He said that in Mexico they use lemon. Yeah well, the heat is more intense where we live and lemon just ain't gonna cut it.<BR/><BR/>I discovered last week that my when my pits smell like dead skunk the best remedy is to soak a paper towel with hydrogen peroxide and then put it in my pits. Listerine also works. It kills the funk bacteria.elasticwaistbandladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643871078268503643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-19334459506274482882008-07-18T09:00:00.000-07:002008-07-18T09:00:00.000-07:00Thanks for your kind comments on my blog.

I tried using a few organic or natural deodorants like you, but found that they either didn't work or stained my clothes though they did provide a nice lemony fragrance.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that you found something that you like and that WORKS to boot!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12644863267962605537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-42308050188974979202008-07-18T08:33:00.000-07:002008-07-18T08:33:00.000-07:00Thora--Thank you.

My husband is against anti-persperants, so we only use deoderants, but I guess my body's still full of bad things anyway. I don't eat organic fruit, either. I think I'm stock full of chemicals. He doesn't like anti-persperants, because they stain your clothing, and just deoderant doesn't.Thorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564924243186464304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-77217833312146815982008-07-17T20:13:00.000-07:002008-07-17T20:13:00.000-07:00The best diaper rash cream we've ever used is call...The best diaper rash cream we've ever used is called "Butt Paste" - so why not "funk butter"?

I'll have to see if I can find the beeswax stuff and see if swapping is even more effective. And yes, my body has that sweat-cleansing thing down. :)Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049138813340800745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-75726031359121339372008-07-17T19:03:00.000-07:002008-07-17T19:03:00.000-07:00just stopping to say, no hard feelings on the fost...just stopping to say, no hard feelings on the foster care thread. :)<BR/><BR/>also, i feel your pain on this issue. i can't stand using the nasty antifreeze/aluminum/petroleum/paraben crap. but that stuff actually works for me whereas a lot of the natural stuff doesn't. the crystal rock works for me for intermitten periods, as does tom's woodspice and lemongrass scents. avalon, nature's gate, desert essence - uh uh, not a bit. i've often considered baking soda but, yep, it's a base and base burns are terrible. the funk butter sounds very interesting; i'll have to try it. one brand that i've found that is truly free of yucky stuff is bubble and bee. they're a local company here in SLC and they make a beeswax-based deodorant that really does work and smells great. it's basically just beeswax and essential oils but it works, and unlike other natural deodorants it's never given me a rash. just a suggestion! i'm definitely going to check out funk butter, also; having a rotation of deodorants seems to work best for me. (and BTW, it's best for you to actually sweat. antiperspirants are bad news! sweating is an essential detox method for the body. the only real problem with it is stinkage. :)C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06278966723822635150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-911297461714102202008-07-17T14:15:00.000-07:002008-07-17T14:15:00.000-07:00Cool!

But the stupidly named "funk butter" is brilliantly made. No irritation at all.<BR/><BR/>When I was teaching art over at the Montessori, I walked in one day and nearly fell over from the body odor. I made a public service announcement. <BR/><BR/>"There comes a time in the lives all people when they begin to stink. This time has come for many of you. Please take a moment to sniff and ponder this evening and decide if you are among the chosen few who need to begin using deodorant. Please."<BR/><BR/>The teacher whispered, "Thank you." But, sadly, my words of wisdom had no lasting effect.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11049138813340800745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277361803634899411.post-54728325048559972622008-07-17T13:05:00.000-07:002008-07-17T13:05:00.000-07:00Oh, yeah, boy do her feet stink too... and she wea...Oh, yeah, boy do her feet stink too... and she wears open air shoes!!!!

I only live two miles away, but when the wind doth blow from the northwest... the flowers wilt... dogs moan... the very leaves fall off the trees..... in short.... It is bad. <BR/><BR/>So, on the subject of deodorants. Secret Platinum SUCKS!! And it stinks... powder scent my @$$!!! More like funkalicious galore. <BR/><BR/>AND, on the subject of the lovely baking powder.... DER, idiot, it is a freaking BASE!!!! Why didnt you just throw some freaking vinegar on there and some red food coloring and have a fake lava eruption....<BR/><BR/>Now.... Lava, there is a soap for ya.... also basic as if it was freshly sopanificated and you stuck your hand in it.... but, whoa did it take the OIL PAINTS off my brushes!!! DER, it's a BASE!!!! <BR/><BR/>Not to be judgemental or anything though.... <BR/><BR/>Speaking of judgemental... I once taught sixth grade under the most evil and viciously mean principal (and she was no one's pal)in the entire Universe. Well, we were having an issue with the boys coming in from PE second period and they thought that a heavy dousing of the lovely Brut aftershave and cologne was gonna solve what soap and water needed a chance to try. One day the HBOC came and said, "Um-um-um... someone in dis here-a room stainks.... And I aint gonna say who it is... but if I come back tomorrow and I find someone stinkin', I'm gonna tell the whole class!" Ah, the kind and benevolent, no wait, I misspelled that, malevolent words that can build the self-esteems of the youth of America.... ah... junior high, oops, I mean middle school.... Uh, I hate to add, it worked... I, being the science core teacher, took the opportunity to explain deodorant and soap and how they work... <BR/><BR/>But, wait, that tags into the whole school thing... hmmmm... could I have a secret agenda????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
