    Lynx is about €3 I noticed Vive for 69 cent.
    It comes in Vivid and Galactic.

    Quick question would you use it along shower gel for €1.29?

    It surely can't be much different to Lynx?

    I'd use the €1.29 shower gel alright. As for deodorant, tend to avoid the Lynx type stuff in favour of the more standard Nivea type brands.

    Eau de sweaty bollocks is grand. It's free too.

    Anything, literally anything, is better than Lynx.

    I'd use a brillo pad or a bit washing up liquid.

    Likewise, I do use Mitchum deodorant though, always look for it in Tesco on special offer.

    The Vivid one is actually exactly the same as Lynx Africa.

    The Nivea one is cheaper than Lynx, and has the added advantage of not making you smell like a nacker who paints over his underarm crust

    I can't wait 'til payday so I can buy some deodorant.


    Roll on Friday!!!

    The difference between body spray and anti-perspirant is something that far too many grown man seem incapable of grasping.

    I think they can grasp it just fine, it's the letting go is the problem.

    You can smell them before you see them.

    I think I use that shower gel, or at least something similarly priced from Aldi.

    It does the job, I'm not look for something fancy when I'm scrubbing my pits.

    use showergel from aldi/lidl al the time, its fine.

    Still prefer branded deo's like sure. usually can get them in the euroshop or tesco for <€2 but have used aldi when i had to.

    Ah one's as good as the next for my purposes.

    Which is namely holding a lighter to the can and pretending I'm doing Street Fighter-esque fireballs out the back garden.

    LOL at thinking some can of air will make you attractive, don't you know it's all about that face?

    Well according to what I read on the "Life in Ballyhaunis" blog the Vivid stuff is pure fanny magnet, they gave it 9 briquettes out of ten, the Galactic not so much!!

    As for the shower-gel, well its been re-branded as Bath Lubricant, the shower part was confusing the local folk!

    I'd absolutely buy a Vive if it cost 69c.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I don't use deodorant. It's made from toxic waste.

    Soap is soap, I'm not convinced one soap is better than another. As long as it lathers up that's all that matters.

    Great read :D, but I was more of a Brut man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 975 ✭✭✭eurokev


    they have a shower gel for about 69c too and it's perfect. The deodorant is crap tho. Stains clothes and clings to your skin. I buy dove or nivea when on offer in multiples

    Hadouken!

    Use a non-descript antiperspirant on the pits myself and a bit of CK BE/Hugo Boss or whatever is to hand on the torso.

    So, if there wasn't a bang off it, I'd throw it under the arms.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 710 ✭✭✭MrMorooka


    Yes, I use that one, and I use the 79c shower gel they sell next to it. No one has ever complained, I have no problems with them, so why would I waste money?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,988 ✭✭✭mikeym


    I use sex panther cologne.

    60% of the time it works every time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,504 ✭✭✭Polo_Mint


    I use Old Spice Deodorant & Old Spice Shower Gel

    Is that bad?

    I wouldn't use a body spray and I don't know much about the Aldi deodorant, but probably wouldn't use either.

    I'd try and use the least invasive and sensitive deodorant I can find... and I wear the bare minimum at that. Mostly for the sake of other folk who might be near me!

    The Body shop, Vasaline and Sanex type brands is what I go for.

    Deodorants deodorise and antiperspirants stop the sweat being produced... There's nothing wrong with sweating so I avoid harsh antiperspirants... Body spray is pretty unnecessary if maybe you might actually wash yourself from time to time :pac:

    I never got all the hate for Lynx Africa, been using it since I was a teenager and I've never had any complaints?

    The "Revive" stuff in Tesco for 50 cents, it's like that Original Source shower gel, phew! :D
