Salt of the earth deodorants are good.

I won’t be adjusting anything until at least the new year. I still have this odour so it might take a while to go and I need to prove to myself that it does go!

OHH.  Postmeno3!  Was the Postman aware

Oh we loves a meander we does

Hi.
I just want to jump in here with a thought. Are you able to turn this into a positive in that the reaction is a sign that something, which may just need tweaking, is actually working? What do you think? When I first started T, no-one was safe from my relentless, lustful thoughts! Several times a day, including the postman, but at least it was a reaction which soon subsided with tweaking. it was exhausting! I hope this makes you smile. 😊

Hi postmeno, This is just hilarious and did make me smile! I do see what you mean. I feel alright now, I think I just got a bit of a shock! I do think I will be trying the T again next year sometime at a lower dose but for now I just want to have a relaxing holiday. Thanks for posting!

Hi ladies

I’ve come to the conclusion that natural deodorant does not work on me anymore and am testing some antiperspirants so if anyone can recommend a good one I’d be most grateful! I’ve got sure and Mitchum roll on at the moment.

I've only ever used an antiperspirant, a normal deodorant would never be strong enough for me. This thread has been of interest to me as I do remember in my 50's having to try a stronger deodorant like Mitchum because nothing else was working. 

Now older I am doing ok on Dove antiperspirant and can get away with every other day, perhaps hormonal change can have quite an effect on our sweat glands.

I use 'dove' anti-perspirant when ever I am going to be in a closed environment or anywhere where my anxiety levels = more sweating.

[Katherine]

That’s interesting Ayesha. I am currently testing a Mitchum roll on so fingers crossed that will work for me. I do like the smell of the Dove more though. I wish we had had a meno module at school so we could have been prepared for all this!

 I like the smell of Dove, the soap is nice too.

As is the bubble bath ........... 

[Katherine]

Ooh not tried the bubble bath, might have to 

[CLKD]

I find a lot of nice products in Charity Shops after the New Year ;-).

I also note that my clothing doesn't smell even when I'm aware that my underarms are whiffy 

[Katherine]

Mitchum’s doing well so far. Lasted all day. I’ve noticed I’m sweating a lot lately, much more than usual. It feels like hot flushes. But still on 3 pumps gel. I think the T has upset things.

Hi Katherine, I know of several women, me included who've had the same unpleasant reaction to testosterone, please don't worry though it's not irreversible.  If you decide to try it again I agree with the suggestion to try a lower dose.  I found no more than a petit pois sized blob was ample, but that said I'm a very small woman & it may also depend on how much you are able to produce for yourself - I have no ovaries so inadequate T of my own.  Worth experimenting with for the many benefits it brings those of us who need it.

Thanks Wrensong, I found your post very informative and reassuring. I do feel like the smell is fading a bit. After reading of all the potential benefits in this thread ( there are far more than I was aware of) and the fact that several people are saying the smell goes, I think I will try T again  sometime in the new year. I’m so glad I posted about this. X
