What type of deodorants do we all use then, especially seeing as I was under the impression that most high street brands are now paraben free I was shocked to find out that this wasn't the case

Snap!!

Hate the stuff, don't use it...

have you voted Mrs ?

Yup! I put nooooooooooooooo!!

OOOoooooooo do you mean Becs???

oh come on Del be bold answer your own question

its not a case of beiing bold Wards, I've voted but when I receive my parcel from Green People I will be using a rock crystal

what for ??? A barometer which swings and then helps you to make a decision or you use it instead of deodorant

Don't know much about crystals me

gotcher Del What's her name was on about those on Steve Wright in the Afternoon - er um Janey Lee Grace. Swears by em she does

Bet there is a "decision making" crystal though

guaranteed to be one Wards

you can buy crystals Del from Kernowcraft in Cornwall (might be a bit cheaper). They sell all manner of semi precious stones etc. They're a small business and I got quite a lot of stuff from them for making jewellery. I made some jade earrings for my niece's wedding and they matched me the stones up so I'd recommend em

I know that anti persperants are not advisable but I do not like sticky pits either, the rest of body is free to glow - ( horses sweat, men perspire and ladies merely glow), so surely a few square inches under you arms isn't going to have that much effect on yours bodies effort to keep cool.
On a different tangent I have read that you can have botox injections into your armpits to stop you sweating - a bit extreme don't you think

Personal preference I guess....

To me, there is nothing more attractive than clean natural odours... hate fake smells... don't wear perfume either.. I glow all over the place..

I'm a none

a) too many reports about it being linked to breast cancer
b) mother has had breast cancer which raises my chances anyway
c) I don't sweat unless it's stupidly hot. My office's 25C, and I'm wearing a fleece and my hands are cold. Go figure.

Is the solid stuff roll on or other

Anyway that's what I use.

The other thing to consider is .... do you drink enough water?

Quite simply you can dilute the smell !!

If what comes out of you looks like tea ... then understand why your friends choose to stand upwind of you !!

Mine is called a Crystal Stick Deodorant - not sure whether that makes it a rock crystal or a roll-on crystal but I voted for roll-on crystal.

I also have one of these:

- which is OK in the winter but not as good if it's sweaty weather The crystal one works all year round!

And I drink at least 4 pints of mineral water every day, Flo, honest (plus herbal teas & fruit juice) - that's more than enough!

mmm interesting link ... learnt something already ... was reading the recipe bit ... red rice

You've lost me now (easily done ) - didn't even know they had a recipe bit (I don't do recipes - don't do cooking ) - what's red rice?

that's what I thought!!!

Where does it mention red rice ?
IF it's the Sri Lankan one it's really nice. Looks like pink pudding rice and tastes a bit like brown rice but not as soapy. Dont knoow if you can buy it in asian stores unless they are specifically Sri Lankan.

..and has to be alcohol and most most things free or I come out in avery nasty red rash!

Does that mean you can't have a dram then Icy
