This week, and I'm not entirely sure why, I've got deodorant on the mind. Perhaps you took my deodorant quiz? All this talk of the odor-fighting product got me to thinking. In a pinch, I've shared my deodorant with only my family and closest friends, and they've shared their deodorant with me in my times of need. Sharing a toothbrush may be one thing, and sharing a razor may be another, but when it comes to swapping deodorant, are you OK with giving and/or receiving, or do you think that's the pits?

i'll share with my sister if i run out.
1hs hs I have used my hubby's- but if I have to pick off an armpit hair first then yeah, I get kind of turned off. lol.
2when my sister lived with me she would use ALL of my stuff- deoderant, toothbrush, even my underwear! It was soooo annoying!!
3I have never done it, but I guess if I needed to I would. I would just wipe the top off.
4Only as a very last-resort option. Otherwise, no. I just stick to my own deodorant.
5bf and i are long distance and sometimes i forget to pack mine and borrow his. i could keep a stick there, but i don't like leaving stuff there for some reason.
6I would if I had to, but I don't even have to wear deodorant every day in the winter.
and I absolutely cannot stand the classic Old Spice smell. One of my friends had a Ken doll when we were kids who you could shave, and he had a little bottle of old spice aftershave. I just can't think of anything but that with that smell, kind of a Proust experience.
7In a pinch, but only with someone close to me.
8Wow I was just talking about this with my friends, I guess if you really need it and you don't have your own.....
9Yep, I've borrowed from others and have let other borrow mine. Only people I'm friends with, though. I used to be part of a dance group, and usually someone would forget theirs before a show, so people would share.
10I would if it was that semi-soft kind that comes up through the dispenser...that way, you can wipe the first layer off and crank through some more to use on yourself. I've never done this, but I suppose if I were desperate, I would.
11What's THAT gross about it? I mean, it's just SKIN...
12I have used my husbands and he has used my deodorant. If I were close to that person I would share. No big deal
13I've used my hubby's and son's (the natural kind). No biggie, if it's a close relative.
14i'm with runningesq...im not sharing my toothbrush or a divacup or a diaphragm...its deodorant. with my boyfriend or with my sister or my mom; not the bum down the street, you know? i share that body shop body butter, you know the kind it tubs...OTHER PEOPLE CAN TOUCH IT TOO? OH GOD NO. i honestly had no idea that was a huge deal lol.
15.. but often people use it when they're sweaty and stuff.. that is pretty gross.. not to mention unhygienic.
16well i use an antiperspirant/deodorant. to prevent sweat in the first place. use it out of the shower and in the morning when i get up, before i go out, etc. maybe i'm weird i guess.
17I know it's just skin, but I guess it's where the skin is located that bothers me. I would never use another person's deodorant, nor would I allow them to use mine.
18However, I would provide them with a brand new stick. I'm somewhat of a product hoarder as well as a deal-seeking, couponer so I have many, many unused deodorants, like probably twenty. I also have lots of toothpaste, toothbrushes, soaps, lotions, etc. I give them away all the time. Most of them were acquired very cheaply or even free by using register rewards at Walgreens and extra bucks at CVS.
Can not do that because it's a personal thing
19yup. With my mom and sisters only.
20i'll only share spray on deodorants.
21Only if it's a spray.
22share with my mum, sister and best friend only
23i will do it if is is necessary and the deodorant have to be in spray
24The hubby - no problem (he uses a spray, anyway). Friends - depends on the situation (do I really need it?) and the friend... some are more hygenic than others.
25I've used my mum's or my sister's when I didn't have any of my own. I usually wipe it with a Kleenex before and after I use it though :/
26Only with someone I'm close with, because obviously some people think it's DISGUSTING for no real reason. If you got good hygiene you only apply deodorant to clean, freshly showered pits anyway! I've borrowed deodorant from family/bf before because I forgot to pack some. I just wiped the stick before and after and said thanks for helping me not smell rank.
27I also never let people use my lip balms or any creams in a tub or my brush and I don't like people to sleep on my pillows.
28never... i'm pretty anal about stuff like that lol. even if i don't have mine i won't use someone else's, even a family member's.
29OH yeah,That's great

30i don't think i ever have used somebody else's, since that's like the one thing i never forget, but i've let friends borrow mine. no big deal to me.
31i don't see a big deal with it.... ive shared with my mom & close friends.
32my roomie was using mine for a month. its kinda gross so finally i just bought myself a new one and hid it for my own use
