Re: Tom's Natural Deodorant and itchy armpits

[Guest guest]

Oh goodness--no. My son is a big burly 17 year old. I like to share with

my kids as much as possible, but not that much!

That's the weird thing--that both of us, with separate deodorants, but the

same brand, are suddenly having this same issue. I also used to use the

lavender one, which he wouldn't be caught dead smelling like. He was using

the woodsy one.

Now we have both switched to the unscented (2 separate ones!) after the

itching started, and it is still occurring.

Even if it were a build-up problem, it would be strange that both of us

have it occurring at exactly the same time. I'm thinking there's something

added and will contact the company. Just wondering if anyone else is having

this problem.

[ ] Tom's Natural Deodorant and itchy armpits

Hi all,

We've been using Tom's for years with no problems. Now suddenly, even

with the unscented, my son and I have been experiencing really itchy

armpits--has anyone else had this happened?

It's not so much that we both use it and have this problem--but

practically

simultaneously after using this product for years?? Is there another

ingredient they are now adding?

If anyone has another aluminum-free product they like...? We've tried the

crystal stick--that's just kind of strange and you never can even tell how

much is being applied--I don't think it works that well anyway.

Thanks,

Weleda Citrus spray rocks.  the Tom's was good but stopped working for me.  I

stunk like a skunk after two hours with it.  Tip:  you can get weleda on

vitacost.com for half the price of getting it at a whole foods.

I tried TOm's and HATED it-made me stink more than if I had worn none. For over

a year I have been using Young Living's all natural deodorant made from

essential oils.

I can't say enough wonderful things about it! It only lasts for a day hours but

that works for me! And I am not just saying this because I now am an essential

oils distrib...I endorse products I've tried and love.

The deodorant must not be doing it's job, then because the fungus more than

likely came from your sweat build-up than deodorant. Or maybe it was doing it's

job too well and keeping the sweat at bay.

Fungus is caused from not staying dry (too wet). That is why a podiatrist will

tell you (if you have athlete's foot-fungus) to wash and dry your feet well,

drying well between the toes, and wear clean/dry cotton socks.

Change deodorants.
