Do You Ever Use Other People's Deodorant?

October 17, 2009

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 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.

Only 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.

I'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 :/

The 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.

I 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. However, 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.

well 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.

.. but often people use it when they're sweaty and stuff.. that is pretty gross.. not to mention unhygienic.
