It works better for me than any deodorant I've ever used (including the crystal). I pour a small amount into one hand, wet the other hand, rub both hands together and then under my arms. If this doesn't work for you, for three days, start the process by wiping your underarms with a cotton ball saturated in rubbing alcohol. This will get rid of the bacteria.<br /><br />I wonder how safe baking soda is? I have never felt comfortable using deodorant because it delivers toxins directly to the lymph nodes. I was ignorant to the fact that baking soda is very effective as a deodorant and so I used all kinds of toxic deodorants my entire life. Many of the "natural" deodorants are toxic.<br /><br />Is there a way to find out about the safety of baking soda?Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08174584517170949357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766882701166934144.post-38278647169244266082012-06-10T22:51:11.392-07:002012-06-10T22:51:11.392-07:00One of the best things I've found that works i...One of the best things I've found that works is after the shower get a lemon wedge and squeeze some juice in ur palm and slap it in ur pits!

In the same sense that some people irrationally think driving is safer than flying, it seems foolhardy to trade mainstream compounds for a crazy amount of sodium.

I always thought that I had- I'm a little embarrassed to mention but I guess this is pretty anonymous here- particularly smelly armpits but I haven't noticed any kind of odor at all with baking soda, even the next day after applying. I just would want to get the word out so that more people would use this rather potentially harmful chemicals. I had looked a long time beforehand for a natural product that works and could find nothing. Even traditional deodorants weren't really enough to last all day for me. I encourage anyone to give this a try. I really feel it's the most effective way of preventing underarm odor out there and it's cheap and I can't imagine it has any negative health consequences considering how basic and natural it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766882701166934144.post-26760750229467506642011-09-17T10:31:04.863-07:002011-09-17T10:31:04.863-07:00Does baking powder work just as well?
