Mix it up with your current favorite.

Try it.

As in use a different one each day. Use the "good smelling" one when it matters.

I wonder if you could just mush them together with a putty knife (the good smelling girly one with the works great guy stuff), then squish it all back in the original D.O. packaging. . . I'm going to try this!

I don't think that will work

You body adjusts to everything, be it deodorant, shampoo or prescription drugs.

Try it.

Try SJfromNJ's too!

Smelly armpits are not to be taken lightly. I've even lifted my arm and asked Crash to take a whiff. AND HE DOES! And tells me if I'm stinky or not. Now that's love! Or maybe he doesn't want to be walking around with his stinky wife!

Deb...please feel free to verify the power of lady speed stick with Jayseadee. Afterall, we did share a room!

Bev, I'm sure you are not stinky..........I just have a problem with my deodorant working at some times and not another. I didn't think this was a terribly offinsive topic, so here I go..........letting my big mouth get the best of me. I just want to find the best DO, that works in the hot, sticky, islands.

OK...my for real might be a little different than others.

I used to swear by "Dry Idea" Roll-on....always kept me fresh and dry. But then my world changed when I got breast cancer and I decided that it was smart to think about what I smeared on my body...so I began using a paraben/ Aluminum chlorohydrate free product called Crystal and it is the best product for me...and I can't imagine ever accepting a product that still allowed me to "stink"! It is a deoderant , not an antiperspirant...there is a difference.

I can honestly tell you that it is an even better product than my old "dry idea" and it lasts a long time!

Try it! I can find it in my grocery store now...

I'm always looking for "something that works better"!!
And, I can be stinky.... It comes with menopause along with growing a moustache!! YIPPEE!

You are so sweet. OK, Ill buy your darn DO. You are so funny!

I stopped wearing deodorant daily years ago because of the chemicals on the body thing (used to wear Sure Unscented Solid and still do every once in a while.) I've also used the anti bacterial hand gel trick, and it does work. Got mine from Bath & Body Works in the travel size - you might want to give it a try.

That anti bacterial idea makes perfect sense. I'll give that a try.

Thanks guys!
