product 1: deodorant

OK, this is an anonymous blog: I can be honest. I think I sweat more than the average person. Really I do. On a given summer day, no matter how many swipes I’ve taken with my roll-on or easy-glide or extra-strength deodorant, I’ll sweat right through it.

I’ve tried, I’m not kidding, dozens of deodorants. Dry Idea, Teen Spirit, Ban, Suave… you name it, it’s probably sitting up in my bathroom cabinet somewhere.

It got so bad, in fact, that I told my best friend about it on the phone one day. What deodorant do you use? I asked her. Tell me it works.

Maybe she was trying to make me feel better, but she said she knew exactly what I meant. She’d been searching, too, without success. We resolved to combine our efforts. Surely something would satisfy.

Well, about a month ago, she called me—she’s a good friend, as you can tell—to say she’d found the one. She’d asked her sister-in-law, her friend, a random person, and a particular brand, right down to the scent, came up: Secret Platinum, in the invisible solid, in the Jasmine Orient scent. She tried it, she tested it and voila: success.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and fully agree. I don’t think I’ll ever switch—hallelujah! Ask me to pay whatever you want, Secret, I’m sold!

BTW: one more tip—don’t, don’t, don’t get a different version of this brand. It has to be the invisible solid. Don’t ask me why.
