Modern antiperspirants also leave unsightly yellow stains, particularly on white clothes. It's the combination of the chemicals and perspiration that creates these permanent yellow underarm stains. I've been using Tussy cream deodorant for about a year now--you can buy it in bulk, and the chemical formula is almost the same as the original -- and I haven't had any problems with stains or clothing damage since then. It doesn't last quite as long as most commercial brands, but who cares. I like the fact that it's not advertised anywhere, by the way. Somehow that makes it seem more trustworthy.
I found an original 1940s milk glass Tussy jar with a red metal screw-on lid, which I use in my medicine cabinet. I just "decant" the modern stuff into the jar. Okay, call me OCD, but I like opening up my medicine cabinet in the mornings & seeing mostly 1930s and 1940s jars and bottles. (Hm, this might become another thread in the vintage home folder!)
