I’ve been using baking soda for over 6 months now, and I actually just started to apply coconut oil beforehand, to help adhere it better, and it works wonderfully! There is no staining either! Deoderant from the store is notorious for making those chemical reactions, coconut oil does not stain, however!
Thanks for the extra ideas!

I can’t believe how well this stuff works. My husband has tried everything natural because he refuses to wear anything with chemicals in it. We finally found this and it’s amazing!

Thank you for this!! I have been struggling to find the right deoderant and have often spent up to $12 for clinical strenth, even at Wal-mart, that still doesn’t work. I am SO excited to try this! I hadn’t even thought about the aluminum and parabens, but now that I know I’m going to be kicking store-bought deoderant!

Thanks for sharing all this info! I used to struggle w/ store bought deodorants and wasn’t happy with any of them and was refusing to spend the big bucks for the “clinical strength” brands. Back in Feb I made some home made deodorant and I’ve loved it! I created a blog post on it and linked to your post… just thought I’d share and say “Thanks!!”

Ok,

So I mixed some up this weekend, and so far, I’m amazed. I’ll give it a few days just to be sure, but by 5 o’clock yesterday, no stink. Just pleasant coconutty freshness. I can’t believe I didn’t try this before. I just hope I don’t get the pits of fire like some have with the bakind soda. We’ll also have to see what happens when the weather warms up. This seems to be working and it was easy to make and apply, so I’m happy. Thanks Katie!

Narie,
I get a little annoyed by the stinky armpit clothing sometimes, too, but I guess I’m lucky that I manage to get through *most* days w/o problem. Synthetic shirts will definitely have issues about 20x faster than cotton or other natural materials. Do you wear silky or polyester fabrics to work?

You added such depth to my knowledge – thank you so much for sharing, and I hope this little addition works wonders for you!
