Does anyone actually get 24hours use out of those 24hour deodorants?

[charleski]

just remember, absorption of too much aluminium is a BAD thing (read Alzheimer's or something like that), so personally don't use any anti perspirants or anything with aluminium in it. Plain deo.

More products are advertising they are aluminium free, for this reason.

Oh please, spraying some aluminium on your skin is NOT going to cause Alzheimer's.
Injecting aluminium into your blood stream can cause a dementia that's similar to, but distinct from, Alzheimer's, and this happened in early dialysis patients when the dialysate contained high concentrations of aluminium.

Do you wrap food in tin-foil? Do you cook using non-stick aluminium pans? Do you drink tea? Do you take aspirin or antacids? These introduce far more aluminium into your body than the tiny amount absorbed by your sweat glands from antiperspirant. The cells of your skin are normally shed, taking with them any aluminium they've absorbed, as part of the natural life-cycle. The study you quoted concerned differences in drinking water, and even then had to conclude that "neither aluminum nor silica concentrations had any significant association with the values of the Mini-Mental State Examination scores at inception", despite the fact that most of the participants had been drinking the water there for most of their lives.

@ amjedm
I have done this search already, and this may be the only one on the high street that meets your specs.

Waitrose, were doing one third off this week.

Thank you.

I might give it a try as I've had to stop using the Mitchum Roll On - I got a rash from it.

I use Sure spray-on. Frankly it doesn't work very well, but when I've tried a couple of others (including Nivea Sensitive), I've come up in a really sore rash - feels like my armpits are on fire. I'm a little reticent about trying others as a consequence!

You're not supposed to use it on your balls sir.

You're not supposed to use it on your balls sir.

Why?

I've returned to using Sure Roll On (Sensitive) so it's even less effective than the Std one

THE SWEDISH CHEMIST'S SHOP from Not the Nine O'Clock News (all those years ago):

"Hellooo I would like som de-odorant please."
"Certainly sir, ball or aerosol?"
"Neither, I want it for my armpits."
