....or maybe not!

I first heard about this product on this site actually and having read a few reviews thought I would try it out for myself. I would not say I had a problem with severe excessive sweating, but when it is hot I do sweat more than I would like to and with a holiday in Benidorm coming up I wanted to try and find something that would keep me dry and confident whilst I was away.

I brought my bottle of Driclor in Boots and it cost me 5.99 for a 20ml bottle. This might sound expensive but as it is in effect a roll on deodorant of sorts, this bottle should last quite a long time. This leads me to the first gripe I have though. When you open the box it comes in, you will find that you have to actually put the bottle together. They supply you with the bottle of deodorant with a lid on it and then the roller ball separately. Whoever thought this up needs their head testing. Why on earth would you want to put something like this together yourself? You need to push the roller ball into the top of the bottle of deodorant. This is not as simple as it sounds either. The fit has to be pretty tight so it requires a lot of pressure to push the roller ball in. I slipped a couple of times (it is a ball after all) and it then got deodorant on the ball I was trying to push in, making it even more slippery. I eventually managed but the fit is not tight enough and every time I tip it up to apply it, it leaks deodorant down my hands and side. This is really frustrating as I can't get the ball out now to try again and I can't push it down any further.

Driclor is a clinically proven anti-perspirant for the treatment of excessive perspiration and is especially suitable for people who perspire under normal conditions. Well, this is what the box says anyway. I agree it does resemble a normal roll on anti-perspirant although the smell is more like veruca gel! Not very pleasant but this is not really apparent after application though thank goodness. Following the instructions in the box you should apply this at nighttime to dry, unbroken skin that has not been recently shaved. Just roll it around your armpit as you would a normal deodorant. Wash it off in the morning, apply your normal deodorant and there you have it. Apparently after a week or two of nightly applications you should be experiencing a marked improvement on the amount you sweat and then you can reduce the application to every few days.

I tried this with real enthusiasm on the first night and applied
