Best natural deodorant (my personal experience).

I tried it once and it burned the bejeezus off of my armpits. I never tried it again.

The lady on the video said it stays irritated for THREE WEEKS? Was that your experience, OP? I'd like to try it again because I'd like to go natural, but it was painful!

Thanks Malaysia as I was just telling a friend about my method which is the same as yours and I do not have any body odor (and I have a very sensitive nose).
Same with sweating - Advertizers on tv got to people in the 1950s about both odor and sweating. Sweating is the body's natural way of cleansing impurities out and keeping cool in the summer. I used to sweat more when I was young (in varying) places, but it's eased off as I've aged; probably something to do with hormones or lack thereof.
Bottom line; good hygiene = no odor. Case closed.

I use Sodium Bicarbonate and Corn Starch. That ia like talc powder, a drier plus the Sodium Bicarb. is the agent that kills the bacteria that makes you smell.

You can use an essential oil if you want or Coconut oil, if you want but it is not necessary.


I have used it since I began meditating in 1987. Aluminium in SURE Deodorant made me some painful sores in my armpits, so I came across Sodium Bicarb.

It works great.

I was born in87. I don't know who my real dad is : (
.....are you my dad mister??

Dear OP, thanks for sharing.

thanks OP

inexpensive little things like sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide can do wonders for our bodies

I use non-gmo, organic cornstarch and then I put some lemongrass spa deodorant on for the pretty smell. It doesn't irritate, smells great and it works awesome!

I tried the baking soda but it burned and irritated my skin.

I get your point, but I don't agree on that.

No matter how clean I am, my armpits CAN smell. Not ultrabad, but still, haha...

It depends on the person.

I agree with you OP. I have good hygiene, but I can't be by a sink all through the day. If I get nervous, or it is very muggy outside, my pits can get smelly. I am going to try this method. I have tried so many natural deodorants, but I find that I have to keep applying them through the day to stay stink-free. LOL Thanks for sharing, OP!

I know some of you share my love for natural habits and stuff, so here I'm posting my experience with natural deodorants.

I've tried different methods, such as using lemon juice and plain alcohol, but the one that is working for me 100% is...











is.........


















...sodium bicarbonate!

Yes, what they say it's true! It really, really works. Lemon juice is fine, but it can stain your clothes and the smell can still be there (less, but there). Alcohol... hm, I wasn't very pleased with the results.

However, sodium bicarbonate has surpassed my expectations, really. I've been using it for two weeks and I've sweated a lot and NO bad smell at the end of the day.

YOU MUST TRY IT and post here your experiences as well.

Here's a good video showing how to use it:


By the way, I know some of you call it "baking soda", but be careful, because I'm talking about pure sodium bicarbonate, so, this is not to be mistaken with baking powder!

You're welcome.

Hydrogen peroxide? What for?

Same here. I didn't know the irritation would leave after 3 weeks, but I could hardly stand it for a few days. Maybe I'll rub coconut oil in first and then the soda. That might keep the irritation from hurting so much.

Anyway, I'm glad to know the irritation will go away. I might try again.

How about washing regularly and keeping your clothes clean. Works for me and I live in Malaysia

Have been using the cyrstal stick deo, but same as another user, find it wears off later in the day, also as another poster pointed out used to get really sore armpits from the crap like sure and the rest. Will definetly give some of these a try

+1

been doing it for about 3 months now after taking advice from a different post on GLP (could hae been yours)

it really does work very well, and the dryness/itchiness i had experienced from using a commercial deodorant has disappeared too

my clothes have never smelled better

many thanks to you for reminding me to add my 2 cents

using it for about 4 years now.
great results absolutely no smell, no stains in cloths and dry all day!

this skit was on awhile back...hehe..

Baby powder mixed with the baking soda will stop the sweat

might as well. Already brushing, washing and drinking it...
