Many thanks for the responses to my query about the name of the anti-perspirant for use on the limbs of clients wearing silicone liners.
Here are the responses I received:
The anti-perspirants I reference are Drysol (by prescription), Alma, Zerac, and Secret Platinum brand unscented. These are always in a roll-on form and should be applied at night, two coats preferred to ensure proper coverage and drying.
Use whatever anti-perspirant client uses on underarms
Certain-Dri. It is available over the counter, but you may need to ask the
pharmacist for this product.
In Australia we advise the use of Prantal powder - a strong
antipersperant which MUST be used as per the directions. This has local
effects and must not be used liberally.
Alum could be used in conjunction with some tea-tree oil in a liquid
alum spray
Spray with 10% Clorox & 90% water
Derma from Ottobock
453H10 Derma Clean spray
Generally it seems that Alum was the product of choice
Crystal stick ( www.thecrystal.com ), which is one of several tradenames for Alum. Though marketed as a natural deodorant ( it is mined in Thailand ), it works very well at combating excessive perspiration. It can usually only be found in natural food or natural product stores.
Odoban (available at chemists in the
UK) and Mitchum (supermarkets etc.). Both are quite powerful and users
with delicate skin need to be careful. People should expect to try a few
before finding the one that suits them best as individuals.
The products I provide my clients with originate from Deodorant Stones of
America, they're located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

We've had some clients using this product now for 4 years and have made it a routine using it on a regular basis. Some prefer the crystal and others
like the spray or powder. The product is relatively inexpensive, lasts a
long time, and has no negative side effects.
Thanks to all,
Jocelyn
