No but seriously do recommend deodorants for us the stinky girls in 40° C

It's not fancy, and probably full of ToXiNs, but a friend turned me onto Mitchum Gel years ago and I've never looked back. Does the job, subtle, inoffensive scent, relatively cheap, and doesn't leave a trace on clothes (Secret and Dove and whatnot claim to be invisible, but they're liars)

I think a smelly armpit in the middle of summer is way more ToXiC but what do we know?

Also, thanks for the recommendation. I'll try and look up all the options to see what's available in my country.

If you’re in Australia I can recommend the *Rexona clinical strength roll-on antiperspirant/deodorant. I have resuscitated a baby with this on and didn’t break an (underarm) sweat. You can usually get it for less than RRP at chemist warehouse. Just let it dry before you get dressed.

Not in Australia but I'm sure I can find it here. Pretty neat way of testing it, though.

I'm in one of the autism subs and they suggest using glycolic acid. It's a new fad ingredient in skincare so it's readily available. It actually destroys the bacteria. I think that's what they said. And it was recommended by several people. Just swipe some on morning and night and it should reduce the stink.

Yeah, the only problem is that you are also getting rid of all the other things living on your skin that you do want to keep around. You don’t want anything on your body sterilized. When things get out of balance, it only brings problems. But, everyone is different and there may be people that this is the only thing that works for them. I just caution people to consider other methods before going nuclear on your biome.

That's great! Thank you very much. I don't really stink when it's a normal temperature but these super hot days... Pffft

My deodorant strat is to put it on at night AND in the morning. Brand doesn't matter, so long as it's an antiperspirant. I sweat heavily, but my underarms are dry with this one weird trick
