While shopping on Amazon for my usual old spice bearglove smelling system, I've gotten burned with what I'm getting. I want the blue stuff and I keep getting this white stuff. I don't care if they took the aluminum off, I'm not willing to try that again. Last time I tried it my armpits got extremely irritated. I'm not a sissyfus type of person, but hey if someone was poking you in the armpits that would hurt.

So here I am thinking...hmm deodorant is the blue stuff! Antiperspirant is the white stuff. But no. Now there seems no difference. So does anyone have a good aroma deodorant that not white irritation based for me to try from Amazon?

Just a thought, if you leave the house to buy things, you can ensure you're getting the things you actually want

    LOL. No way Jose! I like to just go to work and never have to risk my life at Walmart lol. Plus you know, it's deodorant so they gotta lock it for some reason.

    Other stores than Walmart would sell Old Spice deodorant.

    Walmart locks up items that are prone to theft in the area. Different things will be locked up in different Walmart's, because different areas have different rates of theft for different things.

    Deodorant has been stolen a lot in your area if they've locked it up.

    This makes sense and believe me that it is how I think the problem is being handled. However, it's just not even 10% convenient. They might as well stop selling it because if it's locked I'm not dealing with anyone for deodorant. It's embarrassing like buying condoms when there's a huge line behind you and you're paying with change. That never happened to me, but I figured it out.

    Agreed in some cases, but I haven't been able to find the classic original formula Old Spice in stores for years. Going to stores results in a lot of wasted time and gas sometimes.

    It's not a burn if someone has limited mobility and can't "just leave the house"

    I'd be hesitant to buy anything of the sort off Amazon due to the higher possiblity of fake products. I checked target.com, and I think this is the blue gel, but there's a handful of reviewers noting burns also.

    Pretty sure the white stuff is antiperspirant while the blue is just deodorant. Most scents have both kinds and the label should say which is which. I don't sweat much myself so the antiperspirant def iritated me years ago when I bought the wrong kind.

    Yup the aluminum stuff, from what I recall is what caused my armpit rash. And this was like 2019. I'm sure there's still stock. But I couldn't help but notice that almost every brand right now is advertising "no aluminum". They probably got the message. That rash was gnarly! And obviously from the deodorant. I would not be surprised if everyone of us who used that stuff since highschool ends up getting some cancer or Alzheimer's or liver disease.

    I'm just happy to know others acknowledge that bearglove (and wolfthorne) are the best smelling wildly available deodorants. White is antiperspirant, blue is still just deodorant.

    Wolfthorne is the only deodorant I've tried that I actually like the smell of (vs just tolerating it)

    If they could figure out a way to make their antiperspirant in the same consistency as the deodorant that would be amazing. Hate the white chalky feeling shit

    I'm not sure if it's consistent but at least for the pure sport flavor, aluminum free = blue gel deodorant, otherwise it's the white chalky antiperspirant

    This is likely due to one of two things.

    1. Amazon is bucketing deodorant and antiperspirant + deodorant in the same spot so it's random what you get.
    2. A retailer mislabeled their stock and it got put in the wrong bin, so people get wrong products until all that stock is gone. Amazon comingles products so changing the seller won't help.
    3. The picker grabbed the wrong item. This probably isn't the case.

    Deodorant is blue, deodorant + antiperspirant is white in the store. It’s also all aluminum free now which sucks. I miss the aluminum deodorant gel.

    Isn't the blue kind the gel stuff? The white is the "solid" kind.

    Try out this listing: https://a.co/d/8TAr1o4

    Based on what I've been seeing what you want to look for specifically is the solid red lid, that seems to be the best indicator that it's the blue gel type deodorant, whereas the clear lid seems to indicate that it's the white antiperspirant type.

    Ive been using schmitts, but it's baking soda based just like that old spice probably is. I really loved using sweet pitti, which is unscented and uses mandelic acid. Imo, mandelic acid is the king of deodorants. Nothing is going to stop the sweat except aluminum though.

    It would be a crazy coincidence if you were allergic to something other than aluminum in antiperspirant.
