Munchkins out there in Munchkinland, what say you?
I’m so glad BTFM is back in business, as I have a pressing issue! Since my ordination (Episcopal Church) I’m wearing a black sleeveless clergy shirt every Sunday. Is there any antiperspirant you know of that won’t leave white stains? I hope so!
Hope things are going well for you.
Peace,

I’ve always had good luck with Ban clear roll-on and with Mitchum gel (love that stuff, but my armpits do become immune to it with prolonged use), and with roll-on salt from the health food store when I’m feeling like taking a break from the toxins in the standard issue deody. Anyone have any other suggestions?
P.S. A great Yiddish word for perspiring is “schvitzing.” As in, “Let’s give air hugs and kisses in the receiving line after church today, because I’m totally schvitzing!”
I switched to Dove Ultimate Clear (it’s a solid stick type) recently for this very reason. It’s GREAT. Smells good (but none of the scents I’ve smelled are too strong) and it does not leave white stuff anywhere.
I recently switched from antiperspirant to deoderant (since the antiperspirant wasn’t really keeping me from perspiring anyway). The only women’s brand at my grocer is Arm & Hammer Essentials. The unscented actually has a faint citrus-y scent. I haven’t noticed any new white marks on my clothes since I’ve been using it. And it has the added bonus of being free of aluminum and paraben.
They say vegetarianism helps cut down with schvitzing. I have nothing to compare it to, but it’s a common tale.
I stumbled across Degree Ultra Clear for women — the “special little black dress edition” – it’s great! Highly recommended.
