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.
Other stores than Walmart would sell Old Spice deodorant.
Walmart locks up items that are prone to theft in the area. Different things will be locked up in different Walmart’s, because different areas have different rates of theft for different things.
Deodorant has been stolen a lot in your area if they’ve locked it up.
Deoodorant is the gift you give to those around you. So, if someone needs deodorant so bad that they need to steal it…I’m thinking you should just let them have it.
I could not agree more… Ok I agree even morer now.
This makes sense and believe me that it is how I think the problem is being handled. However, it’s just not even 10% convenient. They might as well stop selling it because if it’s locked I’m not dealing with anyone for deodorant. It’s embarrassing like buying condoms when there’s a huge line behind you and you’re paying with change. That never happened to me, but I figured it out.
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’d be hesitant to buy anything of the sort off Amazon due to the higher possiblity of fake products. I checked target.com, and I think this is the blue gel, but there’s a handful of reviewers noting burns also.
https://www.target.com/p/old-spice-wild-collection-bearglove-deodorant-3oz/-/A-14898298#lnk=sametabPretty 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
I’m just happy to know others acknowledge that bearglove (and wolfthorne) are the best smelling wildly available deodorants. White is antiperspirant, blue is still just deodorant.
I miss Hawkridge. It was my jam and they killed it.
Wolfthorne is the only deodorant I’ve tried that I actually like the smell of (vs just tolerating it)
If they could figure out a way to make their antiperspirant in the same consistency as the deodorant that would be amazing. Hate the white chalky feeling shit
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.
One might even say your search was, Sisyphean…

sissy (more polite term for pussy)

I think OP just meant that he’s strong as an ox if oxen…oxen were the size of a human person. But good question. What exactly is a sisifus or whatever I typed there. Did it actually mean feminine men? Or more like really bitchy men who complain too much. Does bitchy mean people who complain too much? Should I have just said hey I never complain too much but this armpit rash is crazy? Does that mean the rash was decently incoherent? Do coherent rashes burn like lasers? Can you use a coherent rash to measure the Doppler effect in smelly armpits? What’s the speed of smell indeed. I don’t know. I just will have to figure it out eventually.
This has no bearing on anything said but I thought this vandalism bing/DDG picked up was funny:

I got lucky on the misspelling 😂.

It’s a double entedre. A sissyfus is someone who complains about lots of things. Given such behavior is a choice, and makes life harder, they are also actively pushing the same boulder up the same hill.

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.
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.
Lowsy results
Future reference, the word you’re looking for here is “lousy”.
Stay fresh!
Hey I’m only as good as the Internet can correct me. Thanks 👍.
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
Deodorant is blue, deodorant + antiperspirant is white in the store. It’s also all aluminum free now which sucks. I miss the aluminum deodorant gel.
While it might have been more effective, absorbed aluminium is linked to Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases.
And it stains clothes
Isn’t the blue kind the gel stuff? The white is the “solid” kind.
Yup, but how do I make sure what I get is the blue gel stuff?
Time travel. Buy the deodorant, check its color. If it’s no good, undo a repeat with a different seller.
Duh.
Oh I see, do just search for gel… ok someone else also suggested that.
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.
Ive been using schmitts, but it’s baking soda based just like that old spice probably is. I really loved using sweet pitti, which is unscented and uses mandelic acid. Imo, mandelic acid is the king of deodorants. Nothing is going to stop the sweat except aluminum though.
Can’t remember the name of the chemical, but there’s “SweatBlock” wipes and roll-ons that will literally keep you from sweating.
A brief check of their site shows they use aluminum salts.
Sorry about the mislead there. I really thought there was something else that was responsible for the pore blocking effect.
Glycopyrrolate?
It would be a crazy coincidence if you were allergic to something other than aluminum in antiperspirant.
Certain-Dri antiperspirant + Georgio Armani Profumo is the winning combo
