I used regular deodorant for years, but now I have an allergy. I found a few deos that don't have aluminum, but---let's just say, I'm not satisfied.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know a better alternative?
Thanks.

I think Tom's is what I'm using. It's yellow...

Dust underarms with baking soda; Tom's of Maine makes a natural deoderant which also uses baking soda as a main ingredient, I believe.

I am a cancer patient and am strongly encouraged not to use anti persperant while on treatment for allergy and infection issues.
I have a sweat problem, so... There are several different deodorants that you can use, and the pharmacist at any walmart or drug store can advise you on the brands they have. However, I have never felt they do an adequate job. I sweat profusly, and always felt nasty and stinky.
My best solution was a crystal and lots of baby powder. I washed often, used baby wipes during the day or if I was out anywhere. I literally carried around a refillable mini container for baby wipes and a small bottle of baby powder.

There are aluminum-free deodorants available such as from the brand Bionsen. This is the one I use (roll-on version) and whilst perhaps not as "sweat blocking" as standard deodorants (they contain aluminum for a reason) it works well enough.

Tom's of Maine has some great personal products, including deoderants that are aluminum free.

Try alum sticks or check Mitchum deodorant, I am not sure but it may not contain aluminum.

Check at your local health food store or GNC for other alternatives.

Make sure you're using a deodorant.
Sounds like you've been using an ANtiperspirant.
