StinkySpicy Pit Lube - The Best Money can Buy! Women will finally be attracted to you due to your chemical smell! Get some today!

So I am in a musical right now and the men’s dressing room smells like a bucket of body-odor and onion soup.  It’s pretty nasty.  I however am not a contributor to the stench and figured I would share my secret.  In their defense performing is high stress and it gets hot on stage under those bright lights.  Now this is a rare find and it will be difficult to believe since you have been so heavily influenced by advertising and conspiring marketers to avoid something so simple and use some fatty, chemical, perfume-ish grease.  How great would it be to have super cheap deodorant, that outperformed anything out there, and it is natural, safe, and free of chemicals?

I dare you to drop the crappy-working stuff you currently use to keep your pits smelling fresh. You know your deodorant sucks right?  You actually start sweating and minutes later you smell like fresh cut onions sprinkled with garlic salt.  Why? Because your arm pits have turned into a bacteria fest amplified by sweat.  You are probably dying to know by now, but I don’t want to tell you yet because it is so simple that you might not try it.

I have tried the “natural” deodorants, the name brand junk, and nothing works better than this!

The Wish-list

Now in order to really make you appreciate how great this is I want to present a near impossible wish-list for a deodorant.  In order to prevent body odor, you must first prevent bacteria.  First, realize that bacteria have a difficult time growing in an alkaline environment.  So we need a substance that is alkaline or alkalizing.  We also need a substance that is safe for the body even though it kills bacteria, perhaps a substance that is at least edible in small quantities.  Additionally, why not choose a substance that is a powerful tried and true cleanser to keep you feeling clean.  And finally, let’s find something that is a powerful odor eater using ions like the ionic air purifiers and has anti-fungal properties.  Also let’s make it a simple powder for ease of application and so it never is
sticky to cause a rash or rubbing.

The Natural, Ionic, Antiseptic, Anti-fungal, Alkalizing, Miracle Powder

Bob's Red Mill Aluminum Free Baking Soda

Bob's Red Mill Aluminum Free Baking Soda

Ready to appreciate it?  It is sodium bicarbonate also known as baking soda.  All sodiums are ionic wonders, but it is easier to apply the powder of baking soda than salt.  Also salt deodorants suck from my experience, because they have been exposed or combined with stuff that eventually negated their ionic charge. Even baking soda deodorants suck because they have combined the baking soda with liquids and compounds that kill its effectiveness. Purity equals effectiveness.

It’s not that simple

Now you can’t just use any baking soda.  You really need to make sure it is Aluminum Free.  This is important because aluminum is a man-made substance that causes all sort of problems.  Also remember that skin is not rubber, it absorbs anything you put on it into your blood, so eliminating unnecessary chemicals is a good idea.  You can pick it up in most health food stores or if you are lucky in the baking aisle of your grocery store.  I use Bob’s Red Mill Aluminum Free Baking Soda.

Salt that loses is savor?

Another tip is to make sure you have it in an airtight container so it doesn’t absorb junk and lose its effectiveness. I use a small travel shampoo bottle with a flip top lid and I make sure to snap it shut after use.

So now are you excited to try it?  You don’t need to use much and I haven’t had any problems with clothing issues.  I just pour some powder on my hands and rub it into my pits and then rinse of my hands.  Done!  I do that in the morning and when I am done with my musical performance and get home around 10 or 11pm I still smell great.

You want to try it?  Feeling lazy?  Buy it here on Amazon. How cool would it be if you would experiment and then come back and report in the comments (and then share this tip with your B.O. buddies)?

    I just had to try this and it really works! Thanks for the tip…I found that mixing the powder with a little bit of water helps so you don't have to use as much and it makes it less abrasive. Thanks to you there are two less smelly pits in the world! Keep up the good work!

    Jeff, you have taken a bold step outside of the conspiring marketers
    grasp and their greasy pit lube. I feel so proud! If you are using
    the brand I recommended it is pretty soft stuff… I put it on dry as
    powder by putting it on my hand and then patting it into my armpits.
    I wouldn't store the stuff wet, because I use it for other things as
    well and want it to stay powerful. I just did a sweaty weight-lifting
    worked-out at the end of a long hot day in my office with a crappy old
    air conditioner and I still smell like, well… nothing.

    I have the same brand as you. I guess I got a little ambitious when I first tried it and gave myself a rash but have had no problems when adding water. I just put the powder in my hand then add water mix and apply. It works great both ways, dry or wet. I have also tested it with long sweaty work outs and it still works like a charm. Amazing! You're right, it smells like nothing. It's a little strange to have no smell at all.

    What else do you use this stuff for? Mouthwash?

    I tried your suggestion of using Baking Soda for toothpaste and its been amazing. So we decided to try your other advice and we have been amazed. I have been using nothing but Baking Soda for deodorant for over a month now and its been amazing. I am a big guy (thats a nice way of saying I am overweight) and I have had no problems with BO since starting with Baking Soda. Even with regular deodorant I would be a little smelly by the end of the day. This stuff. Nothing.

    I…. have a fleeting suspicion this is extremely fake. Baking soda does work as an amazing deodorant and toothpaste- if placed within a suspension of some kind. Baking soda being extremely basic can interfere with natural acids in the body and cause clogged pores and ingrown hairs, it’s usually best to add a soothing suspension to keep it from being too gritty. Same with toothpaste too much abrasion equals exposed nerves and being too basic prevents acidic saliva enzymes from breaking down starches correctly. It sounds like a commercial plug for a specific brand name baking soda.

    “Aluminum is a man-made ingredient” being a specifically ignorant of chemistry quote.

    The worst thing for a company is a well educated customer, and being well educated means asking questions till you get to the answers.

    By all means if this works for you without harmful effects than use it. I however had serious breakouts and burning sensations after using pure baking soda (aluminum free) and would never let it touch my teeth.
    If you have trouble with your deodorant try different ingredients, like alcohol free, aluminum free and so forth. I’ve used Chanels alcohol containing deodorant for a while and besides the burning feeling in the beginning, I do stay odor-less for a long period.
