Advantages: Dry smell free existence

Disadvantages: Can lead to skin dryness as well

There are certain things in life which no matter how cool you think you are cause you undeniable embarassment. Gesturing rudely at someone in traffic to discover it's your neighbour or someone that you know. Talking about someone and then noticing that they can hear what you are saying. Discovering that you are wearing your jumper inside out to work or that those shoes you grabbed that morning in a rush do not in fact match!

There are many more which are even too embarassing to put into the public domain but we all have our secret examples. For many years from puberty to relatively recently (I wish I could say that is a short time but I would lie), I was embarassed by the fact that no matter how expensive the deodorant, come late afternoon I would know that it was starting to wear off. Underarm dryness was something which was the right of successful beautiful people and a curse which I would have to bear. Many a beloved jumper or shirt was cast off prior to its sell-by date due to those underarm rings which shouted "THIS PERSON SWEATS".

Then I went to America on holidays and to stay with my environmentally conscious American sister-in-law. Her gasps of dismay at my aerosol deodorant (let's not talk about my love of red meat), led me to seeking out an alternative at her local hypermall. There I discovered "stick deodorant". And even better it actually worked. No more smell, no more wetness. Who says America isn't wonderful? So impressed was I with my new purchase I brought home a quantity (along with the Tylenol) which would last me for some time.

Once my smuggled stash ran out I began the search for a similar product in my home town. I tried several stick deodorants and some awful cream deodorants before the Lord smiled benignly on me and led me to "Secret" Clear Dry Stick Deodorant.

This Proctor & Gamble product has to be the best deodorant ever. It dries instantly on the
skin, although be careful when pulling your jumper on immediately afterwards as it can leave a few white marks although these are easily rubbed off. But no more that feeling mid-afternoon that you need a shower. No more having to walk around with your arms clamped to your sides. There's a whole new world of dark coloured shirts out there that you can buy and actually wear with total disregard to heat and stress. It comes in various scents but there is really no discernible smell which is totally fine by me after all it's no smell which I am seeking!

It seems to last for ages and you can use it right down to the last drop unlike some of the cream deodorants which I tried which crumbled half way through.

The reason I think it is so good is because it contains aluminium zirconium so if you have an aversion of any kind to this or its related products this deodorant is not for you.

The only drawback to the deodorant is that(and I don't even want to say this because it is so good) it can dry out your skin. But nothing that a good moisturising body cream won't cure.

I pay between £1.99 and £2.59 for a 50ml size but sometimes some of the big chemists have buy 2 get 1 free. To tell you the truth I would pay whatever they ask. I even hide my supply in my bedroom so my kids can't find it. This product is fantastic and while it's "Secret" I think everyone should know.
