I bought Lady Speed Stick for the first time recently, because it was on clearance. Today's consumer tip: Don't buy clearance-rack deodorant. Resign yourself to the fact that it's one of those products for which you really should pay more to get the best available. Like condoms. Or home spinal-surgery kits.

Eh, close enough. |
Unfortunately, Lady Speed Stick has managed to disappoint even these simple expectations. It doesn't work, is what I'm saying. When I'm wearing Lady Speed Stick, you can bet that by the end of the day, I'll be both sweating and stinking. This is not my goal when I head out every morning. It's not that I mind offending people. I just don't want to do it with my armpits.

Not when I can do it by posting pictures like this. |
Bottom line: I'm boycotting Lady Speed Stick in all sizes, scents, and price points. I think this will send a strong message to Mennen, the manufacturer of Lady Speed Stick, that it can't just mess around with the underarms of one bitchy woman with a little-read blog. My pits and I will fight back, even if it costs a multinational corporation upwards of 12 cents in profit. I'm willing to go there to make a point. I'm not trying to bring the company to its knees, mind you, although that would serve them right, as it would bring their noses approximately to the level of my undeodorized armpits. I just want my voice to be heard.
If this boycott works, look for me to wage war on other underperforming products. I plan to start with the very misleadingly named Spotted Dick.
You totally can't microwave this stuff.
We had that same doctor kit when my kids were younger. My daughter used to take the blood pressure of my wrist all the time because that's the only part of my body it would fit around.
