I personally found this woman on Etsy named soap who makes custom scented soap and deodorant, and I love mine so far. I have been using it for about 7 months, now and I like it, but it is just now turning into summer here so I will see how well it keeps me smellin good. But I sweat like a man, and have an extremely active job where I sweat pretty often, and this deodorant works for me. Her direct link is: www.etsy.com/shop.php Her shop is called Bathing In Luxury. There is a huge list of all her diff. scents and she sends you sample soap squares with your orders as well. I ordered lil travel size deodorant for 2bux a piece so I could try a few diff scents that sounded interesting, and liked them all actually, even the ones for my boyfriend. And they are all natural! Gotta love Etsy!

Also, I found these online a lil while ago in my initial search for all natural deodorant. If you want to give them a try, I have not yet.

What differences are there, perfume added or is it the type of rock?

Did the dark pits fade? I have this a bit too and thought it was a genetic thing. I've never been one to sweat a lot. So this may very well work for me!

Wow, that is interesting. I don't each much meat, so this isn't an issue. I'll have to pay more attention next time.

well I have been a vegetarian my entire life and the crystal deodorants still don't work for me but everyone is different. I am currently using Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural Unscented Deodorant it is Aluminum and Paraben Free it seems to work well.

Wow! If it works on "man stink" then it must be worth a try! LOL!

Hope this is not "to much information", It's also great for the crotch area especially in the hot months, and a god send for the males prone to chafing. Opps sorry. I keep one in the shower. %-)

Wow... I've noticed those rocks can absorb odors they're exposed to. I wonder if that is what happened or if there was just some weird chemical reaction?

So, how do you use this rock deoderant? Ive heard about it for years, but have never seen it in a store. I also have a sweating condition, where I sweat heavily from the waist up. With the least exertion the sweat is rolling off of me, dripping on the inside of my gasses, making my hair sopping wet, rolling down my chest, drooling down my face and back. Its a real problem for me, and I cant stand the feel of sweat dripping down my skin. Its so bad that I am cold all the time- wet hair and clothes all the time then going into airconditioning, or in winter- outside. It simply makes me miserable. I cant get any doctor interested, let alone believe me. Forget make up. I have to use waterproof everything from foundation to shadows, liners, mascara. I have to wear a heavy sweat band or folded bandana in class and then I STILL have sweat running . Man, I hate the feeling. I wear all black or white so the sweat doesnt show, it makes me crazy! Anyone have any ideas?
