What deodorant/anti-perspirant do you recommend?

I%26#039;m 14 and I%26#039;ve been using deodorant since I was about 11. Lately, I%26#039;ve noticed that my deodorant (Toms) is not working as well. I was just wondering what your recommendations regarding deodorant were because I am not against it, but I would rather not use deodorant that contains any alluminum in it. One of my friends actually uses mens deodorant because it doesn%26#039;t have any alluminum. Is this a good or bad idea? And what are your reccomendations? Dove? Secret? Degree? Certain Dri?





Also, what is the difference between deodorant and anti-perspirant?





Thanks!

Smart girl! Your right, although some people don%26#039;t know, aluminum has been linked to Alzeimers disease and other problems of the aluminum building up in you body. I use an aluminum anti-persperant, but i really should switch!





Anyways:


Deoderant just covers the smell your body produces, while anti-persperant helps your body to not smell in the first place.


I would go with a antipersperant deoderant combonation.


The crystal block someone mentioned ive heard does really work well, but ive never tried it. Ive seen them at like whole foods and sprouts markets and trader joes.





I personally use Doves antipersperant/deoderant combo, which keeps you dry and you dont smell, but it has aluminum i think
Reply:There is one that is the crystal rock. Try it. I hear it works well. I say find something at the health food store. They usually carry stuff like that that is all natural. You need to change your deodorant after awhile. Your body gets immune to it.
Reply:Deoderant just adds fragrance to cover your natural scent. Anti-perspirants stop you from sweating, helping to eliminate the source of the odor. Anti-perspirants are your best bet. I found Arrid XXDry to work best for me. It smells good, and works really well to stop sweating. Arrid does contain aluminunm. Why do you want to stay away from aluminum? It%26#039;s very effective, and is totally safe.
Reply:umm i use dove. its really good and has barely any of that bad stuff, the foil or w/e. lol.
