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 !!!

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.....

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!
