How to use natural stick deodorant properly?
Hi
A year ago I switched from using chemical spray deodorant to Wild’s stick deodorant. They claim to be fully natural and I like the scents they offer. Since chemical deodorant isn’t the greatest for my skin (my armpits often used to hurt and I had darkened skin, that’s not the case anymore with the stick deodorant) and my lungs (I was coughing every single time or holding my breath while using the spray) I had decided to try it for a while.
However every night when I’m changing into my pyjama’s, the shirt I have been wearing throughout the day stinks under my armpits so I have to toss it in the wash. Even when I haven’t really been doing anything all day, it still smells pretty bad. This was not the case with the spray deodorants.
How I use the stick deodorant: I make a few swipes under each armpit and then rub it in with my hand. Sometimes I repeat the cycle again when I feel like there’s not enough deodorant on my skin.
I have asked multiple people if I ever stink and they all said no.
And no, I don’t mind having to wear a clean shirt when I have been working all day. But when I have been rotting on the couch all day and want to rot on the couch again the next day, I don’t see the point in how I made the first shirt smell and now I have to wear a clean shirt just for it to stink too at the end of the day 🥲
Am I doing anything wrong with the stick deodorant? Or is it just how they work?
