Product Review - Tom's of Maine Original Deodorant Stick

I first tried this product when I spent a few days helping at a friend's smallholding in Wales last year, and it kept this moderately large hairy man smelling sweet all weekend despite a fair amount of exertion. I was aware of the link between aluminium exposure and Alzheimer's, so when I got home I checked the Essential catalogue and was pleased to find it in there.

Tom's of Maine stick deodorant dries quite quickly, doesn't leave residues on clothing and is available in woodspice (my favourite), calendula, honeysuckle and unscented, and there's a roll-on option too although I've not tried it. Best of all the pack lasts a surprisingly long time.

My old Gillette clear gel (£2.63 in Boots) used to last about two months; my Tom's stick lasts almost four months – yes, really – and retails for £3.72 in a nearby healthfoods shop in Dorchester, but we're able to buy them through the food co-operative in packs of six for £2.65 each. Bargain!

Yup - with you on this one; the calendula one is my current favourite. :)

Totally agree - have switched all my products like this to organic/non-chemical.
