Shaving under your arms and deodorant

Hiya :)

This is definately an off topic conversation.

Just wanting to be more o-natural and thought I'd see what all of the 811ers use for deodorant?

I'm wanting something more natural.

Also, When I shave, I ALWAYS get little pimples under my arms that look and feel gross...anyone have any advice???

I'm interested in this too. I've yet to find a good "natural" deodorant. I tried the Toms stuff for a long time but it doesn't actually work. :-(

I use a personal epilator to "wax" my underarms ( grows back slow and sparse and soft... ) and I use the natural crystal deodorant and it seems to definitely work well enough as I don't feel like I smell at all...

I have not heard of that. How does it work, and who sells it?

Peace, PK

Hey PK, the epilator pulls out the hairs at the root, it is a little electricity and/or battery powered machine and they are made by various brands, you can google it and/or find it at your local electric appliance store, somewhere near the men's electric shavers probably...

yes, agreed, it doesn't hurt me at all anymore and only ever did a little tiny bit ... The more you do it the less hair grows back and that is great and also, i find that the shorter the hair, the less pain...

I don't like it for my legs, it seemed to cause more ingrown hairs than waxing and so my legs I wax with a water based wax ( it is much faster than the epilator this way too... I found the epilator took me too long - though i did my legs this way for a couple of years... )

I had questions too a few weeks ago. I found a "Thai" spray--its mineral salts and that is working for me. Very mild.

Here is a link with some info:

stop shaving and stop using deodorant :)...but if you must the crystal deodorants and the thai spray that have already been mentioned are very effective
