No, my friend, "alum" and "aluminum" are two completely different things.

I'm glad you brought that up. I have always wondered if putting on deodorant blocks those odors/toxins from coming out that really need to ooze out. I must confess that on the weekends I do go without putting on any deodorant. I'm a sweater, so when Sunday evening rolls around, I"m as "tart" as a tiger that is ready to roar if you get my drift.

.

So, I really really really have to wear "some" kind of under arm protection or I will knock people down like a row of dominoes.

I wonder what did Laura Engles (sp) and her family wear back in the Little House On The Prairie days?

This is my own weird idea...but I think they squished mint leaves under their arms.

You may be on to something. You're probably right.

They just smelled bad. People accepted odors as part of humanity. Just like animals have odors, so do people. Your Sunday best was used to keep the accumulated odors away while you were in public and were visiting others.

I definitely think you're onto something. I gave up wearing antiperspirants and deodorants about 18 months ago due to the link to antiperspirants and breast cancer. The first few weeks I had to wash with soap fairly often but once all the toxins (or whatever you want to call them) had been removed from my body, the smell went away. I will never go back to applying anything that blocks the pores on a daily basis.

I am very sensitive to things on my skin and use Almay...it's the only thing I can use. They do make an unscented version

I purchased the ALMAY on Saturday at Wal Mart before I received so many great suggestions from you all. It was $2.19. I tripled the application for starters to test it out to see if there was ANY possibility of my bionic "SUPERPOWER" nose smelling the least bit of fragrance. Guess what? I smelled ABSOLUTELY NOTHING !!!!!!!!!! By gosh, I think I found something.

I could not believe it.

Almay is awesome! It's the only one I'm not allergic to. I use the aloe one, but it does have a scent. Enjoy!!

I felt like I had won the lottery because I woke up and could not smell any fragrance.
