BO

[lizzybennet]

I decided to take the challenge. I bought Secret Platinum deodorant, as it has a 24-hour odor protection guarantee.

So, after a few days it became clear that my sweat glands were more formidable than the deodorant. The challenge was defeated. I now have the option of calling a 1-800 number to get a full refund. But how do I call someone and say "My BO is so strong that your puny, "platinum" strength, strong enough for a man deodorant can't touch it." It is a hollow victory, I can assure you.

I finally worked up the nerve and called the number this morning. Yay! It was an automated system. I'm going to get my refund and I didn't have to talk to a real person :)

And, just so you don't think I am freakishly sweaty and stinky, all my sisters have this same problems. We sometimes consult with each other to see what type of deodorant we are all using, trying to find the "one" that can defeat the problem. I like Arrid XX best, although it is a guys deodorant.

Aren't you glad you know all this about me now? We've just grown closer :)

You could always do a smell check on yourself, lol! No, believe me, if it was an issue, you'd know it. You'd smell yourself. Isn't this a wonderful conversation we are having, ha!

Oh yes, there are days when I can TOTALLY smell myself. And, this is going to sound gross, but I sometimes like it. I know, I'm nuts. But sometimes when I've been out in the sun, I'll smell the skin of my arm and it just smells so good, smells like home. Nice to feel at home in my own body, you know.
