The deodorant I use is a miracle product. All natural and holistic, it keeps odor and wetness away…it is made by Real Purity. It is $10, but lasts you a long time and is truly the best natural deodorant ever created. And no white marks either!

One way to ‘erase’ those pesky white marks is to use the Gal Pal Garment Deodorant Remover… a wonderful and magical, I might add, little pink sponge that literally erases those white marks from your clothing. No ladies, a regular sponge isn’t as magical! They last forever and make excellent little gifts. I came across them in a little boutique clothing store in Oakville, Ontario years ago but am now seeing them in drug and department stores. See also their website: http://www.gal-pal.com

Well, I’m going to stand by what I say.

I don’t do it because the companies tell me to. I use it because I choose to. I find wetness outside of a pool or bath uncomfortable. I hate the sticky feeling sweet leaves on my skin. I hate the smell.

I do it for ME. I do NOT do it because advertising tells me to.

And I firmly believe that 99% of the people deep down feel the same way.

. . . just seconding the idea that it is advertising that leads us to believe we should be sweat-free; that dry is “comfortable”; that dry underarms are the norm; that sweaty pits are gross. . . .
I have recently, post-40, come to the conclusion that allowing my body to have its normal response to the conditions it’s subjected to is probably healthiest. When it’s warm or I’m nervous, I sweat. To avoid being socially ostracized, I use the crystal deodorant that others have mentioned.

I found that wiping deodorant marks off shirts with a nylon stocking works fairly well.
