My New Favorite Deodorant

I am a creature of habit.  I like doing things the same way, at the same time every day, and if my routine gets interrupted, for whatever reason, I get a little cranky.  I am also loyal.  When I find a product that I love, I never buy anything else.

That said, I think it is time for me to make some changes.  Why, you ask?  Well, I received two deodorant samples in the mail to try, and they were not my normal brand.  I have been using the same deodorant since I started wearing it as a teen, so I was a little nervous about switching.

Let me tell you, this Suave deodorant smelled really good!  I have always used a "powdered" scent, because perfume bothers me.  This deodorant was "wild cherry blossom" scented, but not too strongly.  There was just a hint of fragrance, which was really nice.  I decided to take this deodorant with me on vacation last weekend, and I really put it to the test.  After a day of walking around Dollywood in the heat, I still smelled a little like a cherry blossom, and I was dry, too.  I have to say I was pretty impressed, and will most likely buy Suave in the future.

That was my experience, but like I said, they sent me two samples.  The other one was for Kasi.  Unlike most teens, she was excited to try a new deodorant.  At 13, she has been using deodorant for a couple of years already, and thankfully she is pretty good about wearing it every day.  I am lucky in that my kids still love to tell me everything about their lives, and we talk about everything.  As far as I know, we have no secrets.  So even on the rare occasions when Kasi comes home a little stinky, I can let her know about it without hurting her feelings.  She has been using the Degree deodorant for about a week now, and she loves it.  It smells feminine, but like the Suave, it is not overpowering.  She has come home every day stink free, and dry.  I am pretty sure she will request I buy her a new one once this one runs out, and I will be happy to.

For those parents who would like more information, Unilever has a website called DontFretTheSweat.com.  It is here that parents can find information about talking with their kids about the changes going on with their bodies, and how to find the right deodorant for their specific needs. I also found some pretty awesome coupons.  I am all about saving money, especially when it is on a product that I love.

And I think I can honestly say that I love this deodorant.
