I wonder about deodorant. What's in it regular deodorant and is there a better alternative to it?


I just use rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) in a spray bottle. It works great because it will disinfect the skin of my armpits, killing the bacteria that causes odors.


Really? I did not know that, although now that you say it, it does make sense. Does the alcohol stain clothes? I know my deodorant will sometimes stain my blouses.


No, the alcohol evaporates. In fact, the largest ingredient in deodorant is alcohol. Look at the ingredients on a stick, SD alcohol is listed first.
