Advantages: Works well, smells lovely, doesn't sting

Disadvantages: None for me

I know that I always say when it comes to deodorant it has to be Dove for me. Not only does it work well but it is also ideal for using straight after shaving with no painful stinging.

I recently filled in a survey - I think it was for Ipoints - about various sorts of deodorant and I was asked if I would like a free sample of Sure Cotton fresh to try and then fill out another survey telling them what I thought of it.

Do I want a freebie? Can a duck swim? Of course I want a freebie! Especially a freebie where I get paid for answering questions about it!

When the deodorant arrived it was the roll on version which was great for me as that is the one I always go for. I find it convenient and easy to use. I tend to find that the spray from the aerosol ones catches the back of my throat and makes me cough when I spray them.

The full name of this deodorant is Sure Cotton Fresh Body Responsive for women. Since it was a free gift I did not have any idea of the price so I took a look on various web sites and the current price is round about the £1.69 mark although I do know that Sure deodorant is often on offer in Boots and at Tesco's.

The container is made completely from plastic so it is recycleable, which is a good start as far as I am concerned. The label on the front has the recognisable Sure tick and in shades of blue if you want to look for it on the shelves.

I have noticed in recent months that the containers of most of the roll on deodorants have changed dramatically. The old containers that stood with the opening at the top have been sidelined and they have been replaced with a new design in a bullet shape which stands the other way up with the roll on ball at the base of the container rather than at the top. It's not before time as far as I am concerned! It means that I don't have to balance the deodorant container upside down in the cupboard to try and get the last bit out! Every little helps in the current economic climate after all.

Having unscrewed the cap you find a fairly big ball, if you'll pardon the expression, which makes actually applying the deodorant to your underarms nice and easy. The deodorant always runs freely and there are never had any problem with it drying out, especially now the container has been improved.

This deodorant smells lovely and although I find fragrances very difficult to describe I will try. It is sweet and flowery but not too sickly; it is more of a fresh clean sort of fragrance if you see what I mean.

It dries very quickly which is a big advantage for any roll on deodorant as far as I am concerned. Many times in the past I have been seen walking round the bedroom flapping my arms up and down like some strange bird trying to get my deodorant to dry before I could get dressed but not so with this one.

This deodorant feels nice when I put it on too. It is smooth and easy to use and does not sting at all.

The deodorising and antiperspirant effect lasts all day even in hot weather, and when I am out in the garden sawing and chopping wood for our log burner!

The only minor problem that I found with the new design was that, after I had used the deodorant, and replaced the cap I usually found that there was a small amount of the deodorant around the seal where the cap met the main body of the container. A quick wipe soon sorted this so it isn't a real problem.

Being a roll on, it is in a small container making it ideal to take on holiday, and as it contains no propellant it can be taken on an aeroplane with no fear of explosions.

The other advantage of using a roll on deodorant is that it is kind to the environment, as it does not contain any CFC gases.

In conclusion I am very impressed with this deodorant - it works well, it isn't expensive and it smells lovely!

I will still give this 5 stars even though there is sometimes a bit of a mess round the lid after use, because I do think that the new design is a vast improvement on the old ones and the deodorant does work well!

So, it looks as though I have found a rival for Dove.............

Summary: A great freebie!
