I’m currently using Natural Deodorant Co. Their Vanilla and Manuka is great but I also love the Tangerine.” mychildrenarebarmy Because we know there’s nothing quite as valuable as real recommendations from those who have personally tried a product, we first headed to our Mumsnet Forum to find out which deodorants and antiperspirants Mumsnetters bought themselves to stay fresh and dry whilst running after the kids.Here are a few things to consider when choosing a deodorant or antiperspirant Deodorant vs antiperspirant?

Crystal deodorant is a type of alternative deodorant made of natural mineral salt called potassium alum, which has antimicrobial properties. It stops the growth of odour-causing bacteria but, like other deodorants, won't actually prevent sweat production. Like other non-antiperspirants, it works on the consideration that it's good for your body to sweat, but understandably not so good for you if that sweat smells.

4. Best natural deodorant: Weleda Citrus Deodorant

Designed specifically to cope with the impact sport has on sweating and odour, this Sure Maximum Deodorant Cream offers powerful 96-hour protection against sweat and odour using a 'body-responsive TRIsolid formula'. In fact, manufacturers claim it offers three times the sweat protection than its normal antiperspirant does, plus it also has a nice, fresh citrusy smell with jasmine, apple and rose notes. Another bonus is that this formula contains additional moisturising ingredients to prevent possible skin irritation. I get on with Lush Aromaco. It's not an antiperspirant but I never smell sweaty when I use it.” GinandSonic Another vote for the Sure Maximum Protection - I use the Sport one. It was the only thing to conquer my post-baby B.O. and continues to leave me whiff free all day.” GroggyLegs

The presence of aluminium in your deodorant might be a factor for you. All antiperspirants contain aluminium, as this active ingredient enables them to do their job of stopping sweat production. If you’re not a fan of deodorant sprays or roll-ons, we’ve found that this gentle deodorant cream from Natural Deodorant Co. does the job of keeping underarms fresh and sweat free for hours. It’s also easy to apply, simply use your fingertips to smear a small, pea-sized amount of the cream in your armpit area (make sure the area is completely dry first), and you’re ready to go. As we’ve discussed above, deodorants help to control body odour, whereas antiperspirants keep you dry by reducing the amount of sweat you produce. The type you choose depends on your unique needs and preferences. Aluminium-free? Without aluminium, deodorants don't really stop you sweating. However, there is some evidence that particular natural deodorant ingredients, such as astringents like witch hazel and tannins, dry out the underarms and reduce pore size, which will stop your underarms from feeling so sweaty. Often seen as aluminium-free, potassium alum does have aluminium in it, although arguably of a lesser quantity than antiperspirants.Do not apply to irritated skin. Pressurised Conatiner. Do not pierce or burn even after use. Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. Keep away from sources of ignition. No smoking. Keep out of reach of children. Use only as directed. Use in well ventilated places. Do not spray in eyes. Extremely flammable. Product Specification This is mostly down to personal preference. Roll-ons can often feel gentler on the skin, but some find the wet feeling makes them feel sweaty, and don't like waiting for them to dry. If you're in this camp, opt for a spray. It should be noted that strong sprays can be asthma triggers if that is relevant for you or your family. Which is better for the environment? It's worth noting that some women have had side effects from switching to a crystal deodorant – such as skin irritation (especially on broken skin). This can calm down once your body gets used to it, but of course, if it continues, or you're worried, do stop using it. As one Mumsnetter says, “The crystal deodorant works brilliantly for me - it doesn't stop me sweating but it stops all odour. Lasts for years too.” How can I stop excessive sweating?
