Some people use a shaker to sprinkle it on the armpits, but I just put some dry soda on my fingers and rub it on. It keeps me dry and odorless. I've heard cornstarch works too, if you get a reaction to the baking soda. Cheap, easy, and totally non-toxic! I’ve been using plain old baking soda for the past few months, and it works great.

Actually, I often go natural (mostly because i'm forgetful) and hardly ever notice a smell, assuming I did shower that morning. But the Tom's gave me some nasty B.O. - and I wanted so badly to like it! I would love a natch alternative that works! Anti-perspirant is my last bastion of mainstream chems. Is the "alum crystal" kind actually an aluminum salt? Unfortunately the Tom’s of Maine deodorant I tried made me smell WORSE.

The crystal does work at blocking odors, though not as well or for as long as conventional deodorants. I put it on immediately after the shower (when armpits are still wet). The only problem is that this can sting if armpits were just shaved. I tried a couple of the non-crystal natural deodorants and they didn’t work.

Susan -- I was upset about the propylene glycol thing too. Tom's worked pretty well. I'm sorry to hear that the crystal doesn't work for you. I really like the TCCD roll on, although it's not without packaging. "Try washing your pits twice a day" -- Roger, that's excellent advice! Ooh, I’ll have to give Lush a try — thanks, Sherri!

“Try washing your pits twice a day” — Roger, that’s excellent advice!

I am old(61) so I should be stinkier, nes'ct pas? I use deoderant twice a week because I have it. My wife has never complained and I check regularly. By the way, I use it right after my showers, twice a week. Saves a lotta water! I drink lots of water and lots of coffee, I am a pescatarian and eat fish once or twice a week.

Kiss my Face didn't work for me (but I love their other products). I like the idea of the crystal the best, especially considering that you can buy it without packaging, but unfortunately my skin breaks out from it. Oh well.
