It is not an ANTI-Perspirant, but I find that I actually sweat LESS using the oil.

(I've always been a champion sweater, so this was a surprise -- something in the a/p actually MAKES me sweat MORE?!)

Interesting! I may have to try this b/c I'm a champion sweater as well! I'm off work for a while so it'll be good to try out, I also about once a month get the swollen nodules too and they hurt!

Really???? I've never heard anyone else admit to the cranky pit nodes... Good to know I'm not alone with that. LOL!

Let me know how you like the CO as a deo. I swear by it, about 90% of the time... Using commercial a/p for "important occasions."

Yep, I do and they hurt! For some reason i've never thought about deo. causing it, I'm gonna give it try, i'm guessing organic coconut oil? about how much do you use?

I have organic, cold-pressed, fair-trade... blah, blah, blah Coconut Oil that I cook with in the kitchen cupboard. I put a tablespoon or so into a little container to set in the restroom. I use a little-pea sized dollop on the end of a finger and slather it generously in each pit.
I was worried about it transferring a greasy stain into my clothing, but haven't seen any evidence - it must come out in the wash.
