As my fingers weaken I am finding it more difficult to use spray deodorant. Does anyone know of an easy to use brand? πxx

I knew what you were going to ask by the heading lol. I'm the same re spray type. I just don't get the same exotic smells from a roll on πDiagnosed May 2021 bulbar onset als.Comment

Another vote for roll ons. I remember having trouble pushing up those stick type deodorants, too hard to twist.
When I couldn't unscrew lids, I used the Sanex roll on which handily sits upside down in its (unscrewed) lid, so it didn't dry out ππ
Of course now my lovely helpers apply it for me π₯°βDiagnosed 03/2007. Sporadic Definite ALS/MND Spinal (hand) Onset.

Ellie in a fan of sanex due to ease of use. Matthew at least you haven't the problem of how you can't get an epilator under your arm pit. This condition is so ruining my ablution standardsπ€£

Sadly I can't use a roll on as my right arm won't reach my left armpit. You couldn't make it up. πxxBulbar started Jan 2020. Mute and 100% tube fed but mobile and undefeated. Stay Strong π€ππ€πxxComment

The first visit is sometimes half hour but after that they are on 15 minutes medicine calls which involve playing on their phone while I struggle with syringes and bottles. π±ππ±πxxBulbar started Jan 2020. Mute and 100% tube fed but mobile and undefeated. Stay Strong π€ππ€πxxComment
