Never used antiperspirant or any other chemical concoction. Stink bacteria need an acidic environment to brew. Have used just plain ol' Bob's Red Mill Baking Soda (no aluminum or any other additives) for many years, adding just enough water to make a loose slurry. Dip and apply with index & middle finger tips. Tested it many summers ago by cutting, splitting and stacking about 3 cord in the heat of July for the winter's wood supply with nary a whiff of pit odor. Surprised me. Have gone many days chasing alpine bulls with similar results. Chemistry works....
