For years, I’ve been using zinc oxide based deodorants. I apply it every 3-4 days. Lavalin is one brand but is fairly expensive. Another one I used was discontinued by its manufacturer. Now I buy Walgreens zinc oxide cream which is very mildly lavender scented.

I could never use just deodorant. I would look like I was gardening in AZ even in an air-conned building.

> I have been using deodorant (not antiperspirant) for years. They are common items at any grocery store I have visited, atho I will grant there are less of them than antiperspirants. Are they not easy to find in some places?

In my experience, even if there is an entire shelf full of various deodorant products, only a tiny handful are strict deodorants without anti-perspirant.

Speed stick, arm & hammer and old spice make deodorant without antiperspirant. And only in a few scents.

There are also crystal deodorants, but for me they only work for a little bit. I believe they work because they leave a small mineral film that inhibits bacterial growth.

Also isopropyl alcohol wipes will work too. Just not all day.
