randall_flagg Posted August 26, 2006 at 12:08 AM Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 at 12:08 AM OK, I read all the deodorant posts and I am still at a loss. I know I can buy this stuff in China, but so far I've only found the role-on stuff, which I think is pretty digusting. As far as sprays go, I've only gotten a tiny and insanely expensive little thing at Carrefour (Jialefu). So, any recommendations as to where I could by something a bit better? Specifically in Beijing or Dalian. I don't care about the smell or anything, but I am a "deodorant maniac", so I'll need loads. Thanks, Randall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebir Posted August 26, 2006 at 01:49 AM Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 at 01:49 AM Have you tried the watsons pharmacy chain? I'm pretty sure they have the blocks and sprays too... There are branches in oriental plaza and poly plaza - and probably quite a few more in beijing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeizhen Posted August 26, 2006 at 02:11 AM Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 at 02:11 AM Nivea makes a block one that is pretty neutral, but double check to make sure you aren't buying the 美白, whitening, one, because it might make your skin itchy.

heifeng Posted August 28, 2006 at 08:56 AM Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 at 08:56 AM I would guess the womens stuff would work, just perhaps require occasional reapplication! Really, you thought the roll on stuff is nasty? I think the 发 (fa) roll-on in the glass bottle smells pretty good! You can pick from a variety of flowery, spring, or ocean-like scents... If you are really desparate, which you said you were, just get one of the chinese-forum's peeps to import some deoderant for you and give them the cash! It could become a whole deoderant import ring...afterall school is starting up and it's small enough to fit a few extra in luggage! worst case scenario they end up with extra deoderant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
td36285n Posted September 4, 2006 at 05:42 PM Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 at 05:42 PM I was in Beijing in the summer of 2005 and it so happened that I forgot my Old Spice deodorant in HK. I tried the Watson right outside of Qinghua's side gate and they only had the rolled on "Fa" brand. It smelled like crap and it wore off after 30 minutes, but it was better than nothing. Lesson #101: You can forget to bring your digital camera, laptop and underwear, but don't ever forget your deodorant when you go to Beijing at the start of the summer.
