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?

    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.

        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.
