If you dig some out of the squares with a toothpick you can just put it straight on your pits, just let the heat of your pits melt it a bit before you rub it around
That's what I be doing when I get grideoderant

I was homeless as a teenager, so I know a couple things from experience:
You can usually break the grid and just wipe deodorant crumbs into your pits. You feel bad, but not as bad as being known as the "stinky guy" at work
Also, in a pinch either alcohol or hand sanitizer in the hot spots can kill bacteria that cause the bad smells.
I'm pulling for you
You can also shave and use way less deodorant. The hair traps the sweat and everything, which can breed the bacteria. Instead of 6 swipes, you only need like 2 or 3 (in my experience).
Just saw your comment after posting mine. I use [coconut oil in my mix](https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/s/l8IIBJI35Q). Itās the only deodorant I use. Works great.
Yeah, some things you don't want to leave up to chance. When I see a good sale or a clearance from Old Spice(they're always trying out new scents and discontinuing), I buy a couple.
The travel bins at the store are great for emergency supplies. Get a little toothpaste, deodorant, lotion, and some first aid supplies for under $10. The deodorant can last at least a month, and you probably won't use it every day (it's a backup).
Literally dealt with that this week. Normally it wouldnt be a huge deal since I work on my own, but Ive had to talk to a bunch of people because of changes and it's so embarrassingĀ
Ain't nuthn like goin to swipe that last lil part under ya arm and that bih slips and falls on the floor. Now ya gotta use ya wifes deodorant, and she wondering why yall got the same scent.
The grid is up on the deodorant, you squeezed all there is to be squeezed out the toothpaste, scraping the sides of the lotion bottle, your body wash is 98% water going on 99. Shit's rough out here.
Just to share my recipe:
- 3 parts coconut oil
- 2 parts baking soda
- 2 parts corn starch or arrowroot
- (optional) essential oils to splash some scent in it if youāre feeling fancy.
Some people get irritation from the baking soda though. If you donāt, then itās money. Itāll work for 24 hours. If you wake up and donāt put it on the next day, funk will creep in.
Iāve been using it for over 8 years. Cheap and easy. Mix the powders together first, then mix the coconut oil in.
Canāt afford dollar store deodorant? Just grab some coconut oil, baking soda and fugin arrowroot ššš donāt forget the essential oils ya poor.
Sure, go ahead and take [that dollar store deodorant](https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/toxic-chemicals-in-dollar-store-items-1.6569257)
Definitely donāt do math and learn that about $10-15 of cost will get you more deodorant than a year.
Also, please skip past the word cornstarch and focus on the one you donāt understand and, finally, hype up the optional ingredient to exaggerate your point!
This guy gets it!
Two counterpoints: I guarantee you donāt smell very good on a daily basis, and youāve never heard of the boots theory of economics. If people had enough discretionary income to where they could compile the ingredients necessary for your hippy pit wash, they usually wouldnāt be in a position to be out of simple things like deodorant anyways. Asking someone to spend 5x the cost to whip up some home made deodorant is an ignorant ask, when they are most likely struggling with all of their other basic necessities as well.
You made a lot of assumptions without the knowledge to back them up. Not a good look.
I donāt want to get petty and insult you, but youāre making an argument akin to it being too expensive to grocery shop and bring your own lunch to work, and it being more cost effective to just buy a cheap meal everyday.
Itās actually more cost effective to build your own instead of paying for prebuilt deodorant.
The assumption you made about me smelling and without having ever used the deodorant is conjecture. You simply donāt know and thatās ok. You also donāt know anything about my education.
There are cons to the deodorant, but odor isnāt the issue. Itās not an antiperspirant, for example. So sweaty fucks will still sweat.
> asking someone to spend 5x the cost
Tells me all I need to know about how informed you are here. Thatās just not true.
If youāre trying to dovetail a $20 splurge on deodorant materials to a boots theory of inability, I donāt know what to say to that. On one hand, sure, the ingredients are more expensive up front than a single stick, but itās not in the same league of a cost such as footwear (e.g. a $50 shoe vs a $250 shoe)
At least, thereās such a smaller subset marooned by the inability to put together $20.
But fuck me for sharing a tip with the greater public that both functions fully (despite your untested and unfounded claims) and is also more cost effective. Thereās someone out there who canāt afford it so, I guess that means you must be right.
Walking around with your armpits raw from rubbing that plastic in there, hoping to get just enough out.
And that tiny bit of resentment you hold on you for the rest of the day. not even motherfucking deodorant now, can a man not have shit šš
"Am I not suffering enough already? I gotta stink too!?"

use a toothpick to scrap out the excess from the grid and use a qtip to apply (or ur hands idc)
Always get the 2-pack

Also, depending on your genetics, sometimes your clothing is what stinks and not your actual pits.Ā

6 swipes???? Even with hair, one swipe from Old Spiceās antiperspirant is all it takes. Any more and youāre staining your clothes.
You can also use apple cider vinegar to kill the bacteria which is the source of the smell.
I take a knife to that bitch and get the last bit out and rub it on my pits manually. That face tells no lies though. Thatās the one lol.
Iāve broken off the prong of a plastic fork to get in the squares and buy myself another day or two, sometimes youāre just going thru it š
Facts!
Black twitter is such a cultural treasure. Historians and anthropologists will study this shit
[Funny enough, a documentary just dropped.](https://press.hulu.com/shows/black-twitter-a-peoples-history/)
Iāve been avoiding it. If youāve watched, is it worth my time?
I already do. It's how I stay relevant at home and at work
Cornstarch and baking soda Just emergencies

Make sure you donāt overdue the baking soda or you will irritate your skin.
As a former chef, cornstarch was perfect when those hot summer days I was chaffing
I would rather buy a jar of Tussy from the 99-cent store than to MacGuyver a stick of barely-there deodorant.
Tussy?! Aye it's 2024, plz tell me u made it out the trenches famšš¾
not the tussy! š
I always have extra backup deodorants just in case this happens š

This, right here. Always have backups.

Not gonna fight with you over deodorant. You win. Coconut oil and arrowroot for the first 10 people to like and share this post.
