    i get the antiperspirant deodorant with the most aluminum salts, and it happens to be 96h. I don’t know if it truly holds for 96h because I shower daily and I also know that aluminum salts might contribute to issues later in life (or at least there used to be lots of scary headlines about aluminum salts and cancer, but that seems to have subsided a bit and nowadays the consensus is that they’re not an issue, at least without a causal link), but I truly hate the feel of sweat on my skin. Aluminum salts block the sweat glands so sweat can’t come out, and they’re truly effective.

      re: the aluminum salts

      I hate that its become harder and harder to find antiperspirants as people have become more concerned with the negative health effects of the aluminum salts. I’d switch immediately to another type of antiperspirant but companies have just stopped selling them at all together rather than coming up with an alternative

      I’m not even that sweaty of a person but regular deoderant doesn’t work well for me

      I used to buy only antiperspirant until I was out on a very hot day for about 4 hours and got heat rashes on both armpits from the sweat trying to get out but being unable to. Apparently that’s not a great thing. Rash lasted for like 3 weeks too. So just be careful when you use antiperspirant.
