Brandon is 10 now and has been using deoderant for 3 years, but only under his BPI arm. Now we have a need for both arms......for some reason he sweats so much under his BPI arm and he has a wonderful amount of function !!!

Re: deoderant issues
This may not be directly related to your question but I would like to add this bit of information about deoerant..I was diagnosised with breast cancer this past June and Have been doing lots of reseach and deoderant especially with girls have been linked to breast cancer so please use it sparingly and/or try the organic/natural kinds.....

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.
Re: deoderant issues
The problem checmicals associated linked with possibly triggering breast cancer are parabens, which mimic oestrogen. Most deodorants don't contain them any more but always check the label, some still do. The biggest problem was when they were used together with underarm shaving, and many shaving products and depilatory creams contain parabens, so it's unclear which might be triggering breast cancer. Body sprays also contain them in many cases. Parabens are also in many other cosmetic products, read the labels and be safe!
