Dravin Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Yep, the poll you've all been waiting for! Either that or I'm sick in the head, a very distinct possibility. On with the show. Quote
Dravin Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 Wow, people are actually voting, I was half expecting this thread to be thoroughly ignored. Quote
DigitalShadow Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I go for gel based. It's more of a glide than a spray or roll. Quote

NeuroTypical Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 My dog wants me to ask why there's no "roll in a dead fish" choice. Quote
Moksha Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 I go for gel based. It's more of a glide than a spray or roll. Right on. That is the only type that is effective. Hated those goopy roll-ons. Ever try Thai sticks? Quote
Moksha Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Perhaps I should have asked about usage of a Thai stone rather than Thai sticks. Long live the solid gels! Quote
LostSheep Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Hmm...this thread seems....useful....I would say something, but I've posted way more pointless threads than this. Anyway. Looks like I'm on the winning side. Stick. Quote
havejoy Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 i'm one of the lucky ones that don't need itYeah.....Um.....I've been meaning to talk to you about that... Quote
Mahonri Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Yeah.....Um.....I've been meaning to talk to you about that...Guess we know who the lone vote is! Quote
FunkyTown Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Currently, I'm using spray. I hate it, but it was all the convenience store had when I ran out. Gimme a gel any day. Quote
Dravin Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Posted July 8, 2009 Guess I know who the other spray vote was then. Sticks give me a rash, was annoying as I was fine with them until about 6 months into my mission and then my body started hating me twasn't long before it looked like my pits were made of raw hamburger. I haven't tried any of the gel though to see if it would work, quite frankly I don't mind the spray it works fine and all that jazz its just more expensive and a little less portable. Quote
Wingnut Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Roll-on is not the same as a stick. Roll-on is goopy liquid that oozes over and around a rolling ball, much the way a ball-point pen writes. A stick is a solid chunk of...well, I'm not sure of what, but it's solid. Quote
Dravin Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) I suppose I'm guilty of not being particularly technical with my deodorant/antipersperant terminology, least I got the poll itself broken down as intended. Edited July 8, 2009 by Dravin Quote
Truegrits Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 I use an aluminum-free "rock" deodorant. (I am the "other" vote...) Quote
Prodigal_Son Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 ...my body started hating me twasn't long before it looked like my pits were made of raw hamburger.Awesome mental picture!I actually wear one of my wife's bras packed full of cedar chips. Quote
miztrniceguy Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Right on. That is the only type that is effective. Hated those goopy roll-ons. Ever try Thai sticks?i thought Thai stick was something you smoke....if i recall from high school daze. Quote
miztrniceguy Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 dravin...was it speed stick? i must be allergic to something in that brand...does the same thing to me. now i use right guard gel. Quote
Dravin Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) dravin...was it speed stick? i must be allergic to something in that brand...does the same thing to me. now i use right guard gel.Old Spice (deoderant) to begin with, than I tried Right Guard, Arm and Hammer, Tom's (I think), Degree and even some no name stuff because it was on sale and I figure it wouldn't break the bank to try it (I also am probably forgetting some I've tried), at one point I was having to put hydrocortisone cream on my pits because of how bad the rash was getting (and that was even more expensive). Now admittedly that's only a handful of brands (and interestingly enough I use the Degree spray) but that darn stuff costs money and I hate to spend money experiementing, using a stick two or three times finding out it causes me to rash and having it just sit there mournfully in the bathroom until I toss it (I could use trial sized but those still cost money). So I just use the spray and don't experiment anymore.The thing that surprised me is it just happened, if it'd always caused a rash I'd think nothing of it but after having used sticks and gels for several years without complication to have it just start up had me scratching my head and to a lesser degree still does.
