I went to buy current husband some today and I noted that the mens' range was mainly antiperspirant only whereas the female range was deodorant plus antiperspirant Any idea why?

Very interesting question there Izabella.. apparently antiperspirant blocks sweat but not odour .. and I can think of men who could do with something to stop their odour!!

A good site to visit

.. and the thought just occurred to me that in some countries a mans body odour is considered very sexy grin

I'm rather partial to a sweaty man smell.
Its only when its left that it gets whiffy, and that turns my stomach.
