Ahh, what a subject title.
It’s been about a week since I started seriously restricting my antiperspirant use. I’ve used it maybe once or twice. Instead, I’m using a natural deodorant made with baking soda. So far, it hasn’t been as bad as I expected. I’m definitely perspiring but as far as I can tell, I don’t stink. And I’m pretty sensitive to bad smells.
The one exception is when I work-out. I just am not sure the natural deoderant is strong enough for a serious gym session. After working out, I definitely felt like I needed to shower as soon as I got home. I’m struggling with whether or not to use antiperspirant only for the gym. I don’t want to feel like I’m not pushing myself on the stairclimber for fear of sweating excessively.

I have not had good luck with natural deodorants, however I plan to make this one when I get the chance.

If you like it Heather, let me know. I doubt I’m up for making my own at this point but maybe I could order some from you.
