product for me...  ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

its a crystal that you use instead of deodorants...it inhibits the bacterial growth so you dont smell, instead of covering it up or blocking your pores.
I got it from http://www.greenbeans.co.nz/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=202&products_id=642 - greenbeans . ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I've heard of them and seen them but never used one. Must get one for Willie - I swear he must EAT deoderant the way he goes thru it. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Is it the one in the clear container with blue writing? can't remember what it was called, DP got one from Commonsense Organics.. it didn't help with the smell!! lol.. if it's a different one, then might be worth a try!
I might get one too, I don't like using aluminium based deodorants.. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

They do last for ages. It's kinda like a giant piece of rock salt - same sort of look. I must get one again (been ages since I've used one), I don't like using aluminium-based deoderants either. And I like non-scented stuff too. If you try one and it doesn't work straight away, give it a week or so anyway, as sometimes our bodies need to adjust ------------- Andie |

| So do you actually rub it under your arm like a 'normal' roll on deodorant at the beginning of the day as per usual? Or do you wait til you start sweating then use it? |

roll it on just like a normal one - i found it best to rub it on just after my shower so i dont have to wet the stone. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I've been using one for quite a few years now - they are great. Sometimes I find I still get a bit sweaty in the height of summer, but not to the point of 'stinky' (sorry TMI!)
I have a DOVE brand 'backup' in the cupboard, but last time I used it, I ended up washing it off cos I couldn't stand the smell (unscented??) or the feel! ------------- Selina http://lilypie.com">
