Alright folks, let’s get real for a minute. We all have deodorant, and if we don’t, what exactly are we doing with our lives? The deodorant market is booming, raking in a casual $74 billion a year. Yep, that’s a whole lot of pits staying fresh. But here’s the thing: those pits aren’t the only game in town. Deodorant has other career aspirations, and today, we’re diving into seven other spots where it can really shine.

Brace yourselves, because your deodorant’s about to embark on a whole new course.

1. On your feet

If you’ve ever spent all day in shoes, you know the unkind betrayal of sweaty feet. Not only can it make your shoes an olfactory nightmare, but it also invites germs in for a nasty little party. Maintain good foot hygiene and give your feet a fresh start with a spritz of deodorant. Your feet (and anyone within sniffing distance) will thank you.

2. Under your breasts

Alright, ladies, listen up! If you’ve got a bit of extra love under your chest area, you know the struggle with sweat and irritation. Dr. Alexes Hazen suggests going the deodorant route under your breasts to keep things dry and comfy. If you’re wary of chemicals causing dermatitis, opt for an aluminum-free variant. Activated charcoal isn’t just for hipster detox drinks; it works wonders in keeping moisture at bay.

3. On your inner thighs

Hotter than Hades outside? Your thighs know it all too well. Whether it’s the swelter or other conditions like diabetes or anxiety, thigh sweat is real and it’s a drag. It can lead to itching, irritation, and chafing, turning the simple act of walking into a supreme struggle. Invite deodorant into your inner thigh realm and say bye-bye to the battle.

Just a friendly tip for ladies: steer clear from the sensitive areas while you’re at it.

4. On your heels

Breaking in new shoes can feel like a form of medieval torture for your heels, often resulting in painful blisters. Here’s where your trusty deodorant can moonlight as a comfort agent. Apply a small dab on your heels to reduce friction, and you just might avoid the blister blues altogether. New shoes, meet your match.

5. Anywhere on your body after shaving with a razor

We’ve all been there—shaving leads to redness, irritation, and razor bumps. Your first thought might be to reach for the aloe vera, but if you’re in a pinch, guess what? Your deodorant can help. Opt for an unscented stick to soothe the itchiness and redness, ideally something without alcohol and possibly with moisturizers.

6. On mosquito bites

Mosquitoes are the unofficial tyrants of summer. Instead of succumbing to the itch, Dr. Steven Garner suggests slapping the bite or applying an ice cube. No ice cube? No problem. Your roll-on deodorant has aluminum chloride, which can save the day by reducing the itchiness and redness.

7. On your nails to remove the polish

Who knew that deodorant could double as a nail polish remover? Acetone can dry out your nails and cuticles, so if you’re out of remover, grab your spray deodorant. Spray close to your nails and rub off the polish with a cotton ball. It might need a couple of passes, but hey, it keeps those chemicals at bay.

So there you have it! Have you tried any of these tricks? Or maybe you know of some other unconventional uses for deodorant? Let’s keep the conversation fresh!
