What's the solution? Holding freezer packs under your arm pits until they go numb? OW! I'm going to get hair removing cream I think instead... it can't be much worse!

I was really excited by that, so I tried it with eh results. it helped but was not enough. oh well. BUT the zinc oxide (or other yummier smelling diaper ointments with zinc oxide as a top ingredient-- I found one that smells like lavender) make my pits soft and irritation free, those bumps and redness are gone. so I guess I'll keep using it after all.

Just go to a local health food store, or look up brands like Jason Natural Cosmetics or Desert Essence. I love my "hippie" deodorant...no aluminum, therefore no irritation. I can put it on right after shaving, plus it kills any odor without smelling funky like some of those ultra-perfumed deodorants out there. They cost a little more, but it was worth it for me to not have to worry about itchy, burning underarms. Plus, they won't stain your clothes!
