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.

[โ€“] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.

[โ€“] dan1101@lemm.ee 8 points 5 months ago

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.
