Sensory issues with deodorant

May be worth looking at bamboo clothing too as it has anti-bacterial properties and is very cool in hot weather. May be good in combination with some of the other suggestions. 

I struggled with this when I was younger, and my dad found an unperfumed roll on by a company called Mitchum. I think he got it from Tesco!

so you might not see this but I picked up a special type of roll-on in poundworld

it's dove invisible dry and it feels like applying dove soap onto dry skin (it's also got a 1/4 moisturising cream in it

the stuff works wonders and doesn't feel as wet/sticky as the usual roll-on stuff, I use it all the time now! :)

oh I forgot to mention it's different packaging and there's a twisty thing at the bottom that you twist and the deodorant stick thing comes up 

I use Salt of the Earth Spray.It´s just like spritzing water under your arms- no smell, non-toxic, yet it keeps me fresh all day, even when working out! I don't put anything perfumed or containing toxins on myself or my son because toxic overload can add to our kids symptoms. Here's a website for the deodorant and other safe, non-toxic products: www.biggreensmile.com  Hope that helps!

I have issues with excema and after a very bad reaction to a deodorant on my underarms I don't use it now if I know the weather is cool and I am going to be little activity so not getting sweaty. I choose to use a perfume spray instead and apply it onto my clothes and wash my underarms before I go out.

Obviously in the summer when the weather is hot or on a day I do exercise I do use a deodorant - Usually a spray, I used to like imperial leather but went off the smell so I now use nivea which is a gentle smell I pick one with 48 hour protection so I don't have to use it everyday. I will still apply to perfume sprays to my clothes on these days to. 

It might be worth asking if it is the feel of something there or does it sting the skin (some make my under arms sting). Usually ones that make me sting will make my skin upset and sweat more and get really red and raw.

Wow, does anyone of you manage to go into a Lush shop without holding the breath? I'm finding this impossible, even to wait for someone going in I would rather stay in some distance to the door...

Loloooloollool, So I'm not the only one! I've been in a few times with girlfriends and cousins. The bath bomb bit is like being pepper sprayed! 

Thank you, another good suggestion 

If she's really adamant she won't wear it you could see if she can get away with washing her underarms with an antiseptic soap (you can get them from chemists) every morning. It's the bacteria that are the problem so eliminate enough of those and you're probably good.

I really like Lush, I do feel stuffy after a little while in there but it's ok for me to walk in and look around. XD

Thank you all for your suggestion, she doesn’t want to use any, but needs to, so I will get a mineral stone and powder and see if she can cope with those better. Thank you

I was going to suggest the Lush powders  

Do you want to her to use it or does she? Maybe she doesn't want to use it. If she wants to use it try Lush. They do a lot of powders and bars as DragonCat16 suggested.

Have you tried stick deodorant or gel? I would recommend getting a lot of different types until you find one she doesn't mind. Perhaps also try a shop where they sell health food and that sort of thing. I think you can also get it as a powder or a cream but I'm not sure.
