Since my post last month about my battle to find an effective natural deodorant, I’ve struck gold!   The Bicarbonate of Soda (or sodium bicarbonate) option has been by far the best odour controller that I’ve come across.  Instead of mixing it in a paste with lemon (this sounded just a bit sticky to me, and so I’m yet to try it out), I have been dusting some bicarb onto my armpits with an old blusher brush (throwback from the 80s).  The results are amazing, it’s very effective.  You can get bigger, cheaper containers of sodium bicarbonate from a pharmacy than you get at supermarkets.
