We have a debate going on at work...
I heard that rubbing lemon or lime underarm can be used instead of deodorant for sweating and odor. Is this true? Can anyone clear up how that is supposed to work?

it is infact lime and soda(powdered). u sprinkle the soda on half of lime and rub under arm. they both help to keep down the odor.

I have heard of that. I heard of the lemon solution. Haha. at first when I read this I thought you were referring to what tastes better. By the way, I prefer a lime in my Corona.

Lime cleanses your skin and also act as antibacterial. remember drinking hot lime/lemon tea help in bad sore throat too. That property of lime acts as deodrant when you rub lime on your underarm skin.

Um lemon. Because the use lemon oils in alot of antiperspirants. BUT WHY would you want to rub a raw lemon under your arm pit?!

Same here, I thought you were going to ask which one I like better....Yes you can use lemons as a natural deodorant, but I prefer my Secret....I don't trust sliming a lemon on my pits

ive never herd of that but im sure it could be possible. it would suck if u cut ur armpit from shaving it and then put the lemon or lime on it

it contains certain chemicals to rid sweating for a while till it wears off and as u know citrus contains a nice fresh smell so will make ure armpit stop sweating and make it less stinkier.
