See if they take money orders if so then you'll have to do it that way. In response to detox products posted by Clana:

Everyone, I had posted many weeks prior letting everyone know that I was trying something different and I now wanted to let you all know that I found something finally that really helps.

1st, wash your body and under-arm with a puff or face cloth with "anti-bacteria" body wash. The bottle must say it otherwise it is not anti-bacterial.
2nd, go to a drug store and pick up a bottle of "hand sanitizer". I have used "germ-x" and it works great. Runs about 5 bucks a bottle.
3rd, while your at the drug store, pick up Crystal deodorant. It works ! runs about 5 bucks.

By washing very well, drying yourself off with a clean towel and applying about a dime size amount of Germ-x or other hand sanitizer to your underarms, then you can wait until it dries or apply the crystal deodorant immediately afterwards, it doesn't matter. This works.

Then start throwing away your old shirts and buying new ones. The only time that I found I smelled was when I put on an old shirt. The new shirts were fresh and clean. After a full day, I smelled my pits and it was sunshine fresh... finally relief ! !
Everyone, I have been using this now for about 2 months and it is really working and working consistently. No smell at all anymore. The hand sanitizer kills all the bacteria and the crystal helps protect you from clogging your pores and breeding more bacteria.

Try it and let me know. I think so far it is a cure and it's cheap. I hope it helps everyone ! Good luck.

Cancal, I have been using the crystal for about 3 days now. On the first day I got a little odor. On the second day I sweat pretty heavily and got no odor. On day three however I didn't sweat much, but I got odor. Someone told me you have to use it for a week or so before it becomes effective and works consistantly. Have you had any experience with this? Thanks.

I find the crystal helps about 90% better then any other deod i have ever tried before. I still found an odor after the day was done but not as much. The important combination that I found really helped was by adding the hand sanitizor. When you stop and think about it, the bacteria under the arms are really tough to get rid of. Reading the posts tells everyone that even after showering and washing really well, I and others still have the odor. The hand sanitizer kills the bacteria under the arms and I personally believe that it soaks under the skin layer as well. It is not a once application. I put it on each day after I shower and I have found a 99% difference.
As a test I didn't use any deoderant for an entire day, to say the least, I wasn't pleasant. I used about a dime size portion of hand sanitizer under each arm and voila.. the smell was gone. It proved that the hand sanitizer killed the bacteria that caused the smell.
I hope it helps explain a bit more, but keep in mind, this is only my perspective and something I found that really helps my situation. I hope it helps you and others.

Well the crystal seemed to work today which is good. I'm not 100% sure how well it works though. I'm still unsure so I'll keep running the "sniff tests" on it. I'm thinking I'll switch from my lightly scented fabric softner to a fragrance free one because I think it will mix with my body chemistry better. I so badly want my confidance back. If I can find a solution to this problem I will feel like a major weight has been lifted off of me. I'm praying for all of you and I ask you to do the same for me. Best of luck everyone! smile

P.S. The weather here is around 80 degrees so at some points I am sweating buckets but the crystal seems to be holding up. I really hope this lasts.

Stinkbomb, how do you check to see if your armpits smell? The only way I can tell is by putting my head into my shirt and smelling my armpits directly.
