I wonder if the same applies for women? The Mrs has her birthday in a few weeks and a crate of deodorant could be in order if it does!

Use LUSH dry deodorant.

Thanks - that's one of those shops I've always been frightened to enter!
Old-fashioned stick roll-on deodorant (not anti=perspirant) seems to be ok anyway. All those Old Spice sticks from accumulated Emirates amenity kits are finally getting a use...(perhaps more insight into my personality there than I intended..)

Or perhaps try SebaMed balsam deodorant for sensitive skin - aluminium and alcohol free. Am prone to getting occasional outbreaks of eczema and this deodorant doesn't cause any problems

Thanks - that sounds even scarier and above my limited budget for personal care items! I'll check it out but I'm concerned about the investment required if it doesn't work! Much like the Lush stuff... However, that point about Al and OH may be the key, so from a scientific point of view I'm keen to try the experiment....
