Love it or Leave it? Product Review, Deodorant

Natural Love it or Leave it: Deodorant

Switching from commercial products to natural ones is not for the faint hearted. I would love to see product reviews of things that are loved and things that could stand to be left behind. I know every ones different, so it's great to hear lots of opinions! Personally, I detest sweating and/or stinking. So when I started reading about the junk & heavy metals in commercial deodorant, I was not a happy camper. After some initial resistance I tried a few deodorants (and made my man try too). Here are what we found to work best for us. What do you use? What do you dislike? Has anyone made their own?

Love it:

Deodorant:

For men: Natural Grooming by Urban Cowboy

"Wild, Maximum Protection"

This controls man-stink as well as commercial deodorants, but without the strong smell. Yes, after a long day in a jet, on a run, or after a Workout Of the Day, you'll still want your man to shower up. But that's no different in our house with commercial or natural.

For Woman:

Alba Botanica, Clear Enzyme Deodorant

Tea Tree with Baking Soda

My friend, a personal trainer, recommended this. I think it works great. I have never tested it in the lovely Texas heat, but as far as the Northeast goes, it works well. It even holds through runs and WOD's for the most part. Plus, the commissary stocks this brand- score!

Leave it:

Well, I don't really have any deodorant dislikes. Do you?

What do you use?
