Antiperspirant or deodorant?

Shinamae does it work? Does it stop underarm odour?

I don’t like the smells of any of the deodorants these days
Perhaps it is just me but I find some smell faintly of cat pee.

Years ago there used to be some lovely scented deodorants
But to be honest I didn’t perspire much until my mid 40s

Aluminium free is the important bit.
Definitely!

It has been widely available in supermarkets near here for many years, eg Tesco and Waitrose. Also available in Boots.

Snap from Tesco. Aluminium free is the important bit.

I stopped using an antiperspirant many years ago as after reading certain articles I did agree that pores are there to let your skin breathe and an antiperspirant just doesn’t do that,it stops you perspiring,well at least it stops the perspiration coming out of the pores.. I have used this deodorant for years and really like it.. about £2 I only used to be able to buy in a health store but now Tesco’s do it so it must be getting popular..
