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?

You're looking for deodorant GEL

I just did a search with that term and I get the same lowsy results. They show many pictures of the container, even one with dimensions and an arm for size comparison because I always check to make sure my deodorant is not 3 gallons size. But color of actual useful material? Nah! The buyers would never want to know! That's crazy talk lol.

Strangely that exact listing in your image has pictures of both, the picture with the lid off showing the regular white stick, but some of the profile shots show the clear lid that is typically used on the gel product...I can also see Amazon says this product is frequently returned

Exactly! They got reviews going like "it's awesome I put it on my soup and it tastes great" with a picture of the blue stuff, then a few other pictures and bam! It's the white stuff! Like WTF!

This one is interesting because "83 thousand people bought it" Native Deodorant | Natural Deodorant for Women and Men, 72 Hour Odor Control, Coconut & Vanilla https://a.co/d/0DeiUjn

Lowsy results

Future reference, the word you’re looking for here is β€œlousy”.

Stay fresh!
