    Deodorant Sticks

    I know this is going to be a dumb question, but happened to all the stick deodorants in HK? They've all disappeared off shelves and the only choices are roll-on or sprays. What the hell?

    Yes - that annoyed me too, but it does seem to be true. No idea why.

    I bought about 20 Rexona in the Philippines last summer and the little Pinoy places around here have now also run out of stock. Strange that the manufacturers would discontinue an entire line.

    I know why the government took (decent) hairsprays off the market but stick deodorants disappearing? Strange.

    Is it men's and women's? What about the independent stores?

    Edit: So it's just Rexona then?

    They're all gone, no matter what brand. Women's lingered for a while longer, now they seem to have disappeared too.

    Perhaps summer will bring them back again.

    Have you checked with Gateway? They sometimes have deodorant (sorry don't know exactly what type, just see them near the checkout).

    Sadly, it's just not a product that gets much use here and we've decided to stop selling it kidding....well....kind of...

    I bring mine in bulk from US, but I'm almost positive I saw some last week in Gateway.

    Me too. I buy many cans of deodorant along with toothpaste and soap. I have heard razor blades are considerably cheaper in Manila also.
