It seems like I’ve spent my entire life trying to stop sweat. No really. I have. I remember as a teen stuffing tissue into my armpits to dry them on quick trips to the restroom while out with friends. It was a regular occurrence and so frustrating. Sadly, several times I forgot to pull the tissue out before I returned to the table and sometime in the next hour or two that wad of tissue would fall from its hiding place and hit the floor. Yes, that was a disaster. As someone who’s never needed to stuff her bra, I’m sure my dinner companions were wondering what the heck I was up to. Thankfully, no one ever said anything, but I still cringe thinking about it.
My desire to stay dry has made me hold my arms out away from my body which created a weird and awkward stance. It’s made me retreat to my car to turn on the fan to full blast to dry my shirt on lunch breaks. I’ve even resorted to using hand-dryers in public bathrooms to keep me from having embarrassing wetness stains. I thought my troubles were over when they invented “clinical strength” antiperspirants, and for the most part they were, until I discovered the health issues associated with some of the ingredients used in them.
So I switched to a natural deodorant and while repeated applications throughout the day kept the bacteria that cause underarm odor at bay, the wetness was still a problem. Because I value my health more than being dry, I stuck with it when I was around the house, but used clinical strength anti-antiperspirant when I left home. But it looks like I may have finally found the perfect answer for me. A natural product with no artificial colors or fragrances, no preservatives, no animal products, and not tested on animals that promises to keep me odor-free AND dry!
This new Women’s Naturally Dry Antiperspirant I’m trialing is from one of my favorite natural personal care products companies, Tom’s of Maine. They’re are a company dedicated to making great products without all of the harmful chemicals most brands use. I believe in them so much that I already use their anti-plaque and whitening fluoride-free toothpaste and aluminum-free deodorant and I heartily recommend both.
Does Tom’s of Maine Naturally Dry Antiperspirant Work?
Yes! Plus it goes on clear and doesn’t leave embarrassing deodorant marks and has a very gentle smell. The texture is nice and creamy and it goes on easily without dragging. I’m loving the way it feels and works.
I do have one small concern though about the Tom’s of Maine Women’s Naturally Dry Antiperspirant. It uses naturally sourced potassium alum and zinc citrate and while I’ve tried to eliminate all alum (aka aluminum) from my personal care products, this form of alum is a natural mineral salt whose molecules are thought to be too large to be absorbed through the skin as readily as the aluminum in standard brands. That said, I’ll continue to use their aluminum-free deodorant for everyday use and the Tom’s of Maine Women’s Naturally Dry Antiperspirant when wetness might be an embarrassment. That allows me to minimize my total exposure to chemicals which some studies have linked to breast cancer and Alzheimer’s, while staying dry when it’s necessary.

Tom’s of Maine & Amazon Prime
So where can you buy Tom’s of Maine Women’s Naturally Dry Antiperspirant? I bought it from Amazon.com, as I do all of my Tom’s products, and since I have an Prime Membership, my 2-day shipping was free!
Don’t have Amazon Prime? Oh my, are you missing out! Not only do I get free 2-day shipping on most orders, I get free unlimited streaming of music, movies, and TV including Amazon Studio Originals. I also take advantage of their Subscribe & Save program which allows me to save even more money by setting a delivery schedule on qualifying products (I can cancel at any time).
Yes, there is a yearly fee of $99 for an Amazon Prime Membership, but if I order a few times a month and I order heavy items, so I make that membership price up in just a few deliveries. In fact, I ran out of Tom’s toothpaste so I ordered it TODAY and for $5.99 they DELIVERED it TODAY! Yep, Prime pays off in so many ways.
Tom’s of Maine and Amazon Prime is a marriage made in heaven for me. I can get the natural products I demand, shipped right to my home in just two days – win/win!
Have you tried Tom’s of Maine? I’d love to know which of their products you recommend.
Now that’s quick delivery! I love Amazon Prime. #client
I’m a bit addicted. I think they deliver 2-3 times a week and I LOVE same day delivery. 🙂
I will have to try Amazon Prime. You had me laughing with the stuffing your bra comment. You are right though, I won’t use any deodorant that will be toxic to me. I’m going to be checking this one out.
I feel like a dork because I’ve never heard of this but I’m really curious…did it work that great? I live in Phoenix and more than half the year we sweat like crazy out here and I end up doing that air under the arm thing in my truck too
Yes! I actually even like the powered scent though I’ve avoided it most of my life. This is softer and doesn’t linger like most. If you try it, let me know how you like it.
I have been happy with every Toms product that I’ve tried. I’m definitely going to order the antiperspirant!
I used this when I was pregnant. I always loved Tom’s. They never disappoint.
Do you know if they sale this at Walgreen’s? I thought I had seen it there one time. I could be wrong though. I would love to try some products.
I’ve heard good things about Tom’s but haven’t tried it yet. It’s on my list though! Thank you for reminding me to look for it!
Tom’s is sold in many large supermarkets and discount stores. I just buy mine from Amazon because they arrive within 2 days. 🙂
I love the Tom’s products. We have the toothpaste and the kids really like the flavor.
Their toothpaste is the only kind I’ll use. Peppermint is my fav 🙂
I have been nervous about the switch but am ready to go with Tom’s of Maine. We already use their toothpaste. THIS version might make the transition easier. I’ll pick some up later today!
I haven’t tried a Tom’s product I haven’t loved. Great stuff.
Ive never seen this version of the Toms of Maine deodorant! WIll have to keep my eye out!
I am a huge Tom’s fan! I actually am using this deodorant right now and love it!
Delighted to hear Tom’s provided you relief with a ton of chemicals.
I have honestly never tried Tom’s antiperspirant before, but after reading this I may consider it. I also hadn’t even THOUGHT to use my Amazon Prime account to get stuff like deodorant (and other health & beauty). You have totally turned my world upside down now haha Love it!!
Oh, I use my Prime account 2-3 times a week! I have Subscribe & Save for toilet paper, paper towels, and cleaning supplies. Plus now they have Get It Today for $5.99 and it really does get here today! 🙂
