Because deodorants don't do much when trying to mask the stink.... and anti-perspirants cause a horribly itchy rash, I came across this remedy by another mama on mothering.com. It is the only thing that I have found that actually works (and I have tried every natural brand on the market including the crystal) and it's so easy to make.

Note: I call this "goo" because in the hotter weather it takes on a liquid form and in cooler weather a more solid form. In the future, when making a batch in the summer, I might add only 5 Tbsp of coconut oil so that it won't be so liquidly.
I've heard that you can also add shea butter to give it a thicker consistency. :)
