Last time I was in Tesco's I was wandering down the body care aisle when I saw just what I needed , something to de whiff the family for a paltry sum. As I picked up the distinctive value item to slap it in my trolly a lady asked me dubiously if it really worked. The best I could muster was 'it does the job', although I was not entirely convinced of my own words. Noticeable she did not put her Sure back on the shelf.

I've recently started a new job and hadn't been able to afford pit spray for a while, so was finding under arm wetness rather a problem, so I was happy to see such a bargain priced item to help remedy this. The affect of the antiperspirant and deodorising qualities are adequate and there's nothing over powering about the aroma, it's not strongly perfumed but smells fresh. I seems to last all day and I don't experience the skin irritation caused by the more expensive brands, especially the ones marked for sensitive skin, which for me seems to be a misnomer in that it does make my skin extremely sensitive and irritated. So none of that with this cheap little beauty.

The spray never clogs, though should it fail to 'operate' it can be removed and rinsed which should solve the problem, it is quite ergonomic to use. The button being quite wide, concave and ridged so your finger sits quite comfortable on it. The spread of the spray is similar to other like products, giving decent coverage in one burst without getting it into your face too much.

I can't really say how this product fares under strenuous physical exercise because I'm a bit of a sofa jockey. However I suspect it wouldn't fare well under these conditions, as I have an office job, and am not very physically active, yet the wetness can break through by the end of the day. The deodorising effect though does keep on working. I've not noticed any staining of my shirts while using this, and no white marks on my black shirts.

The can comes in the distinctive Tesco value brand livery of white, blue and red with a delicate white feather as decoration. The date stamp on the bottom tells me that should I wish to stockpile just in case of a sweat inducing natural disaster which I have to hole up for that it will last for 5 years!

The can contains 200mls and has gone up fairly recently to 41p, I've noticed that a lot of items everywhere are doubling in price. If we have any sense we'll abandon this rip off country and go settle somewhere else just for spite.
