While shopping on Amazon for my usual old spice bearglove smelling system, I’ve gotten burned with what I’m getting. I want the blue stuff and I keep getting this white stuff. I don’t care if they took the aluminum off, I’m not willing to try that again. Last time I tried it my armpits got extremely irritated. I’m not a sissyfus type of person, but hey if someone was poking you in the armpits that would hurt.
So here I am thinking…hmm deodorant is the blue stuff! Antiperspirant is the white stuff. But no. Now there seems no difference. So does anyone have a good aroma deodorant that not white irritation based for me to try from Amazon?
Just a thought, if you leave the house to buy things, you can ensure you’re getting the things you actually want
Not everyone has the ability or capability to leave their home.
Too much of that stretching nonsense, and you can’t fit out your door no matter how lot you try to stoop.
LOL. No way Jose! I like to just go to work and never have to risk my life at Walmart lol. Plus you know, it’s deodorant so they gotta lock it for some reason.
Walgreens is how I do exactly this. I too get the rash and have coworkers complain about smell.
Agreed in some cases, but I haven’t been able to find the classic original formula Old Spice in stores for years. Going to stores results in a lot of wasted time and gas sometimes.
Make sure you get the right burn cream when you are out!!
It’s not a burn if someone has limited mobility and can’t “just leave the house”
It was a funny comment. If you have limited mobility and can’t just leave the house, and I am nearby, I would be happy to help you out. Not gonna dox myself in public but lets start with a general area, central Tx. PM me on here.
Presuming edge cases is dumb.
THANK YOU
I’m not sure if it’s consistent but at least for the pure sport flavor, aluminum free = blue gel deodorant, otherwise it’s the white chalky antiperspirant
“flavor” lol
Would you call it aroma? Or smell.
I would call it scent.
Pretty sure the white stuff is antiperspirant while the blue is just deodorant. Most scents have both kinds and the label should say which is which. I don’t sweat much myself so the antiperspirant def iritated me years ago when I bought the wrong kind.
Yea also check if it contains aluminum.
Yup the aluminum stuff, from what I recall is what caused my armpit rash. And this was like 2019. I’m sure there’s still stock. But I couldn’t help but notice that almost every brand right now is advertising “no aluminum”. They probably got the message. That rash was gnarly! And obviously from the deodorant. I would not be surprised if everyone of us who used that stuff since highschool ends up getting some cancer or Alzheimer’s or liver disease.
That’s my experience but yeah, the ad has both shown on the same product “deodorant” what I would have expected to be the White stuff.
In stores the deodorant is blue and its the antiperspirant that’s white.
The antiperspirant is so damn sticky it almost abrades my skin just trying to scrap some onto my pit
One might even say your search was, Sisyphean…
This is likely due to one of two things.
- Amazon is bucketing deodorant and antiperspirant + deodorant in the same spot so it’s random what you get.
- A retailer mislabeled their stock and it got put in the wrong bin, so people get wrong products until all that stock is gone. Amazon comingles products so changing the seller won’t help.
- The picker grabbed the wrong item. This probably isn’t the case.
Try out this listing: https://a.co/d/8TAr1o4
Based on what I’ve been seeing what you want to look for specifically is the solid red lid, that seems to be the best indicator that it’s the blue gel type deodorant, whereas the clear lid seems to indicate that it’s the white antiperspirant type.
You’re looking for deodorant GEL
I just did a search with that term and I get the same lowsy results. They show many pictures of the container, even one with dimensions and an arm for size comparison because I always check to make sure my deodorant is not 3 gallons size. But color of actual useful material? Nah! The buyers would never want to know! That’s crazy talk lol.
Strangely that exact listing in your image has pictures of both, the picture with the lid off showing the regular white stick, but some of the profile shots show the clear lid that is typically used on the gel product…I can also see Amazon says this product is frequently returned
Exactly! They got reviews going like “it’s awesome I put it on my soup and it tastes great” with a picture of the blue stuff, then a few other pictures and bam! It’s the white stuff! Like WTF!
This one is interesting because “83 thousand people bought it” Native Deodorant | Natural Deodorant for Women and Men, 72 Hour Odor Control, Coconut & Vanilla https://a.co/d/0DeiUjn
Certain-Dri antiperspirant + Georgio Armani Profumo is the winning combo
