De-lurking myself here to spread the gospel… You HAVE TO try the Adidas Cotton Tech Deodorant. It’s sold in regular drugstores, Target, etc, alongside other Adidas deodorant, but this stuff is awesome because instead of clogging your pits with aluminum, it uses cotton to actually absorb your sweat. And it works. For realz. The added benefit is that it doesn’t yellow the armpits of your clothes. I love love love this stuff.
Let me know if you try it!

oh wow, i recently started using Toms for the same reason. i had to apply twice a day and i still stunk. but after about a month i think my body adjusted and i no longer stink, i swear! a month is a long time to have BO, but i think it was worth it. i am guessing any switch will have the same transition period?

In fact, all the regular anti-perspirants contain aluminum, but the regular deodorants mostly do not. I used a Lady Speed Stick for a long time — powder fresh scent or some such thing that smelled clean and not too strong. It worked very well. I did eventually switch to Tom’s just for a lark, but I would swear by the Lady Speed Stick, which I used to buy at Target. I had a friend who swore by some weird kind of deodorant CRYSTAL that was like a stone that you just rubbed around under your arms. Yeah right. Good luck with that. I don’t recommend that option.
