I use Dove Original and recently saw that it contained those little plastic ball things, so I am looking for a new one too. I don't like the wet ones I prefer the hard paste type ones. I can't use aerosol ones, if they are still available, as they affect my breathing. Poor old soul. smile

I use a mineral stick. This does not contain aluminium.

I have told my husband that I want him to tell me if it doesn't work properly but he says I smell fine (and I have hot flushes).

I have the same problem as janeainsworth and have to have a heavy duty antiperspirant. Its more important for me not to smell and not have wet underarms now, rather than worry about the unproven link with breast cancer.

Well am pleased to hear that !!!!

I have a bit of an armpit problem blush and the only ones that work for me are those containing aluminium zirconium tetrachkorohydrex.
I'm not dead yet.

DH is still looking for one that doesn't bring him out in an underarm rash. A fairly recent problem. We have tried numerous brands that are supposed to negate this problem, but none of them work. Fed up of throwing them away. He uses medicated talc but that is a short term fix only.

Coincidence - I bought some this morning and noticed quite a few said no aluminium.
I was looking for one perfume-free - I hate these sweet perfumes that some have, I'd rather smell of sweat!

I've used Forever Living Aloe Ever Shield for many years for that reason. Use heavy duty stuff if I'm dressing up [ie not very often].

Any ladies out there? I'm only a woman so not qualified to speak or potentially advertise

The research into the issue of using ladies deodorants with the ingredient aluminium in, seems inconclusive. I would value a discussion and perhaps some recommendations of brands that do not include this chemical.
