I've been using the rock deodorant on and off for about a year, and it works great. Except... even though *I'm* not stinky, my clothes do get stinky. This isn't really a problem in the winter, but I could barely use it all summer. I'd get really smelly, but when I took my shirt off, I didn't smell at all--just the armpits of my shirts. I suppose when I sweat, the fiber of my clothes don't have the same antibacterial that my skin has thanks to the rock.
This is annoying, because I don't like stinking half way through the day, and it also means I have to wash my clothes way more often, and they take on more wear and tear (I have to dress professionally, so I try to wash my work clothes as little and as gently as possible).
Any suggestions on keeping my shirts from getting stinky when it's hot out?
Read this thread early August last year, decided to track down a stick of rock as I was headed to the UK for six months and wanted something that I could take on the plane (and didn't want to have to work out a brand that I could stand over there). Also took a solid shampoo and solid conditioner bar, they're amazing so long as your hair is short. I've used my rock since then, and it is barely half used. would definitely recommend.
I'd be on to converting my partner to use it but he is one of those enviably rare people who just don't have armpit odor even without deodorant. However, does anyone in the 'make-your-own-recipie' group that have been posting on this thread have a solution for feet? I live with 4 guys. Homemade foot powder ideas would be welcome. Though I read somewhere that the rock is also good to be used on the feet- has anybody had success with this?
I have not tested it out, but I've heard others who have success for stinky feet using the basic ingredients of dry deodorant: baking soda and cornstarch (or arrowroot powder). I think the baking soda is for the stink, and the cornstarch is for the sweat.
