Articles in the press and on the Internet have warned that underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause breast cancer. The reports have suggested that these products contain harmful substances, which can be absorbed through the skin or enter the body through nicks caused by shaving. Some scientists have also proposed that certain ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants may be related to breast cancer because they are applied frequently to an area next to the breast.\n\nHowever, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are not aware of any conclusive evidence linking the use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants and the subsequent development of breast cancer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which regulates food, cosmetics, medicines, and medical devices, also does not have any evidence or research data that ingredients in underarm antiperspirants or deodorants cause cancer.

Most deodorant products contain aluminum. In large amounts aluminum can be harmful for people with kidney disease. However, minimal amounts of aluminum are absorbed into the bloodstream as long as the deodorant is applied to the skin as directed. Aluminum and aluminum-containing products do not have any effect on kidney stones

Leaving off your antiperspirant may help.\nAntiperspirants work by diverting water away from the sweat glands where it is applied. The perspiration has to go somewhere so more is excreted through your other pores.\nYou could apply antiperspirant to your face, it works on most skin surfaces, but I suspect this would be particularly uncomfortable, possibly obvious and interfere with any makeup you may wish to apply.

Yes they are toxic.  Many lysol products have the chemical ingredient that make up part of the compound Agent Orange that was used during the Vietnam war to kill the follage.  Many household cleaners are on the registered pesticide list too.  It is a know fact that women who stay at home are 50% more likely to develop breast cancer than women who work outside the home as they are exposed to more cleaning chemicals at home.  Also a product that kills 50% of lab animals is still considered to be non toxic.  By law, a manufacturer can develop a product with any kind of chemical ingredient if it is intended for use in the home.  Pretty scary isn't it?

Actually they are the same except for the scent.  ANTIPERSPIRANTS, however are entirely different.  Men and women have different chemical make-ups.  A men's anitperspirant will not neutralize a woman's sweat glands and vice versa.

Don't use botox. Get the anti-perspirant Certain Dri. You will never sweat from your underarms, hands, or feet. Eliminates all odor. Has no smell. Has no residue so it does not stain your clothes at all. It is a roll on you can get at any drug store in the anti-perspirant section. You put it on at night. Go to sleep. Wake up and take a shower. The residue of the deoderant is gone, but you don't sweat or smell at all for a couple of days. And when I say you don't sweat or smell I mean it. I go to the gym and my shirt gets soaked except for under the arms. That is how well it works. I have used the product for over a decade, and have had no unhealthy skin responses from using it.

hi the plain and simple reason is cos unlike other parts of our bodies, our private parts are not exposed to air. so scrub as hard as u may they get hot and damp during the day. that's why we use deodorant under our arms. its the same way guys when they dont shave their underams even when they use the most expensive perfume/deodorant get an odour soon after.\nso the advice is little and simple, shave off as much hair as u can from ur private parts and for guys, u could ty using dustin powder, the sort used in diapers, so u'd keep ur private parts cool and fresh. pants are already hot enough coupled with the briefs/boxers u have to wear...\ncheers.\nP.S In summary it doesnt mean the guy is dirty, he just didnt know the hairs were an impediment to his desire for a fresh aura...

I used it for about 1 week and the glands in my armpits swelled up like oranges. Dr. told me it was because I couldn't sweat and the glands were holding all of it in- could lead to dangerous infection ....... I'll let u decide

The best one out there is called Certain-Dri.  They have kind of low-budget commercials on television.  It's very powerful and you only put it on before you go to sleep.\n\nIt works AMAZINGLY well.  I don't wear regular antiperspirant at all anymore.  Just a swipe or two of this every other night (don't put it on the day you shave your underarms - ouch!) and I'm good to go with no wetness, and most importantly, absolutely no odor.

Actually it is best not to use any underarm deodorant if possible.Most contain Aluminum Zirconium and other chemicals which are not good for your skin.I have heard on the news that some of these chemicals are being tested to see if they cause breast cancer.Bath and Body Works is a store you may have heard of that sells all kinds of body sprays and more natural deodorant products.

Yes, because I have pets and their health is valuable to me, along with my own health and safety.  Not only that, we need more products that don't hurt the environment.  We don't need to be breathing chemicals in our houses.  I'm a cancer survivor and I'm a firm believer that environmental hazardous products cause about 90% of cancers, whether it be aluminium in deoderant to ammonia in cleaners.  I feel it breaks down the body's natural defenses to illness.
