just wash yourself everyday and don't use any deodorant. It's shit and you will have cancer from it.

I started using this because the aluminum in antiperspirants were ruining my shirt pits. No stains with this deodorant and the smell is a pleasant citrus. There's also an unscented version. It's made with "natural" ingredients so that might help with your allergies as well

literally anything not labeled as "Antiperspirants." everything else is aluminum-free.

if you're looking for aluminum-free antiperspirants, that might be a little harder to come by.

also, check the catalog, there are already TWO smell threads: >>9998618 and, more relevant to you, >>10028622

All of the unscented deodorants in the womens section are also antiperperants.

Lime juice on your armpits will stop you from sweating. Wait until dry, then apply any deodorant over it.

This, I've used nothing but lemon on my pits for years and it works.

The acidity of the juice kills the odor-causing bacteria and the smell is barely noticeable, if you stick your nose right in there it'll only smell of lemons

shaving/trimming armpits will also help

don't put lemon on your pits on the same day that you shaved, if you don't know why then maybe you should try it

[Anonymous No.10039131]

either works, fresh lemon yields the best results though

[Anonymous No.10039505]

I've been using magnesium hydroxide aka "milk of magesia" as a deo. Best deo I've ever used.

I've always been somewhat skeptical of anti-perspirants. Not only have they never really worked (maybe because I live in a tropical country or I'm just retarded and never applied enough of it or something), but the idea of clogging something that isn't actually meant to be clogged always seemed an iffy practice for long term use.

Found that milk of magnesia, which is apparently used to treat constipation, is a great deo for combating BO.

I have no problem with sweat. Sweat is healthy. But the bacteria that eat said sweat and then excrete that BO smell? Yeah, that I can do without. Remove the bacteria that are the cause of BO and all's well.

I tried some suggestions I read online for just killing the bacteria like rubbing alcohol, but they didn't really work (and the alcohol wasn't exactly good for my sensitive underarm skin).

Found some people using this white stuff. It works. No smell, I sweat when I need to, but there's no smell at all. Allows for whatever colognes or eau de toilettes I use to actually smell through and not be mingled with and ruined by some cheapo deo brand smell.

For best results:
Wash the underarms first, obviously, should be doing this with whatever deo you use. Soap and water when you wash. Won't remove (all) the smell causing bacteria though, but helps.

Rub some of the milk right up in the armpit. If you haven't washed you'll need to use more, if you have just washed you can use less.

You should let it dry naturally, and this can be a prob for some of you that are in a hurry to dress and get out the door in the morning. If I'm in a hurry I just use a floor fan to help speed it up.

If you don't you'll get some white stains obviously - towel off excess will help, but unlike the stains from regular deo's this stuff just washes off. I wear a white shirt so it doesn't bother me if I'm in a hurry.

My pores aren't unnaturally clogged. No smell.

[Anonymous No.10039534]

>>10039505
Oh, and when you choose some milk of magnes from a pharmacy or whatever, don't buy the sweetened or flavoured versions. You don't want some sugary sweet shit in you underarms and getting stuck to your clothes.

Buy the most plain and unadulterated one you can.
The one I buy is scented with camphor, which is a nice plus but whatever.

Using this has allowed me to, when the odd occasion has come up, to wear the same shirt more than once.

Like on a unexpected, drunken impulse weekend road trip I took with friends. None of us had changes of clothes, but my clothes weren't exactly soiled like theirs were because mine didn't smell, because I didn't smell.

This has allowed me to get away with wearing, when I've really needed to, the same shirt twice out in this tropical heat. Sure it's not ideal, but doing so whilst not having underarm bacteria has allowed me to get away with it with significantly more grace than if I were reeking like something demonic.

I don't know if magnesium allergy's are a thing, but if you find this anon's >>10039036
citrusy solution too acidic for your skin, try magnesium hydroxide.

[Anonymous No.10039902]

Nasanta make an antiperspirant with magnesium as the active ingredient. I don't know why all deodorants don't use magnesium instead of aluminium. It does the same thing and it's an essential mineral that we all actually need in our bodies.

use citrus peels like orange/lemon peels. Squeeze the peel so the juice comes out. Rub the skin under armpit

I had been looking for an aluminium free deoderant that actually works and doesn't have perfume in it. I found a brand called NutriBiotic that seems to work for me (unlike those crystal rocks that hippies try to use). I like the unscented one because I hate it when people smell like walking petrochemical factories.

[Anonymous No.10039997]

I should add that the NutriBiotic one isn't 'wet' and it also doesn't leave marks in clothing, which is great. I intend to try out a magnesium one too at some point.

One test that tested both antitranspirants and deodorants has a few aluminium-free deodorants with good results (2 on a scale from 1-6). They measured the sweat intensity with and without the product, so they seem to work.

I'm currently using one of these deodorants and I have to say: it doesn't work as well as antitranspirants. With antitranspirants I barely smell after 24h, with aluminium-free deodorants I get smelly after a few hours on a bad day.

>any way to get rid of that shit?
no
it's worse if you use hot water to wash them, and then even worse when you iron the shirts
bakes that shit in
you can mitigate this somewhat by making sure the deo is dry on you before putting on a shirt, but it'll still bleed into the shirt throughout the day
wear the shirt once and wash it ASAP is the only way, but just not practical unless you have someone to wash your shit the second you take it off for the day
