This may be my most random post so far, but I am here to help the people. So here goes:

If there’s ever been a time in your bath/shower career that you’ve wondered how to get rid of pesky deodorant residue, never fear!

I shudder when I think about the amount of water and elbow grease I’ve wasted trying to rid my pits of that sticky residue from a day’s antiperspirant application. I tried everything from shampoo to baking soda to sea and sugar salt scrubs to plain old multiple scrubbings with harsh soaps. Then one day it hit me to try a simple product that lurked in my medicine cabinet…and it worked!!

Are you ready? Hemorrhoid medicated wipes/pads! I use the generic store brand and it’s worked the same as when using the more expensive brand named products. Right before showering, wipe your arm pits with a pad and abracadabra! It’s like magic! After every shower or bath, I feel like I’m starting off fresh rather than as if I’m applying a layer of deodorant/antiperspirant on top of the residual layer from the previous day. What’s good about these pads is that they have so many other uses such as make up removal, cleaning oily build up from your face to fight acne, not to mention their original use…hemorrhoids! Still, the fact that they help my arm pits feel fresh and give my pores a breather until the next antiperspirant application is enough of a reason for me to keep these babies stocked. I would guess that witch hazel and a soft cloth could work just as well (that’s the active ingredient in the pads), but i’m far too lazy to be bothered with the extra work, not to mention the pads are flushable.

I do hope this helps someone! Now back to your regularly scheduled programming!
